They were still walking through the corridors looking for Holly; but every screen they came to was broken.

Lister shivered, "Guys?"

"What?" Rimmer was still walking by his side. Lister was glad of his company even though he couldn't see him. There was something oddly comforting about his presence.

"Is it me," his eyes flickered around, as if trying to see what was happening, "or is it getting colder?"

"I haven't a clue."

There was a sudden beep as Kryten checked, "It does seem that the temperature is lowering sir."

"Hey -" The Cat sprung in, "I just got dejayvooey!"

"Do you mean déjà vu sir?"

"I know what I mean."

"Yes… this does seem a little familiar." Kryten kept walking, "Oh I remember now sir, it was those killer fish - they lower the temperature wherever they go."

"Ah." Said Rimmer, his pace quickening, "Well I suggest that we run then. Very fast."

"That seems like a good idea sir."

"RUN!"

Kryten grabbed Lister, flipping him over his shoulder. "I know you said you wanted to walk sir, but I really don't want us all to die."

Lister smiled. Ah well, his feet were hurting anyway.

…….

The fish could see them, running ahead like maniacs on steroids.

There was that Cat with them. The fish bristled. There was something about him that made their blood curdle. He was a menace and needed to be stopped.

The hologram, he seemed mean, but there was something else too. Friendship.

The mechanoid was just annoying; he seemed to give the others ideas. And was definitely the intelligent one of the group.

Then there was the human. He was injured, that was clear. He'd obviously not had the worst effects of the venom yet. Though it seemed he had already gone blind.

Here's a random but not quite random fact for you:

Ungotrillian Flopfish have very small consciences. However, if one happens to do many bad things, the consciences tend to get a tad annoyed, and have a bit of a shout.

The Chief Flopfish shifted uneasily; his conscience was finally having a nibble:

The human hasn't really done anything wrong. He needs medical attention!

Yeah, but who cares! He's in league with that cat.

But he's nice!

He must be bad if the assassin clawed at him.

But the assassin has been known to get a little too excited.

Ah to hell with you! The human is bad. He should die!

That's not right.

I don't care. Bog off.

The conscience sighed, there were so many other things to get through, and he could drop a few at least. Fine. Now onto the matter of you not eating you brussel sprouts last weekend. Mother wasn't happy about that.

Yes, but mother is dead now, so it doesn't really matter.

But only because you hit her to death with a saucepan.

Oh shut up.

…….

Lister was feeling incredibly sick. He tried to tell Kryten, but every time he opened his mouth he felt like he was going to puke. The steady rhythm of Kryten's running, along with his jerky movements, wasn't helping in the slightest.

He ended up groaning.

Rimmer was instantly alert, "What is it Lister?"

Lister shook his head, bringing a hand up to his mouth and closing his eyes. Not that it helped. If anything it made him feel worse.

"What? Do you feel ill?"

Lister finally managed to get some words out, "I'm gonna be sick."

And he was.

Not pretty.

Rimmer looked with disgust.

Kryten put him down for a moment, concerned, "Oh sir!

Lister was shaking, and breathing heavily. He wiped his mouth with a shaky hand; he could still taste the vile tang.

Rimmer knelt next to him, "Feel better now?"

He shook his head with a soft moan.

Cat sighed, already bored with the situation, "I'm hungry!"

Nobody said anything. They tended to ignore Cat. It was for the best.

"I'm hungry!" he said again louder, slumping against the wall, "Does anyone know where there are any fish?"
Rimmer rolled his eyes, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Hmm. Let me think for a second there. Could their possibly be some fish following us?"

"Yeah, I know that bud, I smelt them."

"Well why don't you do us all a favour and go back and eradicate them - If you get yourself killed in the process even better!"

"Naa, it's not worth it bud. They haven't got the right flavour."

"What?"

"I think I prefer salmon."

"You mean," Rimmer pointed out testily, "You put everyone's lives in danger for a load of killer fish that don't even taste nice? And you'd rather have eaten the fish that we already had on board?"
"Bud, you're making this sound like it's my fault."

"I really don't know how you sleep at night!"

"Neither do I! One look at your face is enough to give anyone nightmares."

The sound of fish flopping around echoed through the corridor. Ah bugger, they were catching up.

"Sir, I'll carry you again, we need to find Holly as quickly as possible."

Lister didn't reply. His eyes were only half open. Unseeing.

"Lister?"

His eyelids slid shut.

"The poison must be worse than we thought sirs." Kryten picked Lister up carefully, "We need help."
