The Improbability-proof control cabin of the Heart of Gold looked like a perfectly conventional spaceship except that it was perfectly clean because it was so new. Some of the control seats hadn't had the plastic wrapping taken off yet. The cabin was mostly white
oblong
and about the size of a smallish restaurant. In fact it wasn't perfectly oblong: the o long walls were raked round in a slight parallel curve
and all the angles and corners were contoured in excitingly chunky shapes. The truth of the matter is that it would have been a great deal simpler and more practical to build the cabin as an ordinary three-dimensional oblong rom
but then the designers would have got miserable. As it was the cabin looked excitingly purposeful
with large video screens ranged over the control and guidance system panels on the concave wall
and long banks of puters set into the convex wall. In one corner a robot sat humped
its gleaming brushed steel head hanging loosely beeen its gleaming brushed steel knees. Ittoo was fairly new
but though it was beautifully constructed and polished it somehow looked as if the various parts of its more or less humanoid body didn't quite fit properly. In fact they fitted perfectly well
but something in its bearing suggested that they might have fitted better.
Zaphod Beeblebrox paced nervously up and down the cabin
brushing his hands over pieces of gleaming equipment and giggling with excitement.
Trillian sat hunched over a clump of instruments reading off figures. Her voice was carried round the Tannoy system of the whole ship.
"Five to one against and falling ..." she said
"four to one against and falling ... three to one ... o ... one ... probability factor of one to one ... we have normality
I repeat we have normality." She turned her microphone off — then turned it back on
with a slight smile and continued: "Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem. Please relax. You will be sent for soon."
Zaphod burst out in annoyance: "Who are they Trillian?"
Trillian span her seat round to face him and shrugged.
