Page "Marvin the Paranoid Android" Paragraph 10

A subsequent section of Marvin's biography occurs only in the Secondary Phase of the radio series.

Marvin rejoins the crew on the Heart of Gold, using the improbability drive programmed by Zaphod Beeblebrox the Fourth, takes them to the ravaged planet Brontitall.

Having landed in a giant floating marble copy of a plastic cup, the crew accidentally find themselves falling several miles through the air.

The carbon-based members of the crew manage to stay alive by grabbing onto passing giant birds.

Marvin has no such luck, and, upon impact with the ground, creates his own archaeological excavation site.

Cruelly intact, he grudgingly saves the crew multiple times from the Foot Soldiers of the Dolmansaxlil Shoe Corporation.

Marvin remains in Heart of Gold whilst Ford, Zaphod, Zarniwoop and Arthur bother the Ruler of the Universe, leaving when an enraged Arthur hijacks the ship.
