They are in the sauna.  Except for Zaphod, he goes to get a drink in
the galley from time to time.

As the game often says, "that's not important. Leave it alone"

You say you've asembled the spare drive.  I assume that you have
found a good source of Brownian motion (like a cup of hot tea
substitute), and assembled the atomic vector plotter.  When the
infinite improbability drive is assembled (but not necessarily
plugged in anywhere) turning it on can make everything go dark....

After all, it is so stupid that if you can't see it, it can't see you.
The beast must be delt with before landing on the legendary lost planet
of magarathea, and opening the hatch door.

And now a question, does anyone know how Trillian picks up 'Phil' at
the party? Or should she?
