h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, I do prefer vacuum-capable craft... We'll let ya in. Here's your terminal pill. It provides a neural-based interface with the mercenary computer systems and other mercenaries, as well as some of the goodies in this bag... *tosses him a mercenary backpack* That backpack contains a myriad of things... There's, err, let's see... The book, "So you Want to be a Mercenary", a pistol, a rifle, a scope or two, a diffuse energy weapon, a medkit, and this... *takes out what looks to be a blue * It's called a gelsuit. *unrolls it* It's made of a superlight, superstrong silksteel fiber. It can be used for hazardous environments, has light shielding, and... *the suit becomes a t-shirt and a pair of shorts* it morphs. That's controlled by your neural interface. And finally, it rolls up into the size of a .

I'm also going to assume you're trained in medical procedures, as you will be flying the chopper...

oddly enough, I thought it was the leader who got to approve new entrants and induct them into the fine and hallowed ranks of the mercenaries... but still.. my bad.

I'm still annoyed that everyone else got the hardback copy of the book...

BTW, you might want to swallow the pill, it's not an ornament .

And the gelsuits are cool...

WTF? I go to do some exams for a couple of days and suddenly CV's trying to steal my job? I'm sure that giving things out is my job as armourer, CV...

That's the not the first time he's done that...

*trying to drop CV in it*

Don't worry, he's doing that quite successfully all by himself.

*grins to himself*

*waits for CV to come online so he can drop himself in it a bit further*

*Is having a lazy day today*

So am I...

Just had a revision lesson in Physics.

Ok *takes the pill*, so i've taken the pill. I'l keep my backpack in a safeplace.

*Points to line of hooks with back packs hanging off them*

That's where we keep ours.

*njan walks over to his, and opens it. It's full of bottles of Malibu. he takes one out, sticks it in his webbing, and closes the bag again*

Mine stays on my back. CV keeps trying to steal/open/hack it .

Well, you can rest assure mines full of hmm, i would say certainly illegal stuff. *straps backpack to bottom of chopper*.

So, when do i become an 'official Mercenary'? My name still aint on your h2g2 page! Hey guys, you know i'll be sum use 2 u!

CV's offline and he's the only one with access to the Warroom page.

BTW, Put Mercenary Geek and Planet-Side Pilot (or something more descriptive) in your u-name (via prefs). It looks cool .

Finally, hop over to Jimmy's Grotty Bar at and help us cause some mayhem. Things need speeding up.

It's Baxter's bar. What more do I need to say ?

Oh, and e-mail me at [email protected] with your hotmail name (if you have one, I can't remember) and get MSN Messenger/Trillian!

Stupid CTRL-V still don't work...

Jimmy's Grotty Bar: A728381.

You got Trillian! *CV is suddenly gone, out of the way of charging Krans* I'll let you guys do it next time, it just ends up you don't show up in this forum often...
I'll get you on the page ASAP...
