Broken Sleep
Lister, Cat and Rimmer were enjoying a rare chance to sleep for more than two hours at a time and in shifts when Kryten came bursting in with Nirvana under one arm and a dirty nappy under the other.
"Sirs! Come quick!" He cried, though only gaining groans, moans and a 'Coming mummy, just feeding the lemming!'
"Sirs, this really is quite urgent!" Kryten protested the re-usable nappy in the Haz-Mat container next to Lister's socks.
"Sure bud, we'll deal with it – Preferably in 5 hours with orange juice and pancakes." Cat suggested from under his covers.
"What is it that's so important Bog-Bot 5000?" Rimmer asked sarcastically asked as he rolled over.
"Yeah Krytes – Me and Kristine were enjoying a nice game of tennis!" Lister added, groaning sleepily as he sat up.
"Tonsil tennis more like." Rimmer muttered under his breath.
"Sirs please! We've picked up a ship on the scanners."
"Eh?"
"Do we know who?"
"At a guess I believe it is the Enlightenment, however at this range it is impossible to tell and could very easily be another Holoship... But the statistics say it's much more likely to be the Enlightenment than anything else." Kryten finally managed to say – Instantly getting Rimmer's full attention, though Cat and Lister just responded by groaning again.
"Great, just great! – Goal Post Head can go off with the cute Nirvana, while we get stuck with the drooling, crying one!" Cat moaned as he too stretched and sat up.
"Who says you don't get any breaks?" Lister scoffed as Rimmer grinned, stood up, and walked to the middle of the room as the familiar, and transfixing blue search light attracted him like a moth to a bug electrocution light.
Then Rimmer disappeared, leaving the others in complete silence…
