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

Thanks for clearin' that up, Captain.
*Salutes and strolls off*
Tlobli

: You're welcome
*Bows out theatrically*

*Suddenly pops back in to preform a comedy routine but forgets all his lines and exits, closely followed by an airborne mass of tomatos and watermelons*
Tlobti

*Elwyn glides into the lab, halts dramatically so to flare her cloak of elegant silver and black colours then grins cheekily*



why, hullo there!

*Enter the Gray Swordman's robotic butler, Edward*
"Master-Alex, he said I might be able to find him some help,-here."

[Ed]: "So, you see, he's this rich guy, perhaps you've heard of the Ferrous Foundation, downtown, in this city, as of late?"

*is startled*

eh, heya

[Edward]: "Master-Ferrous, has told me that-I am-ought to find someone, in here, this "League"-building, and-that-I-should tell-them, that he may need their-help. Was all."
*Very ambivalent sounding, for a robot.*

*Then it finally dawns to any onlookers, that the gesture the robot is doing, is an attempt at approximating shrugging*

"Help? I could try to help!"

Artemis wanders in...

"What kind of help?"

[Edward]: "It's highly classified, but you may also know him as the Gray Swordsman, so I suppose-I can tell you"
*Relates the plan to build a deep-sea, lab... but how the deep sea dwelling creatures, do not seem to like it much.*

: I saw something once like that on a "The Real Adventures of Johny Quest."

[Edward]: "You see, the drilling had accidentally uncovered some old used-reactor rods (that was a few weeks back), that were sealed in glass, but if it were discovered...by-the-wrong-hands, in short, if there is also some sort of mass, or thing?- lying dormant there, it might get awakened by the drilling, and then coupled by the radiation" =big mutant monster on the rampage.
*Grips a piece of chalk in its graspers and sketches out something kind of like Godzilla, smashing some buildings*

"He told the drilling crew to stop, but something happened to them, and they will no longer listen."

"Hmm... do they appear hypnotised?"

[Edward]: "I for one do not know. The search team who went out looking for them, has not been-heard back from either."

*Does that peculiar little robotic shrug again.*

*Tlobti bounds in with a bug trapped in a jar in hand*

"In my opinion, the drilling crew has been struck deaf by an overdosage of decibles. Hearing aids are required! Do you have any lying about?"
Tlobti

[Edward]: "They were working, in pressurized deep-sea suits, since-it-is deep-below-the coastline, on an adjacent shelf below. It would have to be water-proof. If you show me-instructions on-how to-make one, I can learn-to make them; I-did help-to build-the Gray Swordsman's car,-afterall."

what's going on?

: I want a subplot-bit, could cal it something like "The Beast From Below", Part 1. Please!

We could have a plot-plot bit of it on the Coastline...

ok but don't go mad with it. also if we're doing loads of occ stuff like this should we do it somewhere like the council room? all these occs have got to be confusing.
