After the lift doors had clanged shut, behind them, Lister noticed Kryten,
pressing the button, for the Officer's Quarters. He was quite surprised,
and
he said, to Kryten: "The Officer's quarters?". "Yes sir, of course sir,
where else sir?".
Lister merely nodded. He didn't make any comment, to Kryten, where this
was
concerned. He had to remember, that he was no longer, in the Medi-game,
and that, his quarters, on the Dwarf, were the old Officer's quarters, as
apposed,
to the old grey bunkroom (Lister and Rimmer's original quarters), and the
Prison Cell room, on Floor 13... If Floor 13, had ever existed, that
is...?!
In time however, Lister would eventually discover, that Floor 13, really
did, indeed, exist...
But the circumstances, that he and the Dwarfer's would find themselves in,
when they eventually re-discovered, Floor 13, would be very different,
indeed, to the circumstances, that the Boyz from the Dwarf, had been in,
on
Floor 13, in the medi-game. Very different indeed... But it would be a
very
long
time, before the Boyz from the Dwarf, re-encountered, Floor 13, again. A
very
long time, indeed, when all was said and done...!
Even though, he was very tired, Lister was looking forward, to seeing the
old Sleeping quarters, once again. Perhaps, he would feel a lot better,
once
he got himself re-acquainted, where that was concerned, all over again. Or
so, he thought, anyway...
Once the lift doors had finally pinged open, Lister and Kryten, gently
manoeuvred, Rimmer's: Javanese camphor-wood chest, into the corridor,
which led, to the old Sleeping quarters. As the trunk, was very heavy to
lift,
into position, into the corridor, via the lift, and as Lister had got to
concentrate,
on the job, in hand, he did not immediately notice, the devastation, in
the
corridor, that, awaited him, and Kryten...
And once, he and Kryten, had taken a breather, for a minute or two, Lister
nearly had a heart attack, the moment, that he noticed the devastation, in
the
corridor, in question...!
With regard to the corridor, which led, to the Cat's quarters, it was a
very
high-tech futuristicky, state of the art, kind of silvery looking
corridor,
which had only attracted, a minimum layer of dust, just like his (the
Cat's)
quarters, which had been aimed, at the crème de la crème of the Red Dwarf
personnel, over three million and four hundred and six years ago, like
Mr Ackerman, for example... But whether, there was another version of
Mr Ackerman, in the present reality, for the Dwarfer's, to come across, it
remained to be seen...?!
And the standard Officer's quarters corridor, didn't come equipped, with a
flashy silver roof, which led to the Cat's quarters. It was just basic
standard,
roof latching, which had now fallen out, and it was now rotting, quite
badly,
and there were pools of water, on the corridor floor, along, with the
rats.
And there was one rat, in question, who was proudly, leading, his fellow
Brother rats, in a procession, which could be compared to the Pied Piper
of Hamelin...!
But Lister didn't want to show how disappointed, he was, in front of
Kryten,
and he did his level best, to put on a brave face, where this was
concerned,
as they slowly, but surely, made their way, to his old Sleeping quarters.
But that said, there was still something, that was concerning Lister.
Something,
that he just couldn't quite put his finger on, no matter how hard he
tried...
And by the time, they had finally placed, very carefully, Rimmer's
camphor-wood chest, on to the floor, of the Sleeping quarters, Lister's
spirits, had sunk, very low, indeed, after he had cast his eyes, over, at
the
general state of the place...
The ships electricity, and heating systems, had been fully restored, by
Holly.
And the screen, on the wall of the Sleeping quarters, no longer, had the
Goldfish, merrily swimming away.... And on the filthy screen, was the
standard
speed counter, with the bright purple and green flashes, on it. The speed
counter,
was there, quite obviously, to indicate, the mileage/kilometres, that the
Dwarfer's, had covered, over the past three million, and four hundred and
six years. And now, that the Dwarf, wasn't in the process of moving, and
as
the counter, wasn't moving, at the moment, Lister's bleary eyes,
discovered,
that the counter status, now read: Ten hundred trillion and four hundred
and
six.
But that wasn't the problem, the computerised image of the Goldfish, could
be restored, in a matter of nanoseconds, if he wanted to, that is! It was
the
considerable amount of dust, that was the problem, that covered
everything,
even the bedclothes! And there were some rats, that were on the table,
still
picking, at the remains, of a curry, on a plate, that Lister had eaten,
four
hundred years and six years ago, which was still encrusted, on to the
plate!
With a single wafture of his hand, Kryten flicked the rats, off the table,
because,
as he was a Mechanoid, he was immune to diseases, such as the plague, and
as his towering robotic presence, seemed, to scare, the life out of them,
they
soon scurried away, very quickly, indeed!
And the state of Lennon and McCartney's filthy fishtank, hit Lister very
badly,
indeed. There was no longer any movement, from his robotic Goldfish,
because,
their batteries, had quite obviously packed up, four hundred and six years
ago...
And, as for his favourite guitar... A genuine Les Paul copy, which was
absolutely saturated, with dust, was utterly soul destroying, as far, as
Lister
was concerned...
And this time, Lister could no longer hide his disappointment, in front of
Kryten.
But Kryten did his level best, to reassure him, and he stated: "As far as
I
can see, at this present juncture, in time, there is no damage to the
roof,
in your Sleeping quarters, like there is in the roof, in the corridor,
outside,
sir. It definitely, looks, like, the water supply pipes, have corroded,
but
that can easily, be rectified. I will get the Skutters, on to all
necessary
repairs,
tomorrow morning, where that is concerned, sir, and any other necessary
repair jobs, in the corridor. And the same goes, for Mr Cat's Sleeping
quarters,
and the corridor, leading to his Sleeping quarters. And I will clean your
Sleeping
quarters, as soon, as it is possible, for me, to do so sir". Lister
nodded,
he was
extremely grateful for Kryten's reassurance,
where this was concerned, and he stated: "And, I will do my best, to clean
up, as much, as it is possible, for me, to do so, Kryten man". "I am under
orders, to clean up, Mr Cat's Sleeping quarters, before I can get on to
your
quarters..." His voice, suddenly trailed off. This didn't surprise Lister,
all that much. The Cat, was an utterly selfish creature, and his needs,
would
always come, before, everybody else's, needs. That was the way, that it
was,
with him, and always, would be, for as long, as he lived, God help his
fellow
Dwarfer's, and any other poor devils, who had the pleasure, of making his
acquaintance! "Well you would be, wouldn't you! Don't worry yourself,
Kryten
man. You can sort out some old rags, for me, from your cleaning supplies
cupboard, and hopefully, that should get rid of the worst of the dust"
said
Lister,
doing his level best, to reassure, Kryten though he didn't sound, very
hopeful,
where that was concerned. And he had a feeling, that the cleaning rags,
would only shift, a layer of the dust, where Rimmer and Lister's Sleeping
quarters, were concerned, and that, it would take, an army of cleaners (or
the Skutters, if your average, everyday, Red Dwarf fan, would prefer! -
Marie Birch), to get their quarters, back to
normal, once again! Kryten stated: "I will sort out, some cleaning rags,
for
you, first thing,
tomorrow morning, sir". "Thanks Kryten, well you'd better get back to your
quarters, and
get some downtime, before we face Holly, tomorrow morning" said Lister.
"But what about your trunk, sir?" Kryten asked him. Lister's face dropped,
as he suddenly, realised, that he had totally forgotten, all about,
bringing
back,
his own trunk, back, to the Sleeping quarters.
And by rights, he should have remembered, especially, as he had gone over,
all of it's contents, just before, they had boarded, the Dwarf. And, it
was
getting
very late, by now,
and he wasn't, all that anxious, to unpack, his trunk, at that very
moment,
especially, as it contained, some very
painful memories, where Krissie, was concerned. And he decided, that he
would do his level best, to persuade, Kryten, not to retrieve his trunk,
from Starbug,
until tomorrow afternoon, at the very least, anyhow! Lister stated:
"Forget
it, Kryten
man. You can sort it out, tomorrow afternoon, for me. You desperately need
to
downtime, before Holly, is ready to see us, tomorrow
morning. And that is an order!". Unfortunately however, Kryten's plans
were
not, to
be thwarted, however...
"But Mr Lister, sir, Holly has insisted, that the cargo bay doors, are to
be
locked,
and security overridden, before we set off, tomorrow morning..." Kryten
insisted. Lister
sighed, as he glanced, at his watch, it was now 4.00a.m, and Holly, had
wanted to see
them, in the Science Room, at 8.00a.m, before breakfast, and Lister, had
been hoping,
to get about eight hours, worth of sleep, at the very least! Lister had
guessed, quite correctly,
that Holly, would demand, that the cargo bay doors, be
security overridden, once they had all sorted out, their belongings and he
felt, that it was probably, for
the best, if he didn't argue with Kryten. And even though, he had no
intention,
of unpacking his trunk, at that very moment, he didn't fancy, having his
favourite
possessions, being inaccessible, to him, for quite, some considerable
time,
to say
the very least! And he felt, that it was probably, for the best, if he
went
along,
with Kryten, to the cargo bay, and retrieved his trunk. And it would be,
for
the
very last time, that they would be going down there, that evening, and
what
had
they got to lose? It would only take them, another twenty minutes, or so.
Or
so,
Lister, thought, anyway...
"Alright Kryten. Let's go and get it sorted out then, before Holly, locks
us
out, of the cargo bay, for once and for all" Lister finally replied. And,
with that, Lister and Kryten, left the Sleeping quarters, and made their
way back, into the corridor, to the lift, which would take them back, to
the cargo bay, once again...
Unfortunately however, when Lister and Kryten, arrived, in the corridor,
which led into the cargo bay area, again, they did not receive, a very
nice
welcome, via Holly's image, on the monitor, which was situated, on a side
wall, on the right hand side entrance, of the cargo bay area. She was
looking,
very peeved, indeed, and she was wearing a white nightcap, which
was very similar, to the one, that the male Holly had worn (except, it had
a
genuine feminine air, about it, especially, as it was trimmed, with a lace
edge,
and it, had a very frothy and fluffy computerised air, about it), when
Lister
had, inadvertedly, woken him up, when he had asked him, to produce, a
triple fried egg with chilli and chutney sandwich for Rimmer, on his
Deathday.
And, that seemed, like a million years ago, now, after all this time...
Holly lashed out, at Lister and Kryten, in an instant: "Eya!! When are the
two of you, going to bed?! I want to put an override, on the entrance to
the cargo bay area, and I was hoping to offline, for the best part of
eight
hours, before I briefed you all, about our present situation, in the
Science
Room, tomorrow morning! I'll be lucky, if I can get three hours, offline,
after the way, that you lot, have mucked about, where unpacking your
stuff,
off Starbug, is concerned!".
By now, Lister, was also looking, very peeved, indeed, where unpacking
their stuff, off Starbug, was concerned, and he said, as much, to Holly,
though, he was doing, his level best, to control his temper, where this
was
concerned. "Holly, we're hardly likely, to go gallivanting off, into deep
space,
on Starbug, the very
moment, that we've arrived back, on the smegging ship! You could have
put in, the security override, on the entrance, to the cargo bay doors,
first
thing, tomorrow morning!" he said, in a very impatient manner. Holly
nodded
to this. It had suddenly struck her, and she said - "Oh Gawd, I didn't
think,
about that!". "Well, you never do, that's half your smegging trouble!
Look,
just give me and Kryten, another fifteen minutes, to get me trunk, and
then,
you can override the entrance, to the entrance of the cargo bay, for the
rest of smegging eternity, for all, that I care!" said Lister. Holly knew,
that
she had got, no choice, but to agree, with him, especially, as Lister, was
doing, his level best, to be reasonable, in the circumstances! And, she
was
also concerned, about Lister's, general attitude, as well, which just
wasn't
like him,
when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day! But she made no
comment, where that was concerned, and she was more, than determined,
to get to the bottom, of it, in time, and find out, just exactly, what was
making him, so exceptionally miserable, into the bargain! But she guessed,
quite correctly, that the very long delay, where unpacking, their
belongings,
from Starbug, wasn't exactly, helping matters, either!
And, Holly felt, that it was probably, for the best, if she did
everything,
in her
power, by giving Lister and Kryten, the extra time, that they needed,
where
retrieving, his trunk, from Starbug, was concerned, for the time being,
anyhow!
And Kryten stated: "I will have to make sure, that the boarding stairs,
leading, to Starbug, are back in place, and that all, of the entrances,
are
security overridden, Holly. It shouldn't take all that long, to retrieve,
Mr
Lister's trunk". Holly sighed, and said - "Alright, you've got your extra
fifteen minutes, Kryten. But don't take, all night, over it!". "Don't
worry,
we won't" said Lister, as he trudged begrudgingly, behind Kryten, to where
Starbug, was situated, in the cargo bay area.
Fortunately however, it didn't take very long, for them, to retrieve,
Lister's
trunk, in the Sleeping quarters, on Starbug. And, as it was a fairly
lightweight
trunk, compared to Rimmer's Javanese camphor-wood chest, it only took
them, the best part of five minutes, before, they finally reached the door
of
Starbug's entrance. Just another ten minutes, left to go, Lister thought.
It was a much slower process, where offloading, the trunk, in question,
was concerned, down Starbug's boarding stairs, was concerned, which took
Lister and Kryten, the best part of another ten minutes. And, it also
took,
Kryten, the best part, of another five minutes, to seal all of the doors,
of
Starbug, and for the boarding stairs, to slide back, into it's
compartment.
After Kryten, put in the security override, where Starbug's doors, were
concerned, he smiled, and stated quite cheerfully: "That's it, Mr Lister,
sir.
We can leave the cargo bay, area, now".
Lister was vastly relieved, that Starbug, was inaccessible, to them, for
the
time
being, and he felt, a little bit sad, because, he felt, that it was going
to
be, a
fairly long time, before they set off, in search of new adventures, and
brave new
worlds, once again, or so he thought...
However, little was Dave Lister, to know, that the next time, that he and
his
fellow Dwarfer's, were to set off, in search of a new adventure, on
Starbug,
it would change, the very course of his life, and theirs, forever...
But it was still very early days, where that was concerned, for the time
being,
anyhow. And it was no time, for nostalgia, especially, as Lister, was more
concerned, about him and Kryten, getting the hell out of the cargo bay,
with
his own trunk, because, they did not want, to put Holly out, any further.
She had been more, than generous, with granting them, the extra time, that
they needed, where sorting out, all of their belongings, were concerned,
as
it
was, and not to mention, been left on her own, in deep space, for the best
part, of four hundred smegging years! And having to maintain, all
necessary
systems, on the ship, without any company, for all that length of time,
had
probably sent her doolally, all
over again! Which was the last thing, that they needed, at this present
time!
And Lister and
Kryten, thought, that it was probably, for the best, if they did
everything,
in
their power, to pacify her and humour her, for the time being, anyhow!
And, it took them, the best part of another five minutes, before, they
finally reached, the outer part of the entrance, to the cargo bay doors.
Fortunately however, Holly, didn't complain, about them, taking an extra
five minutes, to retrieve Lister's trunk, especially, as they had done,
their
level
best, to retrieve it, as quickly, as it was possible, for them, to do so,
in
the circumstances!
But she did remonstrate, with them, a little bit - "About time! Alright
then!
I
am closing, the cargo bay doors, now! And I am putting in a security
override.
This area of the ship, is inaccessible to you all, until I say, otherwise!
Unless, it
is absolutely necessary, that is!". Lister and Kryten, didn't argue with
her.
In fact, Lister, would have beeen, more than happy, not to have had
access,
to the cargo bay area, of the Dwarf, for as long, as he had to!
It had been more trouble, than it was worth, where travelling on Starbug,
was concerned, lately, after all, that they had to put up with,
especially,
after all, he had been through, where the medi-game, was concerned! In
fact, as far, as Lister, was
concerned, he would be glad, to see, the back of Starbug, for the rest, of
his life!
Kryten stated, very briefly to Holly: "I will have to have access, to the
cargo bay area,
in time, because, I will have to go through, all necessary cleaning
routines, on Starbug, and I will also have to sort out, an updated
supplies
inventory, and there will be some, major routine maintenance checks and
repairs, which I will have sort out. And
there will also be some, minor routine maintenance checks and repairs,
which
I will have to delegate, to the Skutters, in time. But there is no
immediate
rush, for
that, at the moment, Holly". Kryten, was
doing, his level best, to pacify Holly, where that was concerned, because
she
was looking,
very peeved, indeed, where Kryten's suggestion, for all necessary cleaning
routines, routine
maintenance checks and repairs, and the updated supplies inventory, on
Starbug, was concerned. But when it actually came down to it, at the end
of
the day, she knew, that she
had got no choice, but to co-operate, where that was concerned, in good
time, especially, as she related to
Kryten, via computerised orders. And she said - "Very well, Kryten, I will
raise the matter,
with you, again, where all necessary cleaning routines, routine
maintenance checks and repairs,
and the updated supplies inventory, on Starbug, is concerned, at a later
date, when it is convenient for us both". "Thank you, Holly" Kryten
answered
her.
And, without any further ado, Holly set up the process, where the security
override, of the cargo bay doors, was concerned. Lister, suddenly felt
very
unhappy, as the cargo bay doors clanged shut, just like the gates of doom,
because he had now, finally realised, that he, and his fellow Dwarfer's
would
be shut off, from the outside world, for the time being, if you could
call,
deep space, the outside world, that is...!
But for Lister, his travels, in deep space, with his fellow Dwarfers's, on
Starbug, was the nearest thing, that he could get, to the outside world,
but he would just have to accept, that his outside world, was cut off, to
him, for the time being, anyhow!
"Well, I'm going to offline, for the time being. I'll see you lot, in the
Science
Room, at 8.00a.m, after breakfast.Goodnight then". Lister gave Holly, a
brief
smile, and he stated: "Alright then.Goodnight Holly. And thanks, for
giving
me, and Kryten, the extra time, that we needed, in the cargo bay area, to
sort out my trunk. Sorry, if we put you out".
Holly gave Lister a brief smile and said - "Anytime Dave, Goodnight", and
with that, Holly's
image, suddenly fizzled out, on the monitor, Kryten stated: "Mr Lister",
we
must be getting along, now, sir. It's getting late". "You can say that,
again,
Kryten man!". Lister answered him,
as he glanced, at his watch, it was now 4.30a.m. And, just to clear things
up, with Holly, where
sorting out, his trunk, was concerned, and closing off, the cargo bay
area,
on the ship, had cost them, both, the best part of half an hour!
And with that, Lister and Kryten, picked up the trunk, between them, and
made their way, into the lift, which would take them back, in the
direction
of the Sleeping quarters.
And it was while, they were doing this, that it suddenly came to Lister,
the
niggling thing, that had been worrying him, earlier on, where Kryten, was
concerned. Kryten was running out of power! No wonder, his movements,
had been so slow, and jerky, ever since, they had arrived, back on the
Dwarf!
And, that would explain, why his legs, were making him look, even more
bandy
legged, than ever! He desperately needed to downtime, for the best part of
twelve hours! He could manage to downtime, for a couple of hours, before,
they had their briefing, with Holly, tomorrow morning. He could just about
manage, where that was concerned, but he would need, the best part, of
another ten hours of downtime, before, he could even consider, making a
start,
where cleaning up, the Cat's quarters, was concerned, and if that, put the
Cat
out, then it was just too bad! Lister
thought Lister realised, that Kryten, was beginning, to run out of power,
because
there was a
lot more, leg room, for him, to manoeuvre, about, on the Dwarf, than there
was, on
Starbug! In fact, now that Lister, thought about it, he suddenly cast his
mind back,
to the moment, when they had first arrived, back on the Dwarf, and Lister,
had
also noticed, the surprise, of far more, leg room, on the Dwarf, than
there
was,
on the bug!
And that same sense of surprise, where the amount of far more, leg room,
on
the Dwarf, was concerned, was now also, beginning to catch up, with
Kryten,
as well, as Lister! Well all of them, come to that! They had been away,
for
far
too long, when it actually,
came down to it, at the end of the day! And Kryten, had also got a
mini-recharging
unit, with the standard three pin adaption, on Starbug, as well, as the
maxi-recharging
unit, with the standard three pin adaption, on the Dwarf, in his quarters,
so there was
no problems,
there! And even though, he had definitely given himself, a re-charge, on
his
mini-recharging device, on Starbug, the night before, they had arrived,
back
on the Dwarf, it would have probably just been, for a couple of hours, or
so,
which was ideal,
where Starbug's, cramped living quarters space, was concerned. But it was
definitely, not ideal, for the vastness, of the Dwarf, when it actually,
came down
to it, at the end of the day! And, he would need, the best part of a full
twelve
hours, at the very least, where that was concerned, even though, a couple
of
hours,
of downtime, would just be enough, for him, to make the very quick jaunt,
from his quarters, to the lift, which would take him, down
to the Science Room, to consult, with Holly, in just under four hours
time.
That wouldn't be a problem, Lister thought, as they made their way into
the
lift, but he would have to persuade him, to go to his quarters,
immediately!
And Lister cursed the Cat, with his two hundred suit racks and twenty two
mirrors, which must have eventually caused, the decrease, in Kryten's
power!
Kryten seemed rather concerned, while he had noted, the very worried
expression, on Lister's face, after they had finally entered the lift,
after
he
had pressed the buttons, which would take them back, to the Sleeping
quarters. "Is there
something wrong, Mr Lister sir? You look rather worried, to say the very
least! Is something bothering you?", Lister smiled at his old friend and
he
said - Kryten, I'm very worried about you man. You need to downtime,
immediately, don't you? And don't pretend, that you've only just worked it
out, you've known full-well, that you've needed to downtime, from the very
moment, that you stepped back, onboard, the ship, haven't you?". Kryten
nodded sadly. He knew, full-well, that he couldn't lie to Mr Lister,
especially,
as he knew him so well, after all these years. "Yes sir. I knew, that my
power,
was gradually, diminishing, more or less right away. But you and Mr Cat,
also
desperately needed, to downtime, and your needs, were my immediate
priority.
And, I had got a duty, to unpack your belongings, so that Holly, could put
an override, on the entrance,
to the cargo bay". "We need to get you to your quarters, right away, man.
We can sort out my trunk, tomorrow morning" said Lister, in a very firm
voice, and he reached out, for the button, on the lift, that would take
Kryten,
down, to his quarters. "But Mr
Lister sir, we have reached, the floor, which leads, to your quarters"
Kryten stated, as the lift, ground to a halt. "It won't take five minutes,
to
place, the trunk, in your quarters". Lister
sighed, as he realised, that Kryten, was still very determined, to do his
duty, where his
Master's belongings, were concerned, to the very last! And, not only that,
he was far too weary, to argue, with him, by then, aside, from the fact,
that
he didn't, want to hurt his feelings, into the bargain, anyway. And even
though,
he didn't like, the way, that Kryten insisted, on doing his smegging
duties,
as if
it was a matter of life and death, Lister knew how much his duties, meant
to
him,
and he would never, ever, have knocked him, for it, in a million years!
And
he
was always, very respectful, to
him, where that was concerned, when it actually came down to it, at the
end of the day!
But that said, even though, sorting out the trunk, would only be a five
minute
job, as Kryten, had just suggested, Lister knew full-well, that five
minutes, was all, that it would
probably take, for him, to lose, all of his essential power systems,
knowing his luck! But he
knew, that he had got no choice, in the matter, but to take the risk,
where sorting out, his trunk,
was concerned, anyhow! So, he merely stated: "Alright Kryten, but the very
moment, that we place, that trunk, in my quarters, I will escort you, back
to your quarters, and I will make sure, that you are re-charged, for the
best
part, of two to three hours, before we are briefed by Holly, tomorrow
morning.
And that is an order! Do you understand?". Kryten knew, full-well, that he
had got no choice, but to obey his Master, especially, as he was
beginning,
to have real difficulty, in just generally basic leg and arm,
co-ordination
movements.
And, he didn't want to mention
it, to Mr Lister, but he had now reached the point, where he could barely
focus his eyes, on
a single object. And it was also becoming very hard, for him, to make,
even
the most simplest, of decisions. But while he still could, he didn't want
to
worry, Mr Lister. They had got a job to do, and as moving, the trunk, into
the Sleeping quarters,
meant, that he had got to crouch, it would conserve, his remaining battery
power, to a certain extent, and only a minimum amount, at that! And Kryten
guessed, that it would probably, drain him, of his remaining battery
power,
just to stand up, all over again! But
there was no way, that he was going, to make Mr Lister aware, of that
fact, and he could,
just about manage, to move the trunk, into the Sleeping quarters. And, he
merely nodded,
and he said - "Yes Mr Lister, sir". And with that, the lift doors opened,
and Lister and Kryten,
made their way, into the corridor, with the trunk, in question. And
Lister,
gave his watch, yet another brief glance, and he sighed. It was now
5.00a.m...
It was a very slow journey to the sleeping quarters, and Kryten, was even
more, bandy legged, than ever! Amd Lister, was very concerned, with
regard,
to Kryten's very slow progress, with his trunk, naturally, but he didn't
dare to
ask him, if he was alright, because he knew, that
Kryten, would insist, that he was perfectly alright, and that there was no
need, for him, to worry. And he was fully aware, from past experience,
that it
would be, a complete waste of time, even asking him, if he was alright,
and
that,
it would only hinder, their progress, even more, anyway. And, it was
probably, for
the best, if they rode the eye of the storm, for the time being, anyway,
and
just basically see, how it went from there, anyhow!
And even though, it was only a couple of minutes walk, from the lift, to
the
Sleeping quarters, because of the weight of the trunk, and Kryten's, very
insecure and jerky movements, it took them, the best part of twenty
minutes,
to enter the Sleeping quarters. But they made it, in the end, and even
though,
Lister, was breathless, after his trunk, had been placed on the floor,
alongside,
Rimmer's camphor-wood chest, he was vastly relieved, to say the very
least!
Unfortunately however, Kryten's general estimation, where his remaining
power
supply, was concerned, was pretty accurate, to say the very least! And,
it took him, quite some considerable effort, to straighten himself up,
from
the very crouched
posture, that he had had to get himself into, to move Lister's trunk, from
the lift, into the corridor, and finally, into the Sleeping quarters.
Lister
was
looking very concerned, especially, as it had taken, the poor droid, the
best part of five
minutes, to straighten up. Kryten had now taken on the equivalent posture,
of a man or a woman, who had suddenly pulled a muscle, in his or her back,
and he was finding it, next to nigh impossible, to make the effort to stay
upright,
let alone walk! And even worse, unbeknownst to Lister, Kryten suddenly
felt a terrible whirring, in his head. He had an idea, what that whirring
meant,
especially, as he had never, ever, had the experience of all of his
essential
power systems, dying on him, like this, until now, that is! He suddenly,
thought
back, to the times, that he had had, to go offline, whenever Mr Lister,
had
had
to repair him, in the past, especially, when he had crashed his space
bike,
into that asteroid, and he had had to totally reconstruct, his appearance,
which
had made him look totally unrecognisable, to what he was, when he had
first,
acquainted himself, with Mr Lister and his fellow Dwarfer's. And, not to
mention,
the time, when
Mr Rimmer, had insisted, on taking him, to that S3 planet, in question,
when
there had been a Moon quake, thanks to Mr Rimmer's subconscious, turning
against him, where he had got trapped, underneath some wreckage, which had
caused extensive damage, to his right eye, an arm, and his legs, which Mr
Lister, had had to cut off, very badly, with the welding equipment!
And, he had had to knock Kryten out, to get the job done, of course,
thanks, to his constant whingeing on, about his engineering capabilities!
Fortunately however, on Starbug, Lister had been able, to sort out, the
necessary,
repairs to his right eye, which had soon been retrieved, from Kryten's
left hand, which he had removed, which also, turned into a miniature
robotic
warning, emergency alert system, which had to interact, with a computer,
which would inform Lister and the Cat, that he was in big trouble!
Unfortunately however, Lister and the Cat, had thought, that Kryten's
hand,
which
also behaved, as a miniature robotic warning, emergency alert system, was
a
very
large Taranshula, or should I say, Tarantula?! And, even though, his legs,
had
been cut away, from him, via the welding equipment, so that Lister, was
able
to remove, his torso, from the wreckage, they were fairly easy, to
re-attach,
to Kryten's torso, especially, as Lister, had been very careful, when he
had
detached, Kryten's legs, from his torso, via the welding equipment, that
Lister
had used, earlier on, and as they were fairly intact, it was a fairly
straightforward
job, where re-attaching, his legs, to his torso (especially, as he was
like
action
man, in that department!), was concerned, when it actually came down to
it,
at
the end of the day!
Unfortunately however, Kryten's left arm however, had been mangled, beyond
repair. Fortunately however, Lister had managed to salvage, a spare left
arm, via
another, of Kryten's emergency spare parts kit, which he also kept, on
Starbug,
which had recently been salvaged, on a derelict, which they had
encountered,
a couple of weeks, before Rimmer had discovered, the S3 Planet, which he
had
foolishly, insisted on, exploring, taking along, with him, the poor
mechanoid,
which had ultimately, led to his downfall. And, it was only a matter of
time, before it would lead, ultimately, to Mr Rimmer's, downfall!
And, as there was a stick, protruding out, from Kryten's new left arm, and
it, was
just a matter, of twisting his left hand, on to it. And, as it was still
fairly intact, there
was no need, for him, to twist, a new spare left hand, on to his new left
arm,
anyhow!
And there was also the time, when Kryten, had had to shut down, all non
essential systems, so that he could create, a Dove programme, after the
navi-comp, on Starbug, had become infected by the Armageddon virus,
which had been created, in revenge, by the evil Simulant Captain, whose
ship, the Dwarfer's,
had attacked, in self-defence, especially, as the Simulant Captain, and
his
crew, had upgraded, the bug, via the drive interface, the engines, and
they
had also provided them, with laser cannons, just so they could provide,
the
Simulant Captain and his crew, with some entertainment, in a no win, no
lose,
Cat and Mouse game situation, which the Dwarfer's had refused, to agree
to,
and they had attacked, the Simulant ship, without, any warning! And, the
Simulant Captain,
had made them pay, very heavily, for that, via infecting, the navi-comp,
with the
Armageddon virus, and Kryten, had contracted, the virus, and in the end,
he had had to create a Dove programme, which had created a dream scenario,
in the form, of a Western, and his fellow Dwarfer's had had to go in, and
rescue him, and finally obliterate, the Armageddon virus, for once and for
all!
And, there was the time, that his spare heads, kept on blowing up, and
Lister, had had to keep on replacing them, because he had finally lost it,
when
his fellow Dwarfer's had entered: Pride and Prejudice World, via the AR
Suite,
on Starbug, especially, after Mr Lister, had asked him, for some ketchup,
with the Lobster, he had served them, all with, for his celebration dinner
(to celebrate, the day, that he had been rescued, from the Nova 5), hadn't
exactly, helped matters, either! But now, that Kryten thought about it,
the
time, that he had lost his spare heads, hadn't really happened, at all,
had
it?!
It had happened, in the medi-game, when Mr Rimmer, had pretended to be
Miss Kochanski, which had been done, to boost, Mr Lister's morale, which
had eventually, got him out, of the coma, that had occurred, after the
attack,
via their future selves, which seemed like, a million years, ago, now...!
Perhaps,
he was losing it, Kryten thought, if he was thinking, that the incident,
with him,
losing his spare heads, had really happened, after all! But it hadn't
happened,
or had it?!
And even more recently, there had been, the terrible incident, when Mr
Lister, had finally lost it, because, he had been very depressed, to say
the
very least, after he had discovered, that Mr Rimmer, had pretended, to be
Miss Kochanski, all along, which had been done, to boost, Mr Lister's
morale, which had eventually, got him out, of the coma, that had occurred,
after the attack, via their future selves, which seemed like, a million
years
ago, now...!
And, instead, of serving, his fellow Dwarfer's, with chilled margaritas,
to
celebrate, locating, Red Dwarf's, vapour trail, at long last, he had
inadvertedly, served them all, with urine recyc, which had all, caused
them,
to have foam moustaches! And, that had been the final straw, as far, as
Lister, was concerned, and in the end, he had lost his temper, and in
complete
and utter defiance, he had tipped the pitcher
of urine recyc, all over Kryten, which had caused him, to shutdown,
especially,
as the 4000 series, wasn't waterproof! Fortunately however, Mr Rimmer, had
been more, than considerate enough, where getting him back, online, was
concerned, and he had, also had the sense, to siphon, out, all of the
excess
water,
out of him, via the water filter, in his emergency first aid kit, which
had
got, to be
linked, by his groinal attachment, naturally! But Mr Rimmer, had saved his
bacon,
by filtering out, all of the excess water, just in the nick of time! And
eventually, all
of that, excess water, would have got into, his CPU, which would have
caused,
irreparable damage, and Kryten, would have ceased,
to exist, as a mechanoid, for once and for all! And, his CPU, was the
equivalent,
of a human's nervous system, and without, his CPU, Kryten, would
officially,
be
classified, as brain dead, unless, his CPU, was replaced, immediately! But
that, was highly unlikely, especially, when you are three million years,
into deep
space, and computer parts, are very hard, to obtain, via your nearest
qualified,
4000 series CPU Service Engineer! Seriously though, finding any old, 4000
series
CPU, was not a very easy task, to locate, on the kind of derelicts, that
the
Boyz
from the Dwarf, happened, to come across! Unfortunately however, Mr
Rimmer's
repairs, hadn't been sufficient enough, to say the very least, especially,
as he
kept on, referring to him, as a Smeghead, into the bargain! And, after
Lister, had
also lost his temper, with Mr Rimmer, which had also caused him, to punch
him,
very hard, into the bargain! Unfortunately however, he had landed him,
with
such a blow, that he had caused, extensive damage, to his light bee, which
had
caused his memory banks, to offline. And thanks, to the stress related
disorder,
before he had created, Rimmerworld, via escaping, from the pod, off the
disintegrating Simulant ship, it had also caused him, to have the
equivalent, of a
brain haemorrage.
And Kryten, had insisted, on transferring him, via his light bee, to the
Hologrammatic
Suite on Red Dwarf, for extensive repairs, to his light bee, which would
definitely, rectify, the problem, for once and for all! And Lister, had
felt
so
guilty, by what he
had done, that he had shaken himself, out of his depression, immediately!
And he had insisted, that Kryten, shut himself down, once again, so that,
he
could definitely, make sure, that he was repaired, properly, for once and
for
all! And, as it turned out, the repairs, to Kryten, were quite easily,
rectifiable,
when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day! As it turned out,
his
start up disc, was
slightly, out of alignment! That was all, it was! It was, as simple, as
all
that! And Kryten, was soon back, in full working order, within, the space
of
fifteen minutes! But that said,
Kryten, did not like, having to shut himself down, unless, he absolutely
had
to,
and the last few times, that he had had, to shut himself down, hadn't
been,
a very nice experience, for him, to say the very least! And, he shuddered
to
think, what it was, going to be like, to shut himself down, involuntarily,
all
over again! And, this time, it was going to be, through, his own
stupidity,
and
nobody else's, when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day!
Kryten was no longer sure, if anything, was really happening, to him, at
the
moment! But there was one thing, that he was definitely sure about, and
that, the whirring, he was feeling, in his head, was the mechanism, which
was
supporting, his part organic brain, was now, in the process, of actually,
shutting
down! He was fully
aware, about that part, of the shut down process, of course, because he
had studied, those essential details, in question, as part of
his core programme, which had covered, his recharging system, which he
would need, to be fully aware of, in an emergency situation, where that
was concerned, natuarally. But he had never, ever, had, the experience, of
been in an emergency situation, where his recharging system, was
concerned,
until now, that is...!
And the times, that I have mentioned here, when Kryten, had been forced,
to shut down, in the past, due to essential repairs, and the emergency
situations,
that he had been forced, to take part in, over the Millennia, were nothing
like this,
when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day! And, whenever,
that
had
happened to him, in the past, it was the equivalent, of just going, into a
very deep
sleep, and everything, had just gone black, until, he was back, online,
again.
But Kryten, had always been very lucky, where conserving, his remaining
battery power, in the past, was concerned. And, he had always been
fortunate enough, to get to his maxi-recharging device on the Dwarf, and
his
mini-recharging device, always, way in advance, on Starbug, and get, all
of
the necessary downtime, that he needed (and the closest, that he had ever
come, to losing, all of his remaining battery power, was,
when he had only got, four hours of remaining runtime, left, and that was
still,
one hell, of a lot, of remaining battery power, that was left, in his
recharging system, when it actually came down to it, at the end of the
day!
And even then, it had only
slowed him down, a little bit!), so that, he could come back online,
again,
to resume, his duties, again, until now, that is...!
Kryten was also feeling very dizzy, and he could barely focus his eyes, on
a
very concerned, Mr Lister's face, and he could just about make out Mr
Lister's
lips, when he asked him: "Are you alright Kryten man? Let me assist you".
Lister held his arm out, to offer his support, to Kryten, but stubborn to
the
very last, Kryten
insisted: "I-I-I'm p-p-erfect-ly al-right, M-m-mr Lister, s-sir. I-I'm
r-ready t-to m-make, m-my w-way,
b-back t-t-o-o my q-quarters, n-n-o-w, th-han-nk y-y-o-o-u-u". And, now
his voice unit, was beginning to pack up, into the bargain! But somehow,
Kryten managed, to extend, one foot forward, and drag his other foot,
behind
him, which
gave him, the appearance, of having an extremely bad limp, and his very
familiar,
amusing, bandy legged, appearance, had disappeared, for the time being!
But somehow, he managed, to
stay in front of Lister, who very slowly, and reluctantly, trudged, behind
him, into the corridor. Lister could have quite easily, gone out of the
Sleeping quarters, into
the corridor, which led to the lift, to offer him some guidance. But
again,
Lister
knew full-well, from past experience, that Kryten, was too proud, even for
that, and even though, he would not, have made any objections, where that
was concerned. After all, he was programmed, to obey. But that said,
Lister
felt,
that, Kryten had got every right, to insist, on leading the way, as per
usual.
And again, Lister had no intention, of hurting his old friends, feelings,
whatever
happened! And it was utterly soul destroying, for Lister to see his dear
old
friend, struggling, with just his basic, everyday movements, which he had
so
easily, taken
for granted, before, they had boarded the Dwarf, and Lister, was now
beginning,
to regret, their arrival, on the Dwarf. Why, nothing had gone right, for
them all,
since, the very moment, that they hade stepped back, on board!
Fortunately however, Lister had totally underestimated, the true extent,
of Kryten's, very limited battery power, owing to him, that had been
conserved, thanks to him, crouching down, when they had taken Lister's
trunk, from the lift, into the corridor, and the Sleeping
quarters. And, as it so happened, Kryten had got exactly, ten minutes of
remaining battery power, in his recharging system, left owing, to him! And
Lister felt, a little
bit more hopeful, as Kryten managed, to extend his arms and legs, with a
little bit more flexibility, than he had been able to, in the Sleeping
quarters,
which was to
their benefit. Unfortunately however Lister's hopes, were very
short-lived,
because, Kryten had only had, that little bit, more flexibility, where his
arms
and legs, basic, co-ordination,
was concerned, in the corridor, because there had been no furniture, in
the corridor, for him, to negotiate, his way around, like there was, in
the
Sleeping quarters, and it would only, enable him, to negotiate, about
another
ten yards, if he was lucky, that is!
Unfortunately however, just before they reached, the entrance to the lift,
Kryten suddenly slowed down to a halt. And Lister suddenly gasped, as
Kryten, began to lurch forwards, to the floor. And in a very slurred
voice,
Kryten said - "I- a-am e-ev-v-er s-so s-s-o-o-r-r-r-e-e t-t-o-o
in-nconv-e-e--n-i-i-en-c-ce y-y-o-o-u-u, M-m-r L-Li-s-s-t-t-e-e-r
s-si-r-r,
b-b-u-t-t I-I h-ha-v-v-e r-r-u-u-n o-u-u-t o-o-f p-power...".
And that, was Kryten's very last words, for the evening, because as his
battery power, had run out, it had also affected, his vocal mechanism
operating system, as well, as his motor operating system, which affected,
his
walking patterns. And with his arm stretched out, which he had intended,
to use, to open the lift doors, Kryten suddenly came crashing, in a
forwards
direction, down on to the floor, of the corridor.
After he had struggled to turn him over, there was no point, whatsoever,
in
Lister, asking Kryten, if he was alright, because he knew, full well, that
he
would not answer him, until he was fully recharged, once again. And his
eyelids, had suddenly closed tightly shut, which gave him, the appearance,
of
being asleep, as he no longer, had the necessary power, which enabled, his
optical operating system, to stay active, which kept his eyes, open.
And Lister knew, that he had got no choice, but to drag him along, to his
quarters, and get him on, to his maxi-recharging unit. And, the minimum
recharging time, that Kryten, so desperately needed, before Holly, was
ready, to brief them all, in the Science Room, at 8.00a.m, tomorrow
morning,
was two, to three hours, which would enable him, to perform basic
movements,
which would re-enable, his optical operating system, so that he could see,
again,
and more importantly, than that, would also re-enable him, to walk, the
very
short distance, from his quarters, to the lift, which would take him up,
to
the Science Room, so that he could communicate, with Holly. Lister looked
at
his watch, and sighed. They were running out of time. It was now 5.30a.m.
Unfortunately however, Lister had truly underestimated, how heavy Kryten
really was, and no matter how hard, he tried, he could barely drag him,
the
very short distance, that was absolutely necessary, to get him, into the
interior,
of the lift! He managed to drag the poor defeated droid, a couple of
inches,
at
a time, but the sweat, was absolutely pouring off him, and the effort of
dragging
him, was killing him! And, after he had dragged him, one more time, Lister
could
stand no more, and he finally collapsed, into a heap, on the floor of the
corridor,
and he suddenly, burst into tears. There was
no way, that he was going to be able, to get Kryten to his quarters! He
had gone, and let his old friend down, and all for the sake, of their
smegging belongings!
By now, Lister had had, just about more, than he could take! Ever since,
they
had all arrived back, on the Dwarf, things, were considerably worse, for
them all,
and not better! Rimmer was not around, for now, because, thanks to him,
losing his
temper, on Starbug, his light bee, was still being repaired, in the
Hologram
Simulation Suite!
The effort, of arriving on the Dwarf, had been far too much, for the Cat,
and he
was physically exhausted, and more selfish, than ever! Holly, now returned
to her female self, had become extremely hostile and rather short
tempered,
and Kryten, was now temporarily, out of action, thanks to the Cat's
selfishness,
by not doing his bit, where unpacking, his two hundred suit racks, and
twenty
two mirrors, were concerned! And, because Kryten, was so considerate and
caring, where sorting out, his fellow Dwarfer's belongings, was concerned,
it
hadn't occurred to him, to complain, that he was physically exhausted,
even
though, Lister, had more or less sensed, that there was something wrong
with him, when they had first arrived, back on the Dwarf, because, he had
been
so anxious, to get all of their belongings, back on to the Dwarf, as soon,
as
it was, possible, for him, to do so, because he had wanted to put the last
four hundred years, of the terrible consequences, of the medi-game behind
him,
especially, where his memories, of Kochanski, were concerned, and just
basically,
start, all over again. But
he knew, deep down, that he could never, ever, put something, as terrible,
as all that, behind him, and just basically, start, all over again, by
just
getting
back, to their everyday life, on the Dwarf, when it actually came down to
it,
at the end of the day! Oh God, Lister thought. What was going, to become
of them, all?! He wished he was back, on Starbug, and that he could
pretend,
that everything, was alright. But it wasn't, was it?!
And now, that the Dwarfer's have unpacked, the very last, of their
belongings,
from Starbug, at long last, and now, that we know, just exactly, what is
the
matter, with Kryten, at long last! He desperately needs, recharging!
And now that Kryten, has totally run out of power, and Lister, does not,
have the strength to get him, into the lift, which will take him, to his
quarters,
how will he find a way of getting the poor droid, into the lift, and back
to
his quarters, and make sure, that he gets the necessary two hours of
re-charging, that he so desperately needs, so that, Holly, can brief them,
about
their current situation, on the Dwarf, where their route, back to Earth,
is
concerned!
And just what exactly, what is the Boyz from the Dwarf's, current
situation, on the Dwarf, where their route, back to Earth, is concerned?
And worse even than that, just exactly how on Earth, is Lister, going to
face Rimmer, all over again, in the Science Room, tomorrow morning,
with barely any sleep, into the bargain?!
And will Lister, ever get a good nights sleep, and not come
to blows, with the Cat, before they set off, for Earth, once again?!

With regard to these reviews, they are incomplete, due to time
constraints, but they are available, for viewing or downloading,
via the appropriate websites, above, and they will always be,
permanently available, for this purpose. And when, they are
finished, it will be my intention, to notify, the various newsgroups,
to whom, they have been posted to, but I sincerely apologise, for any
delays, caused, by this, anyway! And my thanks, go to all, on
alt.comedy.british, who are interested, in my Barry Evans/Doctor series,
and Mind Your Language Website's, in the meantime. And, it is really
nice, to know, that there is more, than enough interest, to make it more,
than worth my while, to keep, those websites going, in the meantime,
thank you!
However, I am intending, to do brief plot summaries, of all of the Doctor
series episodes and Mind Your Language episodes, when, I next work,
on my Barry Evans/Doctor series and Mind Your Language websites, as
the reviews, that I am doing, of each episode, are very in-depth, indeed,
and they may, take up, a lot of webspace, in the meantime. And it is
probably, for the best, if I set up, episode Summary websites, in the
meantime, which will be, considerably shorter anyway, and for all fans, of
the Doctor series, and Mind Your Language series, then at the very least,
I have always, got something, that will give them, something, to keep them
going, for quite, a long time!
I will also, put up, a short independent notice, for this purpose, as
soon,
as it is possible, for me, to do so, anyway, especially, as I do get, a
lot
of
enquiries, via email, in general, via the Doctor series and Mind Your
Language
series, from all over, the world!

Comedy website, you may be interested, to know, that, there are also
links,
set up, for The Men From The Ministry Website and a Maid Marian And
Her Merry Men Website (but there isn't very much, on the Maid Marian
website, apart, from the series episode list, and we have got to set up, a
counter status, and a plot summary episode list website, and a picture of
Maid Marian and Her Merry Men, but at least there is now a website, for
the series, at long last!)
