??? [Special, Fourth Wall]

[By now, the filter of new people has ceased to be surprising, and Adell has decided not to let them get in his way of his usual activities.  So he'll be out getting some shopping for the holidays done, in addition to his normal patrols and training

[If he attracts freaks, then here comes a big one. Rimmer pauses, then waves his right hand in the air in a circular motion before ending it with a brisk salute.]

Who is the commander of this settlement? I demand to speak to them at once.

I had to.

[Pay no attention to the toaster just. Lurking in the background. Looking decidedly like it could become chirpy at you annnny minute.]

[vulcanblazer]

[...Ooooookay, just what he needs. Another pain in the ass.]

...And who wants to know?

[mr_gazpacho]

Second Technicia... Er... Acting CAPTAIN Arnold J. Rimmer, sir. Does this establishment have leaders?

[vulcanblazer]

So you're saying you're an acting captain because there's no one around to correct you.

[Yeah, he's on to you.]

And it depends which leaders you're looking for. Defense organizations, or are you looking for the guys who brought you here in the first place?

[mr_gazpacho]

No, that's not it at all! [Except that it so is.] I mean, I'm the highest-ranking member on the ship I've been commanding, so naturally I've become the captain.

Anyway, I'd prefer to speak with whoever is the most in charge, doesn't this place have high ranking officials of some sort? The ones who brought us here?

OMG HELL YES. XD

[mr_gazpacho]

Haven't we recycled you by now?

:3

[toasterciiide]

That's a bit rude, isn't it? I'm only doing my job.

<3

[mr_gazpacho]

Yes, right, and you're about to ask me if I want some bread product, aren't you? As if that will solve everything! Absolutely useless. No brains whatsoever...

[Which brings him to one conclusion naturally.]

...Would you like a promotion to a rank above Lister once we're back on Red Dwarf?

[toasterciiide]

I resent the implication that I'm a one-dimensional, bread-obsessed electrical--

...

A rank above, you say?

[mr_gazpacho]

Absolutely! With all the prestige and honor that entails.

[None whatsoever.]

[toasterciiide]

That sounds a rather interesting proposition. I just have one question, however.

[mr_gazpacho]

Yes, and what would that be?

[toasterciiide]

Would you like any toast?

[mr_gazpacho]

[And he realizes only too late that he walked right into that. SMEEEEEEEG.]
