| − | GRAMS NARRATOR BACKGROUND |
||
| − | |||
| − | NARRATOR The History of every major Galactic civilization has gone |
||
| − | through three distinct and recognizable phases - those of survival, inquiry and |
||
| − | sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. For instance |
||
| − | the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?', the second |
||
| − | by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we |
||
| − | have lunch?' |
||
| − | |||
| − | The history of warfare is similarly subdivided, though here the phases are |
||
| − | Retribution, Anticipation, and Diplomacy - Thus Retribution: 'I am going to |
||
| − | kill you because you killed my brother', Anticipation: 'I am going to kill you |
||
| − | because I killed your brother', and Diplomacy: ' I am going to kill my brother |
||
| − | and then kill you on the pretext that your brother did it'. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Meanwhile, the Earthman Arthur Dent, to whom all this can be of only academic |
||
| − | interest as his only brother was long ago nibbled to death by an okapi, is |
||
| − | about to be plunged into a real intergalactic war. This is largely because the |
||
| − | spaceship that he and his companions have inadvertently stolen from the |
||
| − | Restaurant at the End of the Universe has now returned itself on autopilot to |
||
| − | its rightful time and place. Its rightful time is immediately prior to a |
||
| − | massive invasion of an entire alien galaxy, and its rightful place is at the |
||
| − | head of a fleet of one hundred thousand black battle cruisers. This is why: |
||
| − | |||
| − | ARTHUR You mean this ship we've stolen is the admiral's flag-ship? |
||
| − | |||
| − | FORD That's the way it's looking. Perhaps we should just ask them if they |
||
| − | want it back. You know, if we were reasonably polite about it... |
