Norfolk'n'Clue> buy sandwich
The barman gives you a cheese sandwich. The bread is like the stuff that stereos come packed in, the cheese would be great for rubbing out spelling mistakes, and margarine and pickle have performed an unedifying chemical reaction to produce something that shouldn't be, but is, turquoise. Since it is clearly unfit for human consumption you are grateful to be charged only a pound for it.

Country Lane
The road runs from your home, to the north, toward the village Pub, to the west.
There is a dog here.
The dog carries on yapping for a moment and then gulps uncomfortably.
Ford hurries after you.

Norfolk'n'Clue> north
You reach the site of what was your home. It is now a pile of rubble. Mr. Prosser looks sheepishly triumphant, a trick few people can do, as it requires a lot of technically complex deltoid muscle work.
Front of House
There is a huge pile of rubble to the north. A path leads around it to the northeast and northwest, and a country lane is visible to the south.
Mr. Prosser, from the local council, is standing on the other side of the bulldozer. He seems to be wearing a digital watch.
Ford hurries after you.

You muck up all his fancy facial work. This is the last moment of satisfaction you will experience for some time.

You are obviously letting things get to you. You should learn to relax a little.
With a noise like a cross between Led Zeppelin's farewell concert and the eruption of Krakatoa, a huge fleet of Vogon Constructor ships flies overhead and announces that the Earth will be demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass in "two of your Earth minutes."
In all the turmoil, you drop the thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is and it rolls away. It is the least of your worries. Anyway, you've been trying to get rid of it for years.

You muck up all his fancy facial work. This is the last moment of satisfaction you will experience for some time.
The vast yellow ships thunder across the sky, spreading waves of terror and panic in their wake. The voice of the Vogon Captain slams across the country, insisting that the planning charts and demolition orders have been available at the local planning office in Alpha Centauri for fifty years and it's too late to start making a fuss about it now.
Throughout the noise, Ford is shouting at you. He removes a small black device from his satchel, but accidentally drops it at your feet.

Taken.
Fierce gales whip across the land, and thunder bangs continuously through the air in the wake of the giant ships. Ford fights to reach you, but the wind is too fierce. Further announcements from the Vogon Captain make it clear that demolition will begin in just a few seconds.
Through the blinding rain, you see lights flickering on the small device.

The electronic Sub-Etha signaling device is shaped like a small fist with an extended thumb. Various lights along its "knuckles" are currently blinking wildly, indicating a spaceship in the vicinity. It has two small buttons, a red one labelled "Call Engineer" and a green one labelled "Hitchhike." It bears a small label which reads "Another fine product of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation." Affixed to the Thumb is a lifetime guarantee.

Lights whirl sickeningly around your head, the ground arches away beneath your feet, and every atom of your being is scrambled, an experience you're probably going to have to get used to. You are in...

You can see nothing, feel nothing, hear nothing, taste nothing, smell nothing, and are not entirely certain who you are.
