Each character must decide if they are going to go down to the planet of Krikkit to fight or run away and let the Universe slowly be annihilated. Slartibartfast, seeing as it is his idea, has chosen to go down to fight. This is the appropriate decision for him because he has dragged Arthur and Ford all this way; if he did not fight now he would have wasted their time. Ford does not want to go down. He did not want to come at all. He will be going down though. He cannot abandon Slartibartfast and Arthur now. Arthur is going down. I suspect a small reason he is doing this is to impress a girl, Trillian. I also think he does not want to see the Universe exterminated. Trillian, Arthur's love interest, has also surprisingly decided to go down. I did not expect her to go. I do think it was a good choice, though. She is the only character with any common sense. She will keep the boys alive. Zaphod, not suprisingly, decided he was not going. Zaphod is a bit of coward and is much more interested in women and other rich things than saving the universe.
I would advise them that they made the correct decision in fighting to save the universe, regardless of the odds that they will win (which are most likely astronomical, I mean 4 people against a robot army?). They need positive thoughts. I would also advise them that there is probably a way to control the army and to shut them all off. An off switch perhaps. Maybe a computer that can be destroyed. Someone has to be controlling this army. This is like Star Wars and the clone army. I forget how they were destroyed but that information would probably be useful to our heroes at this stage in the book.
