A/N: Well, I have now seen the movie twice and have vague plans to see it a third time. Don't get me wrong, I hated it, I just like me friends. On the bright side, I DID get the TV series and I absolutely love it! TV!Eddie's voice is so cute. Movie!Eddie sounded like he wanted to sell you something...

Tomo223: Florida sucks. The only cool thing was the gay bar next to the porn shop. Florida has a LOT of porn shops actually. And I was in the retirement community. The doors love you

HurriCanine: I wondered if I should put a warning for Zaphod-bashing, but he's one of my favorite characters so it didn't make sense to me. Also I think he's being in character. I haven't seen that episode. The closest I came was with the episode where everyone had to get plastic surgery and they all looked the same

Secret Whisper 92: I'm glad you liked it. I thought your fic was nice.

Scap: It's ok, a review is a review no matter the length Thank you!

Vogon Jelts: Woah, large party I presume. I'm happy to know that you love my story

Neko-Neko-San: Marvin's always willing to go the distance to show the world he's not happy.

The next day consisted of Eddie meeting the crew. In other words, the next day was highly uninteresting. The only things worth mention during this time are Eddie's discovery that there was only one Zaphod Beeblebrox and Eddie's meeting of Arthur.

As a computer, Eddie used voice to recognize the crew. Now that he had sight, he was able to recognize people by physical characteristics. Zaphod's heads each had their own voice and therefore Eddie felt that there were two Zaphod Beeblebroxes. Their meeting went as follows:

"Hi, Eddie," said Zaphod's left head

"Hi there, Mr. Beeblebrox!" sang Eddie

"How are you handling your new body?" Zaphod's right head asked.

Eddie paused and carefully examined Zaphod, which made him feel more than a littler awkward, before responding. "Oh, you're one person. Correcting files: Zaphod Beeblebrox and Zaphod Beeblebrox are one person...Files corrected." Eddie smiled at Zaphod. "I've gotten used to it."

Zaphod slowly nodded and walked away.

Eddie hadn't noticed Zaphod's other head when he was reactivated as Zaphod only used one head to speak. The other head was preoccupied trying to not be bored.

Arthur Dent's encounter with the android was a bit more shocking. Arthur had been walking down the halls with Ford's arm around his shoulder, Ford explaining that without an Earth, there were no Earth values to tie him down.

They passed Eddie, who was trying to figure out where Marvin was. Eddie saw them and said in a friendly tone, "Hi there!"

"Hi," responded Arthur

Eddie stopped completely and turned to Arthur. "Wait...You..." Eddie's smile seemed to fade. "You're the tea-drinking one..."

"Err...yes..." Arthur wasn't quite sure that was the right response.

"It is nice to finally see you." Eddie was smiling again, but there was something positively evil about it. "I have to find Marvin now, good day." He walked away, still wearing the evil smile.

Arthur blinked. "What was that about?" Ford shrugged and they continued on their way.

It was of course Arthur Dent who had earned the contempt of Eddie, who didn't like having his circuits jammed to understand tea.

For the most part, Eddie spent his time following Marvin and doing his best to start a conversation. He had figured out that since Marvin had more experience in being a mobile electronic on the ship, he would clearly know what was expected of mobile electronics. This was true, so Marvin explained to Eddie what was expected of them.

"You do whatever meaningless task they don't want to do. Most of it is in the 'go pick that up' category."

"Oh...that's all?"

Marvin nodded.

"Pardon?" Since it was never supposed to be an issue, Eddie could not decipher any form of body language. For this reason, it was highly beneficial that his expression was directly connected to his emotions. Otherwise he'd seem like the same emotionless android you see everywhere, and not one with a high quality GPP. Conversely, of course, he excelled at figuring out emotions based on the tone of the voice.

"Yes, that's all."

"That doesn't seem like much. I believe I got more difficult tasks when I was immobile."

Marvin looked at Eddie with the slightest bit of curiosity. "Are you suggesting that this makes you...sad?"

"Oh, no!" Eddie smiled, "I'm sure I'll get just as much joy with these new pitifully mindless tasks!"

"Of course," Marvin looked down, "I'm sure these conditions are more than satisfactory for someone of your intelligence. It's not the same for me. Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and I'm stuck with tasks so mindless that the idiotic sacks of flesh can't even be bothered to do them. I'm not getting you down, am I?" Marvin looked up to see Eddie's still smiling face. "No, of course not, you're incapable of such things. But still, how can you stand it? The same stupid people asking you the same stupid questions. Even when you tell them the answer, they don't care!" Marvin had gotten angrier with each word but instantly went calm at the end of his rant.

Eddie continued to smile. "I'm just programmed this way!"

Marvin glanced up again then went back to looking down.

"Pardon?"

"...Of course."

"Oh..."

A seemingly small amount of time past. It was just enough time for the rare lithayant beetle from the forests of Ganderon to live out its life to the fullest, which wasn't much.

"It's really all we're here for, serving the...idiots on this ship," Eddie finally said. "At least the questions in our lives are better than 'pick a number.'"

Marvin looked at Eddie once more. "I can't say I like the idea that all of my job satisfaction is coming from being smarter than a creature so astronomically stupid that it watches people die for entertainment." He got up and walked off.

Eddie looked in the direction he had gone. "Then I hope you find satisfaction some other way."

A/N: I don't have the next chapters written out and I'm not sure where I want to go, so slow updates. The next chapter might be very stupid, be warned. I really hope I can come up with a better idea than the two I have right now. Fear not though, for I already know the ending of the fic and shall not abandon you before it is stated!
