4. This is Mega-Sewickley. It is a happy, peaceful place.
But one day the people of Mega-Sewickley got some
troubling news …

5. Mega-Sewickley was in danger from an exploding toilet!
Everyone had to evacuate right away.

6. The blast from the toilet flung one resident, called
Drewthur Dent, deep into outer space. Luckily, before he
asphyxiated, he was picked up by a passing spaceship,
the fabulous Heart of Coal!

7. The ship was full of strange and interesting beings. The
first person who introduced herself to Drewthur was
Clarian, an Earthwoman with advanced degrees in
Celcius. She was accompanied by Vega the Paranoid
Dogdroid, who barks at every passing watermelon and
loves cheese.

8. The pilot of this strange craft was FinsidBeeblebrox, a
two-headed fellow who is suspicious of the color green.
He likes to play in the snow.

9. Also aboard is Deeper Thought. He is constantly on a
screen.

10. The Heart of Coal, with its strange crew, flew to Merion
Station, which orbits the Planet of Brotherly Love.
“Why are we here?” asked Drewthur Dent.
“To find the question to the ultimate answer,” said
Finsid.
“We think there are clues here,” said Deeper Thought.
“Will there be tea?” asked Drewthur Dent.

11. The explorers landed on Merion Station. They were
confronted by The Guardian.
“Sup, dudes,” said The Guardian. “You must play me in
soccer to get past me.”

12. “You’re on!” said Finsid. He kicked the ball, but The
Guardian blocked his shot.
“That was your fault,” said one of Finsid’s heads.
“No, that was your fault!” said the other head.

13. Then Drewthur kicked, but his shot was pathetic. The
Guardian barely had to move to block it.

14. Vega, Clarian and Deeper Thought made vain attempts to
score. Vega got distracted by squirrels. Clarian
overthought it. And Deeper Thought was too busy on a
screen.

15. “Rejected!” said The Guardian. “This is your last try,
noobs.”

16. “Let’s work together!” said Clarian.
“Then can we get some tea?” asked Drewthur Dent.
One of Finsid’s heads said “No.” The other head
whacked him, and the first head decided to cooperate.

17. GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
The travelers could now explore Merion Station to find
the clues.

18. At a hyper-mega-learning-cubicle, Finsid foundthe first
clue:

19. At the BalaCynwydDetention and Torture Center, Deeper
Thought discovered the second clue:

20. Clarian found the last clue at St. Joseph’s Ultra-Brain
Study Institute of Studying:

21. “We discovered the answer to the Ultimate Question:
Ceape, Vole, Dill may fan!” said Clarion.
“Wait!” said Finsid. “I think this is a puzzle.”
“Let me put my heads together to figure this out.”

22. “The real meaning of life, the universe and everything, is:
”
“And tea!” said Drewthur Dent.
