Mucho Gracias to boogle, Zombie Kitty, and shaun. It's so great that you guys read my story. Okay, here is the next chapter for you!


Holly

"Did you sew Lister's stomach back up?" asked Rimmer worriedly, pacing around the cell that Enala had put the crew of Red Dwarf in.

"Yes sir," replied Kryten who had fixed his voice wire as soon as possible. Now his guilt chip was in override and he kept healing Lister and Cat, though they needed it no more.

"What about my leg?" asked Rimmer, motioning towards his thigh which was bleeding quite a bit.

"As I said before sir, your leg is not really hurt. You are a hologram, and even in your hard-light form, holograms cannot bleed. You are imagining your pain," said Kryten matter-of-factly.

"Oh. Then why does my leg hurt so much?"

"Because, sir, you imagined it hurting."

"So, Mr. Know-it-All Mechanoid, if I stop thinking that it's hurting, then it won't hurt?" Rimmer asked.

"If mechanoids could sigh, I would be doing it right now. YES, Rimmer."

"My leg does not hurt. My leg does not hurt. My leg does not hurt," Rimmer chanted. "Hey, my leg doesn't hurt!"

"Very good sir. Now kindly shut up so I can continue healing Mr. Lister," said Kryten.

"As I said before Kryters, Lister is not really hurt. He is a wacked out smeghead, and even in his human form, he cannot be hurt. You are imagining his pain," mocked Rimmer.

"You're a smee. You're a smeeee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"I'm a what?" asked Rimmer, nonplused.

"A smmmeeeee heeeeeeee. Complete and totally. You want Mr. Lister to die. You're so insensitive," he went back to mending Lister's already healed leg.

"Come in Dave, Dave, are you there?" called a familiar voice.

"Holly?" questioned Rimmer.

"Dave? Rimmer? Kryten? Cat? Is anybody there? Is anybody even listening to me?"

"It is Holly!" cried Rimmer. He picked up Lister's arms, locating the watch on his wrist. "Holly! It's Rimmer! Have you come to save us?"

"I should have knocked him out a window when I could," breathed Holly, under her breath. "Hello Arnold. No, I've not come to save you. I've come to tell you that I found Red Dwarf! Now all you've got to do is get out of there!"

Kryten dropped what he was doing and elbowed Rimmer out of the way. "Holly. It's Kryten, –

"I figured that."

"– Yes. Can you tell me where you have positioned Red Dwarf?"

"Yea. She's right above the planet that you all got lost on," said Holly.

"We have no way to get off this planet," interjected Rimmer.

"Well you'll have to find a way won't you?" she said, getting aggravated.

"I'd better go. I don't want to lose her again!" said Holly, quickly signing off.

"Let's find a way out of here," said Rimmer, dragging Lister to the door.

"Going somewhere?" asked a guard making her rounds.
