You are standing in the bridge of the starship Heart of Gold. In front of you is the main flight deck of the ship, but you cannot see anything on the viewer. The instruments indicate that the ship has landed on the planet Brontitall.

Against one wall is Eddie the onboard computer. Unfortunately he is switched to his primary personality, a legacy of the Genuine People Personality feature installed by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, and is annoyingly jovial. He is chattering away about some important information he has discovered about the Heart of Gold's current location.

You are carrying a battered edition (Galactic sidereal year 529686) of the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

On the floor you see a slighty dingy bath-towel, with your name sown into it.
