Who am I?
- Ask the game. (Type WHO AM I?)
Where should I go?
- You are reliving the last few minutes before the destruction of the Earth...
- ...this time as Ford Prefect rather than Arthur Dent.
- The Improbability Drive has sent you back in time and has also changed your identity.
- You want to do what Ford did when you were Arthur.
- Go north to Front of House.
What should I do about that feeling of uneasiness?
- Have you tried waiting a few turns?
- Obviously, you're doing the wrong thing.
- You shouldn't be in the Pub at this point.
- See the previous question.
What should I do about Arthur?
- According to the introductory text for this scene, why did you come here?
- What did Ford do at this point when you were Arthur?
- Try to give the towel to Arthur.
- The towel is inside your satchel.
What should I do about Prosser?
- Don't go on until you've done the step called for by the previous question.
- You want Arthur to come with you to the Pub.
- If you recall from when you were Arthur, it would mean the destruction of Arthur's house if he stood up at this point.
- He won't stand up until you've safeguarded his house.
- You have to talk to Prosser.
- But he can't hear you from here
- So you have to APPROACH PROSSER or WALK AROUND THE BULLDOZER. Now you can talk to him.
- You want him to lie down in front of the bulldozer.
- Try PROSSER, LIE DOWN IN FRONT OF THE BULLDOZER.
- Arthur is now willing to follow you to the Pub.
What should I do in the Pub?
- Unless Arthur is with you, you are here prematurely.
- Once again, think back to what Ford did when you were Arthur.
- The first thing to do is BUY SOME BEER.
- Then DRINK THE BEER. Arthur will follow your example. You need to do this twice.
- You can BUY SOME PEANlITS, but it isn't necessary to do so.
- When Arthur's house is destroyed, he will rush out of the Pub. It would be a good idea to stay with him.
What should I do about the dog?
- There's not much you can do about the dog at this point.
- You may find out more about the dog later.
What's the point of this second Earth scene?
- You learn a lot about Ford's motivations, thus making for a more cohesive, internally consistent story line.
- Oh, right. You're more interested in puzzle solutions. The entire point of this scene is acquiring one particular item for use on the Heart of Gold.
- It's in the satchel.
- It's the satchel fluff.
- There's a way to transfer it to something, other than the satchel, so that it will be accessible when you get back to the Heart of Gold.
- That something is Arthur Dent.
- Give the fluff to Arthur.
- This is a rather weird action. and Arthur won't accept the fluff until he's had enough beer.
- After Arthur runs back to his house (now rubble), follow him and give him the fluff. He'll accept it at this point and put it in his pocket. Then just wait for events to run their course. and you'll soon find yourself back in Dark. When you get back to the Heart of Gold, the satchel fluff should be in the pocket of your gown.
