"I think they're just strange symbols of some kind
" said Zaphod
hardly glancing back.
Trillian shrugged and hurried after him.
From time to time a doorway led either to the left or right into smallish chambers which Ford discovered to be full of derelict puter equipment. He dragged Zaphod into one to have a look. Trillian followed.
"Look
" said Ford
"you reckon this is Magrathea ..."
"Yeah
" said Zaphod
"and we heard the voice
right?"
"OK
so I've bought the fact that it's Magrathea — for the moment. What you have so far said nothing about is how in the Galaxy you found it. You didn't just look it up in a star atlas
that's for sure."
"Research. Government archives. Detective work. Few lucky guesses. Easy."
"And then you stole the Heart of Gold to e and look for it with?"
"I stole it to look for a lot of things."
"A lot of things?" said Ford in surprise. "Like what?"
"I don't know."
"What?"
"I don't know what I'm looking for."
"Why not?"
"Because ... because ... I think it might be because if I knew I wouldn't be able to look for them."
"What
are you crazy?"
"It's a possibility I haven't ruled out yet
" said Zaphod quietly. "I only know as much about myself as my mind can work out under its current conditions. And its current conditions are not good."
For a long time nobody said anything as Ford gazed at Zaphod with a mind suddenly full of worry.
"Listen old friend
if you want to ..." started Ford eventually.
