Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Game Over

[Iconeum]

(I don't see how 'take all' didn't take atomic plotter if 'take plotter' does work? Shouldn't 'all' be inclusive for the plotter?)

attack guards

[Charles510]

>attack guards
You are obviously letting things get to you. You should learn to relax a little.

Ford continues trying to talk the guard into a sudden career change.

[Iconeum]

okay

relax

[Charles510]

>relax
A brave, Zen-like effort. It fails.

The guard says, "Well, all things considered, I guess I like being a guard. Especially the shouting. Resistance is useless!" He throws you and Ford into the airlock and closes the door.

Airlock
This airlock has massive doors to port and starboard.

Airlock
This airlock has massive doors to port and starboard.
Ford Prefect is here.

Ford points at the outer door. "In about two minutes, it will open and we'll be ejected into the vacuum of space. But don't panic, I'll think of something."

[Iconeum]

panic

[Charles510]

>panic
Not surprised.

Ford is mumbling to himself.

take hold of door

[Charles510]

>take hold of door
You used the word "hold" in a way that I don't understand.

consult guide how to breathe in space

[Charles510]

>consult guide how to breathe in space
I don't know the word "how".

inspect atomic plotter

[Cheery Dog]

Consult guide space

[Charles510]

>inspect atomic plotter
The atomic vector plotter has a small receptacle and a long, dangly bit. It bears a small label which reads "Another fine product of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation."

Ford produces a pencil and begins scribbling equations on the wall.

>Consult guide on space
The Guide checks through its Sub-Etha-Net database and eventually comes up with the following entry:

If you hyperventilate and then empty your lungs, you will last about thirty seconds in the vacuum of space. However, because space is so vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big, getting picked up by another ship within those thirty seconds is almost infinitely improbable.

Ford's eyes light up. "Do you still have the Electronic Sub-Etha Auto Hitching Thu..." At that moment, the airlock door opens, and you and Ford are blown out into space.

Your elbow must have struck some key on The Hitchhiker's Guide because it begins droning out an entry, coincidentally enough the entry on SPACE. "If you hyperventilate and then empty your lungs, you will last about thirty seconds in the vacuum of space. However, because space is so vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big, getting picked up by another ship within those thirty seconds is almost infinitely improbable." (Footnote 9)

Precisely twenty-nine seconds later, you and Ford are scooped up by a passing ship. Gasping for air, you pass out...

Quick question, I assume this uses the book as it's guide, not the movie?

[Charles510]

It’s all the same story

[Cheery Dog]

Like all it's different forms, each variation changes some details. This is the only one that has Arthur need to move stuff around to get a babelfish, presumably because the person controlling already knows it's needed.

Wait

[Enter]

Look

[Charles510]

>wait
You can't hear anything, see anything, smell anything, feel anything, or taste anything, and do not even know where you are or who you are or how you got there.

>look
Dark
You can hear nothing, smell nothing, taste nothing, see nothing, feel nothing, and are not even certain who you are.
