Ford Prefect: (leaning back casually in a chair, towel draped over his shoulder) "Well, you see, Janaxia, this G'largh Stone thing, it's not your typical rock. It's like... the difference between a wet Wednesday afternoon and the Big Bang. Quite a lot, I'd say."

Janaxia: (flourishing her hands dramatically) "Ford, darling, you're making it sound as drab as a Vogon poetry reading. This G'largh Stone, it could light up our lives! Or... (pauses dramatically) blow us into a billion bits. A tantalizing chance, wouldn't you agree?"

Ford Prefect: "As tantalizing as an angry Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, perhaps. But look, there's a more pressing matter. Arthur. We need his... (pauses, thinking) unique perspective."

Janaxia: (laughs heartily) "Oh, the confused Earthman? But he's been on ice longer than my favorite bottle of Zaphod's Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster!"

Ford Prefect: "Exactly. He has this knack for cutting through the bizarre with his... utter mundanity. He's like the one-man-band in a galaxy symphony. Annoying but somehow necessary."

Janaxia: (leans in, intrigued) "Intriguing, darling. This Earthman... maybe his particular flavor of confusion is what we need to decipher the G'largh Stone's power. Now, where did we leave that tea-obsessed biped?"

Ford Prefect: (leans back and shouts towards a corner of the ship) "Marvin! Get in here, will you? And bring your, uh, cheery disposition."

Marvin: (enters slowly, his voice monotonous) "Oh, joy. Another thrilling adventure. And here I thought I could wallow in my usual existential crisis."

Janaxia: (clapping her hands together) "Marvin, my metallic melancholy friend! We have a task that I'm certain will add to your endless list of grievances."

Marvin: (sighs deeply) "How incredibly fortunate I am."

Ford Prefect: "It's Arthur, Marvin. He's in stasis. And given the, uh, unorthodox way we had to retrieve him..."

Janaxia: (laughs brightly) "Unorthodox is a mild way to put it, Ford darling. We found him frozen in a block of ice, orbiting around the Flarganthian gas giant! How he ended up there is a mystery even to the Guide's researchers."

Marvin: (deadpan) "Oh, joy. Unfreezing the always-baffled human. Can't imagine a more thrilling way to spend my infinite lifespan."

Ford Prefect: "We're glad you're on board, Marvin. Now, we just need to figure out how to thaw him without turning him into a human popsicle."

Marvin: "Mmm. That would be tragic." (Sighs) "I suppose I'll start by calculating the thermal dynamics of the stasis chamber. Don't expect quick results."

Janaxia: (grinning) "Oh, Marvin. We expect nothing more than your usual, delightful self."

Marvin: (looking surprised) "Well, that was...unexpectedly quick. How incredibly exciting."

Arthur: (wakes up, disoriented) "Wha...where am I? The last thing I remember, I was... Wait, is that tea I smell?"

Ford Prefect: (grinning) "Welcome back to the land of the living, Arthur. Or rather, the spaceship of the living. You've been on ice for a century."

Arthur: (blinks, then sighs) "I suppose that explains the terrible chill. And why am I not surprised you're involved, Ford?"
