Chapter 7

Fit the Seventh starts with a receptionist talking on the phone and it seems like the setting is at the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy office. However, then it suddenly jumps to the spaceship where Arc One, the Captain and Zaphod are in, waiting to land on Ursa Minor Beta. The mood changes when Zaphod listens to the radio and hears a report that he was died, by being eaten by a Haggunenon. However, Zaphod doesn’t know why he was been eaten and he is very confused because he thinks that he is still alive.
At the same time, Arthur and Ford are on Earth trying to escape back to the galaxy. Finally, they see a spaceship and they start celebrating their rescue but then the spaceship vanishes. The two them decide that they have to figure a way out of this and look up the word "towel" in The Guide to the Galaxy Book. (I am not sure what the end result is with the word "towel")
Then the chapter jumps back to the spaceship and Zaphod, who believes that he got a message the night before telling him to meet up with Zarniwoop so that he can learn something to his disadvantage. (We also find out how Zaphod escapes the Haggunenon). When the spaceship finally lands on Ursa Minor Beta, Zaphod is directed to the office of Zarniwoop where he also meets Marvin. When Marvin and Zaphod are in the lift going to the office, the planet suddenly gets bombarded. After that shock, Zaphod is "attacked" by a Frogstar Robot, but Marvin saves the situation at last. The scene ends with the whole planet being taken away to Frogstar.
