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

Everything's fine, we're just attacking the virus from both inside and outside.

Have some espresso coffee to calm you down.

*Attaches cable between Seven of Up's data node and Dr. Croz's laptop to upload the antivirus*

*beams in, as delivery person for Mt. Sandcastle's donut stall (rather than as Captain Joanna, I'm having two roles here, ta very much) and hands over a box of Donuts to Lil.*
Eat and enjoy!!!
*beams out*

*realises Joanna has turned into Majel Barret *

Okay, so let's get moving. Mr Bluebottle, how far are we from the Disney planet... I mean, from Ebola VI? I hope the expedition to save Seven is finished by then...

*Voice crackles over speaker to Croz*
Dr. Croz, could you give me directions to a part of Sevens body which isn't affected by the virus so we can attach the viruzar to the shuttle?

*Yeoman Rand stands by captain's chair and looks concerned*

Coulda sworn this thread split off elsewhere . . .

~Irving

Keptin, ve are at Seven's heart, pweparing to fire the viruzar!
Bye bye Wirus!!!
*Sounds of viruzar firing*
Keptin, ve have killed the centre of the wirus!

Ok, that's the hard part done with. All you have to do now is get out of there as quickly as possible before Seven's body starts attacking you instead of the virus

Meanwhile.....
CO completes the final stages of the reapir work on the escape sphere. After a whole week of swearing at the overlord gill bates and having to remove the the operating system "clear apperture commonly found in houses" and replace it. The escape shere is ready.

As it clears the hatch CO wonders how his boss will take the news that he lost another cube to a virus and a faulty holomatrix.


Days later...
CO stands before Strangely green and explains the unfortunate circumstances that led to the total destruction of 2 million Bjorg drones and the new deluxe cube with airbags and ABS.
Strangely Green takes it personally and kills CO for his incompetance and decides to take on the crew of the esirpretne himself....

Hey wow - I feel much better

*however, he has a feeling of concern over this Strangely Green/Curiously Orange scenario*

I hope that the guys can get out of me OK...

Oh oh I need to sneeze...

ah...AH....TIIIISSSSSSHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*Sneezes with incredible velocity, bringing up the away team in a
gloop of Bjorg mucus*

*Strollabout flies into a tissue*
*The tiny crew aboard let out whoops and cheers*

Ve are out!!
Dr. Croz, could ve be enlarged now? ve've seen things you wouldn't believe!
*Croz looks at Strollabout through a magnifying glass*
CROZ: Is that a yellow submarine you are towing along with you?

*Yeoman Rand lays tissue out on lightbox and sprays entire area with antihistamine and mucus dissolvant, clearly exposing Strollabout and yellow submarine with gaping breach in hull*

*Fires up IIEM and brings the away team plus the submarine w/ Beatles to full size*

*peers into sub*

Hello?

~Irving

Hi, Irv. Good to be back.

*Singing can be heard behind GL in the sub: "Back in the US, back in the US, back in the USSR"*

Well, Garius, you say hello, and I say goodbye. I'm going to see what I can do about extracting the Fab Four from the wreckage of their submarine...

*Enters Sub*

~Irving

*E is very glad to be back to her usual height...*

*As is Checkout who offers to buy the crew a round of drinks at Ten Forward*

*E wouldn't dream of refusing...*

*Irving walks through the murky depths of the submarine, towards the eerily perfect harmonies ahead of him*

~Nah, nah, nah, nahnananah...~
