Rimmer opened his eyes slowly. He didn't feel right. Kryten's blurry face was above him, he must be fixing his light bee. His mind was hazy… why was he lying here? Why did it feel so painful?

With a sudden jolt, he remembered what had happened. What he had done. A strange wad of feelings washed through him.

Concern.

Pride.

He had done the right thing. He had saved someone's life. He was a hero.

Saved someone's life. Had he? He looked around feebly; Lister was nowhere to be seen. Kryten wouldn't have left him on his own would he?

…….

The answer was no. Lister had been left with a very disgruntled Cat, who was only space-bum-sitting because Kryten had tied him very securely to a chair by Lister's bed.

They had found Kryten's body. Obviously. It was nestled amongst the fallen walls, so all Kryten had to do was pop his head back on. Surprisingly it wasn't in bad shape, which was good, because otherwise the story wouldn't work!

Cat grumbled to himself. He wanted to change. But in a way he supposed he was lucky. He'd found the hidden supply of hair mousse! In fact, a mound of bottles lay by his left side right now, he was damned if he was ever gonna let them out of his sight again!

A groan from Lister made him turn his head.

"Bud?"

Lister's eyes were open, but Cat wasn't sure he was actually awake. His eyes were strange and out of focus, the lids half closed.

Cat tried to shift round in his chair, but ended up falling over sideways with a heavy slap. "Urgghh…" he moaned. See, you try to see if someone's okay and you end up like this. Next time he wouldn't bother. This was a shame, because the next time Lister groaned he was awake.

…….

Rimmer felt a little better, and tried to sit up. "Kryten?"

"Sir, I advise that you don't move for a while, I've just finished fixing your light bee."

"To smeg with that, where's Lister?"

"Well… I left him with Mr Cat, he won't wake up sir. He's utterly exhausted and some of his injuries are just – oh!" he dabbed his eyes, "I'm sorry sir, it's just so damn awful!"

"That bad?"

"Worse! There are more of those pink GELF's roaming the ship, Holly's locked them in a room in B deck."

Rimmer frowned, "That doesn't sound so bad,"
"Yes, but you're forgetting they've got Holly's teleporter with them, it's only a matter of time before they realise and beam themselves here and take over the ship and suck Mr Lister dry-" the rest of his sentence was drowned out by his melodramatic blubbing and weeping.

"Oh…" said Rimmer, "that does sounds bad."

Kryten howled, "I know!"

"Why do they want red dwarf anyway?"

Between sobs Kryten said: "I'm assuming it was for - for the holograms sir. That way they have enough energy to last for a long time."

Rimmer looked disgusted, "So they zap hologram after hologram? Just load them, wipe out their energy and load the next one up? That's so evil!"

"Yeah, they could've just taken you and scarpered - then we'd all be grateful!" Rimmer and Kryten wheeled around to say Cat standing in the doorway, looking very stylish in yet another new suit.

"Cat?"

"How did you get here sir? I thought I tied you very securely to a chair!"

Cat flashed a flashy grin at Kryten, "Yeah, but you're forgetting I have claws. I forgot for a while, but then I remembered!" he noticed Rimmer, "Hey buddy!"

"Why are you here sir? Why aren't you space-bum-sitting Mr Lister?"

"Oh yeah! Right - I just came over to say that chipmunk cheeks is awake, and he ain't feeling too good!"
