While the group the Krikkit ship pursues, Arthur is taken to a dark cave. Here he meets a being who calls himself Agrajag. He claims to have been killed by Arthur hundreds of times in various reincarnations, as a fly that is flattened by Arthur. Its current form is that of a monstrous bat, with which he now wants to destroy Arthur. When Agrajag the many times he tells Arthur that killed him has also mention about a time Arthur apparently just escaped an attempt on his life in a place called Stavromula Beta. Arthur is surprised as he visited this place has never, on which Arthur Agrajag realizes he too early to the cave has been met (in his own time), and that this attack should take place yet. Arthur cannot be killed before this event took place. When he again tries Agrajag is accidentally killed by Arthur. Arthur can escape from the cave. He ended up on a celebration that continues uninterrupted for four generations. There he meets Ford and Slartibartfast again, and to his surprise also Trillian. She travels with them further.

The Group resumed the pursuit on the Krikkiters. That go in the meantime by collecting the parts of the key. Marvin the paranoid Android as kidnap them to one of his legs to use as components, and to force it to operate their main computer. They also raided Zaphod Beeblebrox in the Hearth of Gold, and steal the heart of the infinite-onwaarschijnlijkheids drive.

The group cannot avoid the Krikkit create the key. The envelope is opened, but when the Krikkiters come out shows that they have all those centuries of imprisonment in their bloodlust, lost. They have found that the dust cloud around their planet consisted of the remnants of a supercomputer Hactar, built by the Silastic Armorfiends called. Hactar had the task to make a coat of arms that every Sun in the universe could ring simultaneously on Supernova. Hactar did not want such a weapon, so he programmed a small error in the weapon. When the came here, they blew up behind Armorfiends Hactar was designed so that each on. Because Hactar molecule contained a part of his consciousness, he could continue to operate. After the Armorfiends were gone and the Krikkiters, Hactar had taken their place went further with its original task. He took care of the arrival of the ship that gave the Krikkiters their xenophobia . The Slo-Time envelope Hactars influence, however, blocked, allowing the Krikkiters were themselves again.

Now the universe apparently saved, Ford, Arthur and Slartibartfast bring The Ashes back to Earth. Arthur would like to take the opportunity to save on a ball once to Lord's Cricket Ground. Just like he wants to save, he discovers that Hactar. the batter where he plays against, a krikkit robot is, and the ball the weapon designed by Hactar. Arthur realizes this just in time and saves the ball does not. Instead, he destroys the robot.
