"The monkey man is going out to talk to them," said Zaphod, casually.




"What?" Yelled Arthur.




"I knew we should have got him a replacement brain," said Zaphod. "Do you want to know where the tea is before you go?"




"Zaphod! You can't send Arthur out there," exclaimed Trillian. "They could tear him to pieces."




Zaphod declined to comment, but grinned. His teeth acted as a red rag to Arthur. He charged across the bridge, intending to send Zaphod flying, but Zaphod neatly side stepped and Arthur flew past, through a happy door that opened on seeing a body flying towards it and wished Arthur a fruitful journey. Arthur rolled down some stairs and ended up by the main airlock, which gladly hissed open.




Arthur was confronted by hundreds of cheering dwarves.




"Hooray, 'Our Seventh Obu' is dead. Long live our saviour!" They cheered.




Arthur looked down and saw, to his dismay, two stumpy legs sticking out from under the Heart of Gold. He rightly assumed they belonged to 'Our Seventh Obu'. He didn't assume that she was the most infamous critic of Our Third Entism and was widely hated for her outspoken comments. If he had assumed this he would have again been right. He didn't so he apologised.




"Don't apologise," shouted Latigid, the chief Stavromulan. "You have rid us of a blight to our land. What is the name of our hero?"




"Arthur Dent," said Arthur and was astounded when the entire crowd fell to their knees, causing a minor sandstorm. He was joined by the rest of the party, who too were astounded.
