MEET THE GALACTIC HYPERSPACE PLANNING COUNCIL
“People of Earth, your attention please.
This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. As you will not doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyerspatial express route through your star system, and regrettably your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition.
The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.”
