On the Vogon ship, we're shown the Vogons and the baton of this fleet, Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz.
The Vogons are adamant and abhorrent creatures. For instance, their home planet has admirable adorned crabs that the Vogons adore smashing to bits. It also has admirable gazelle-type creatures that the Vogons sit on for fun, even admitting that break the backs of the gazelle creatures.
But the Vogons get even worse: they're bureaucrats in the Galactic Civil Service. And they abhorrence hitchhikers.
That's an annoyance for Ford and Arthur as the two of them are hitchhiking on the Vogon ship. The Vogons may hate hitchhikers, but they love eating. Now, the best cooks in the galaxy are the Dentrassi, who love food and get great joy in annoying the Vogons. So it was the Dentrassi who best Ford and Arthur up from Earth afore it was destroyed. …show more content…
But luckily Ford has peanuts, so everything's cool, right?
Meanwhile, back in the control room of the Vogon ship, Jeltz is in a bad mood and wants to yell at someone. So he's happy to hear that there are some hitchhikers on the ship for him to kill.
Meanwhile, back in the Dentrassi room, Ford tries to explain things to Arthur by giving him a book, which is a decent way to get out of the job of explaining.
The book is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, an electronic book, which has entries on all sorts of things. So Arthur looks up the Vogons in the Guide.
The Guide tells Arthur that the Vogons are horrible and that you should never let a Vogon read you poetry.
Arthur is a little overwhelmed by the whole thing, but Ford promises him that they'll have a good time adventuring out in the galaxy—as soon as Arthur puts this yellow fish in his ear. Arthur hesitates.
Jeltz starts giving an announcement over the PAof the ship, but it's in Vogon, so Arthur can't understand it—until, that is, Ford puts the babel fish in his
