Chapter 1
Arnold J Rimmer was lying on his bunk, listening to a song. A song that seemed like so little, but to him, it was more powerful than anything. It told of someone wanted 'Someone to Watch Over Me' and it was his song. He had decided years ago that when he found the right girl, this would be their song. A tear came to Rimmer's eye. "Off!" He said, and while Holly obeyed, he strode out of the room, and went to his dream recorder. He wanted to check over a dream he'd had the other night.
It was a very strange dream. He dreamt that he was in a courtroom, and there was a girl standing in the dock. She was quite tall, with long brown hair, and un-nervingly pretty. This seemed perfectly normal. He had lots of dreams about people like this, but the un-normal part about the dream was that his alter ego, Ace Rimmer was standing giving evidence against her. He couldn't hear what was being said, but what Ace was saying was making streams of tears fall down the girls face. Rimmer wanted to stop the girl from crying, but when he tried to stand, something pulled him back down, as though he wasn't allowed to witness this. When he woke up, he had thought nothing of it, and went back to sleep.
