Часть 5. Президентский катер
Фрагмента про катер нет в фильме, но в книжке он ярко показан. На катере президент галактики Зафод подкатывал к космическому кораблю "The Heart of Gold" во время его первой демонстрации для публики, на планете Дамогран. После чего угнал корабль, взяв самого себя в заложники.Далеко, на противоположном спиральном рукаве Галактики, в пятистах тысячах световых лет от звезды Солнце, Зафод Библброкс, президент Имперского галактического правительства, мчался по морям Дамограна, его дельта-лодка с ионным двигателем сверкала и переливалась на дамогранском солнце. .В этом эпизоде движок невероятности помещает вас внутрь сознания Зафода. Действуя в его теле, вы похищаете корабль, в сговоре с Триллиан. А также добываете необходимые артефакты. Продолжаем игру:
Лодка неслась по воде. Путь занимал время, потому что Дамогран — страшно неудобно устроенная планета. Поверхность состоит только из средних и больших необитаемых островов, разделенных очень красивыми, но раздражающе широкими участками океана.
Толпа ахнула, ослепленная солнцем и видом, когда президентский катер промчался вокруг мыса в бухту. Он сверкал и сиял, когда мчался по морю широкими скользящими поворотами.
На самом деле ему вообще не нужно было касаться воды, потому что он опирался на слой ионизированных атомов, но для эффекта он был снабжен тонкими подводными крыльями. Они разрезали свистящие в воздухе струи воды, прорезали глубокие борозды в море, которое бешено колыхалось и, пенясь, тонуло в кильватерном кильватерном следе лодки, несшейся через залив.
Зафод любил производить впечатление: в этом он был силён.
...A mist spins round your head. You fall into what seems like a bottomless pit. Suddenly, you hit the bottom so hard that you wish it had been bottomless...

>see
(darkness)
You see a painfully bright light that stabs at the back of your eyes.
>look at light
The light resolves itself into the bright orange Sun of Damogran.
The pain at the back of your eyes is from partying until very late last night, and both your heads are suffering the worst hangover you've ever experienced. You remember formulating a plan to steal the Heart of Gold, but you can't for the life of you remember any details.
Presidential Speedboat, in the pilot seat
You are piloting the speedboat, which features very simple controls, toward the island of France (Footnote 3), where the dedication ceremonies for the Heart of Gold will occur. You are currently steering the boat toward a narrow channel between towering cliffs and a rocky spire.
There is a tool box here. (outside the pilot seat)
>look under seat
You discover and pick up a small key and a piece of fluff under the seat cushion.
You continue to steer toward the narrow channel.
>unlock toolbox
(with the key)
The tool box opens revealing a magnifying glass, and a laser-assisted monkey wrench.
You continue to steer toward the narrow channel.
>put fluff in toolbox
Done.
You continue to steer toward the narrow channel.
>get toolbox
Taken.
You continue to steer toward the narrow channel.
>steer toward spire
The boat is now heading straight at the rocky spire.
>wait
Time passes...
You continue to steer toward the rocky spire.
>wait
Time passes...
You continue to steer toward the rocky spire.
>wait
Time passes...
Suddenly, the autopilot leaps to life, steering the boat away from the rocky spire. The crowd gathered for the dedication oohs and aahs as the boat swerves through the narrow channel. As it reaches the base of the towering cliffs a plume of water forms under it, sending it higher and higher. The crowd bursts into applause as the boat reaches the top of the cliff, just south of the ceremonial dais.
>stand
You are now on your feet.
>out
As you step out of the boat, the plume of water lowers it away. The crowd, unaware of the autopilot, bursts into a round of admiring applause.
Dais
This is a platform surrounded by a crowd. Several members of the crowd are holding a huge banner. Just to the east is the Heart of Gold.
>say "Hi"
The crowd cheers wildly! It thinks you're terrific.
>say "That ship is really amazing"
The crowd cheers wildly! It thinks you're terrific.
>say "That really is truly amazing"
The crowd cheers wildly! It thinks you're terrific.
>say "That is so amazingly amazing I think I'd like to steal it"
The crowd cheers wildly! It thinks you're terrific. Suddenly, Trillian leaps out of the crowd, grabs you by the necks, and points a blaster at your left head.
Guards rush up, photon rifles poised to shoot. "Stay back!" shouts Trillian.
"One more step and the President of the Galaxy is fried meat!" The guards seem unsure, and look at you for instructions.
>guards, drop rifles
The guards hesitate, then toss their photon rifles into a pile in front of you.
>Trillian, shoot rifles
With a cloud of sparks the pile of photon rifles disintegrates. The crowd cheers wildly! It thinks you're terrific.
>east
You and Trillian enter the Heart of Gold, that beautiful bauble you've been coveting ever since your decision to run for President of the Galaxy. The excitement overwhelms you (or perhaps it's just the awesome hangover from last night). Everything becomes...

You can't hear anything, see anything, smell anything, feel anything, or taste anything, and do not even know where you are or who you are or how you got there.
>wait
There's nothing you can taste, nothing you can see, nothing you can hear, nothing you can feel, nothing you can smell, you do not even know who you are.

>hear
(darkness)
You hear the deep and distant hum of a star drive coming from far above. There is an exit to port.
>south
(We were lying about the exit to port.) You emerge from a small doorway...

You feel a wave of depression sweep over you, and you turn to see that Marvin the robot has stalked miserably into the room.
>wait

Marvin wanders off.

A mist spins round your head. You fall into what seems like a bottomless pit. Suddenly, you hit the bottom so hard that you wish it had been bottomless...
