>inspect device
The electronic Sub-Etha signaling device is shaped like a small fist with an extended thumb. Various lights along its "knuckles" are currently blinking wildly, indicating a spaceship in the vicinity. It has two small buttons, a red one labelled "Call Engineer" and a green one labelled "Hitchhike." It bears a small label which reads "Another fine product of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation." Affixed to the Thumb is a lifetime guarantee.

With a screech of ion brakes a Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Repair Robot pulls up on a bike from out of the Sub-Etha.
The Earth is destroyed by the fleet of Vogon Constructor ships.

Front of House
There is a huge pile of rubble to the north. A path leads around it to the northeast and northwest, and a country lane is visible to the south.
Ford Prefect is here.
Mr. Prosser, from the local council, is standing on the other side of the bulldozer. He seems to be wearing a digital watch.

>press green button
Lights whirl sickeningly around your head, the ground arches away beneath your feet, and every atom of your being is scrambled, an experience you're probably going to have to get used to. You are in...

Release 59 / Serial number 851108
You wake up. The room is spinning very gently round your head. Or at least it would be if you could see it which you can't.
It is pitch black.
>turn on lights
Good start to the day. Pity it's going to be the worst one of your life. The light is now on.
Bedroom, in the bed
The bedroom is a mess.
It is a small bedroom with a faded carpet and old wallpaper. There is a washbasin, a chair with a tatty dressing gown slung over it, and a window with the curtains drawn. Near the exit leading south is a phone.
There is a flathead screwdriver here. (outside the bed)
There is a toothbrush here. (outside the bed)
>get up
Very difficult, but you manage it. The room is still spinning. It dips and sways a little.
>take gown
Luckily, this is large enough for you to get hold of. You notice something in the pocket.
>open pockets
It's hard to open or close the pocket unless you're wearing the gown.
>take aspirin
You can't see any aspirin here!
>take all
telephone: It dances by you like a thing possessed.
flathead screwdriver: It slips through your fumbling fingers and hits the carpet with a nerve-shattering bang.
toothbrush: You lunge for it, but the room spins nauseatingly away. The floor gives you a light tap on the forehead.
>exit
You miss the doorway by a good eighteen inches. The wall jostles you rather rudely.

You are now in the bed.

>examine aunt
You can't see any aunt here!
>examine thing
Apart from a label on the bottom saying "Made in Ibiza" it furnishes you with no clue as to its purpose, if indeed it has one. You are surprised to see it because you thought you'd thrown it away. Like most gifts from your aunt, you've been trying to get rid of it for years.

>call police
You explain your situation. The desk sergeant promises to send someone over soon, and says not to try anything crazy in the meantime, like lying down in front of the bulldozer. A moment later, the dialing tone is suddenly cut off. Glancing through the window you can't help but notice the large old oak tree of which you are particularly fond crashing down through the phone cable.

>Take all
telephone: The cable is down, remember?
flathead screwdriver: Taken.
toothbrush: As you pick up the toothbrush a tree outside the window collapses. There is no causal relationship between these two events. Shouldn't you be taking more interest in events in the world around you? While you've got it...?
