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

Irv, don't get upset I'll grab an espresso from your machine before I head off to face certain death (or at least a little bit of danger )

*serves espresso* I could always be like... what's the name of Whoppi Goldberg's character from TNG? Like her.

~Irving, who is still a he

Guinan. How good to see you.

Sorry Irving...didn't see you there...

*enters at a run*

Hi y'all... a big hi especially to Greebo, Asteroid Lil and Irving. Welcome aboard.

Oh poo. I'm too late to join the away team, if such it be. Fine then, we'll just jolly well make our own entertainment.

*heads off up to bridge, trying to figure out how to make the Saving the Galaxy Effort its own page...*

*pweesh*

I didn't see you either. I'm somewhere else.

It must be that big Blue hat he's wearing.

*looks around, wonders if she's needed on the away mission...assumes that if she was...someone wouls let her know because she really wants to go...then goes to the bridge...leaving the dry disk behind with Croz*

*Stands around, tapping foot, waiting to be shrunk and injected.*

Ok, so who's shrinking us?

*Isn't sure which room he is in on the ship - there are major continuity errors here somewhere, but never mind.*

*Reurns from the bridge...wondering if any of the away team had left yet...whilst also wondering if it was too late to join them seeing as how there wasn't that much for her to do on the bridge...*

*Notices that no-one had been shrunk yet...then notices what looked like a big shrink-ray-type-of -thing standing in a corner...*

*Wonders briefly over wether to use it or not & get things moving*

*E was sure she'd just seen BB on the bridge after he'd amazingly piloted them out of the Bjorg ship...but then again...she wasn't entirely sure & was more than prepared to blame it on a sub-space anomaly*

The continuity errors were caused by the IIEM, even those that occured before the arrival of the IIEM (which is of course impossible )

*fiddles with nobs on the IIEM* I'm ready to shrink the away team.... ready, and.... shrinking! *Brews an espresso asthe whole away team shrinks*

~Irving

*In a small squeeky voice*

Ok, now that we're shrunk, someone has to inject the shuttle into Seven.

Hey Irv, Guinan, whatever... Save me a hot Frap for when I get back...

And don't think just because you got a coffee machine that you can muscle in on my turf, even if I am 2.5 cm high.
*realizes he will have authority enforcement problems at this height*
Damn.
*Looks back menacingly at Irv*
Ten-Forward is MINE.. grrrrrrrrrr *Refungi menacing grr*
Hey, no, no don't cry. Geez, I'm sorry bud, I didn't mean to scare you. Oh, you're laughing. Laughing at my nose. WHAT!? Why I oughta...
*turns back to party*
Lets get outta here before I get a migraine..

Oh btw, has Captain Boy worked out what I'm a spoof of yet, or should I give him clues....

*The crew of the shuttle are injected to http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=33797&thread=44808 *
(And my money is on that it's a spoof of Quark...)

*Runs over to big computer mechanism, which has "Life Sustainer/Info Sender, Perfect for those pesky away missions. Another fine product of Crater Labs, Inc. Makes himself a hot tea in his brownian motion inducer, and connects the machine to the brownian motion. Flips switch*

Okay, I'm monitering Seven-Of-Up. Can you hear me?

*tinkly beam in noise*
*Lil has made a serious effort to find the right pre-feminist oufit and is now a dead ringer for Yeoman Rand, complete with infinitely improbable beehive hairdo*
*she even carries 1965 prototype of Palm pilot and stylus*

Yeoman Rand reporting for duty.
I need to remind the captain to launch a new thread.

Whoa I feel kind of funny - its feels like there are little people inside of me

Hey whats this big needle doing in me!!!

Whats going on doctor?

*uses optical visor to look at stomach and uses X-Ray vision*

Cool go you guys - hey nice boots
