锘縇isten to Ford.

锘縍ead the sales brochure that's lying on the ground.

锘縔ou've just been picked up by a fantastic new spaceship powered by something called an Infinite Improbability Drive. You might want to find out more about it.

锘縄f you stick around until everyone enters the sauna, and pay attention to what everyone is saying, you'll find out.

锘縏he woman is Tricia MacMillan, also known as Trillian. She is an Earthwoman whom you met at a party in Islington not too long ago, at which time you totally failed to impress her. She eventually left the party with a guy named Phil... who is, you realise, the two-headed man standing next to her.

锘縏he man is Zaphod Beeblebrox, current President of the Galaxy, who has stolen this revolutionary new Infinite Improbability Drive-powered spaceship in order to locate the legendary lost planet of Magrathea. Zaphod and Ford know each other.

锘縏hat you should be picked up in the vast emptiness of space by a ship inhabited by an acquaintance from your now-destroyed native planet as well as your travelling companion's semi-cousin can only be considered highly improbable. But then, with Infinite Improbability Drives at work, the infinitely improbable is not only possible but quite likely.

锘縁rom the Bridge, head to port.

锘縏丑别谤别 is no way to actually stay in the sauna.

锘縏丑别谤别fore, once Ford, Zaphod, and Trillian enter the sauna, they will be effectively inaccessible to you for the remainder of the game.

锘縒ithout Eddie, who would make all those fun announcements?

锘縀ddie is the only one who can turn on the main drive.

锘緽ut he won't obey your order to do that, only Zaphod's.

锘縀ddie's help is indirectly necessary to obtain a cup of tea.

锘緽ut in terms of solving puzzles, you can basically ignore Eddie.

锘縃ave you examined them?

锘縏he large receptacle is important.

锘緿on't go on until you've figured out how to set up and use the spare Improbability Drive.

锘縎eriously! Don't go any further unless you've figured out the spare Improbability Drive.

锘縏he large plug from the spare Drive can be plugged into the large receptacle.

锘緽ut that isn't necessarily the right thing to do.

锘縄n fact, when you plug in the spare Drive at the wrong time, Eddie warns you that it's only for emergencies.

锘縉otice that when you use the Drive while it's plugged into the large receptacle, both the large receptacle and the large plug are destroyed.

锘縔ou can only use the Drive in connected-to-controls mode once during the course of the game.

锘縎ee the question about the missile attack at the end of this section.

锘緼ll you have to do is touch the touch-sensitive pad.

锘縏he Nutrimat does all the rest, and in seconds you'll have your very own cup of incredibly delicious Advanced Tea Substitute (ATS).

锘縒ell, maybe not so delicious. But at least useful.

锘緼ctually, there is a way to get something else from the Nutrimat.

锘縄t's a cup of tea (real tea, not ATS).

锘緽ut first, you'll need something that isn't in the Galley.

锘縄n fact, it isn't even in the Heart of Gold.

锘緿on't go on unless you have the Nutrimat/Computer Interface (not to be confused with the shipping carton for the Interface).

Use the interface.

锘縊pen the service panel and remove the circuit board. Now, put the Interface inside the Nutrimat. Finally, touch the pad!

Still having trouble getting tea? See the question about the missile attack. It's the last question in this section.

ATS is useful, although drinking it is a bad idea.

Have you examined it?

锘縃ave you discovered a need for a source of Brownian Motion?

锘縎ee the question about the spare Improbability Drive.

Don't go on until you're actually holding the Gargle Blaster.

锘縃ave you tried drinking it or examining it?

锘縃ave you read the Guide entry on Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters?

锘縍ead carefully what Zaphod says when he notices that his Gargle Blaster is missing.

锘縏丑别谤别 is absolutely no way that you can be holding a Gargle Blaster. The Nutrimat gives them only to Zaphod. You should never have developed this question.

Have you ever heard the expression "nectar of the gods"?

锘縃ave you ever tried boiling water at very high altitudes?

锘縃ave you ever seen the 1993 remake of "Citizen Kane" starring Sly Stallone as Charles Foster Kane?

锘縃ave you ever felt like you developed hints that you shouldn't have?

Don't go on unless you actually have the cup of tea.

锘緿on't go on unless this cup of tea is real tea, not just Advanced Tea Substitute (ATS).

锘縃ave you ever examined the tea?

锘緽ecause it has even more Brownian Motion than the ATS, it will make a better source of it for the spare Improbability Drive. Try it.

锘縎ee the question about controlling where you go when you leave Dark, in the section called 'In the Dark.'

You can remove it from the Nutrimat.

锘縃ave you examined it?

锘縔ou can flip any of the eight dipswitches.

锘縔ou can even flip them while the circuit board is still in the Nutrimat.

锘縃ave you noticed the message in tiny letters on the board?

锘縏丑别谤别 is a way to read that message.

锘緿on't go on until you've been on Damogran.

锘緿on't go on until you've opened the toolbox.

"Read the message through the Magnifying Glass."

Try examining or reading it.

锘縃ave you opened the carton?

锘縏he Sirius Cybernetics Corporation has apparently screwed up (a common occurrence) and put the wrong item inside the shipping carton.

锘縔ou'll be able to find the Nutrimat/Computer Interface elsewhere in the game.

Have you examined or read it?

锘緿on't go on unless you've been in the Lair.

锘縃ave you tried shooting the gun at the Beast?

锘縃ave you tried it several times?

锘縏he gun is completely worthless, useless, and unimportant.

Yes, but not without a fight.

锘縔ou'll have to argue with the game for a few turns.

锘縐sually, "Yes" or "No" responses are sufficient.

锘匡豢The proper sequence, from the Corridor, Aft End is "Aft." "Yes." "Yes." "Aft." "No."

锘縃owever, there's more. See the next question.

Have you gotten into the Engine Room? If not, you should do so before looking at the next hint.

The game claims that there's nothing interesting there.

锘縃owever, after losing that argument with you, the game is probably a bit peeved and is acting petulant.

You'll have to be persistent if you want to find out what's in the Engine Room

Type "Look" three times. The game will then give in and describe the room and the stuff there.
