Bridge
This is the bridge of the Heart of Gold. A gangway leads down, and steam
comes from an entrance to port. Next to the control console is Eddie (the
shipboard computer).
Marvin, the Paranoid Android, is here.
There is a nice, hot cup of Advanced Tea Substitute here.
A carton labelled "Nutrimat/Computer Interface" is sitting here.
It looks like the shipping carton contains:
a strange gun
There is a sales brochure here.
There is a handbag here.Marvin wanders off.

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)> Bedroom Score: 0 Moves: 2

sways a little.> Bedroom Score: 0 Moves: 3

your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is.>

Bedroom Score: 10 Moves: 7
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.
telephone: You pick up the receiver. 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. Shouldn't you be taking more interest in events in the
world around you? While you've got it...?>

Front of House
You can enter your home to the north. A path leads around it to the
northeast and northwest, and a country lane is visible to the south. All
that lies between your home and the huge yellow bulldozer bearing down on
it is a few yards of mud.
Mr. Prosser, from the local council, is standing on the other side of the
bulldozer. He seems to be wearing a digital watch. He looks startled to see
you emerge, and yells at you to get out of the way.The bulldozer rumbles slowly toward your home.

The noise of the giant bulldozer is now so violently loud that you can't

Time passes...
With a terrible grinding of gears the bulldozer comes to an abrupt halt
just in front of you. It shakes, shudders, and emits noxious substances all
over your rose bed. Prosser is incoherent with rage.Moments later, your friend Ford Prefect arrives. He hardly seems to notice
your predicament, but keeps glancing nervously at the sky. He says, "Hello,
Arthur," takes a towel from his battered leather satchel, and offers it to
you.>
