It hadn't taken Arnold Rimmer long to come to the conclusion that the IPD's filing system was woefully inadequate. To his mind the Patrol reports were sorted chaotically at best. New Arrival forms could be found seemingly everywhere except where one would actually expect to find one! The state of the Arrest Records alone was enough to make him ( Read more... )

When all was said and done, it looked like something out of a storybook ( Read more... )

Kristine still wasn't sure if the Island was some kind of cosmic punishment for all the unkind thoughts she'd had for her crewmembers back on the alternate Starbug, but she was trying to make the best of it. The IPD took up some of her time, which meant there wasn't quite as much of it available in which to sit around feeling sorry for herself, ( Read more... )

The Island had been the one who'd decided to smeg with his personality in the first place, and Krissy had been the one to expect it to stay a copy of her perfect 'Dave'. He'd never claimed to be, and he never wanted to be. She couldn't say, now, that he'd never even ( Read more... )

Zack had tried to forget things. He'd been so emotional when he hadn't been himself that he was over compensating and keeping it all inside. He didn't want to put the burden of his guilt on his friends, his family, anymore than he had already. Ironically, making him even more like Cloud. Or was it that Cloud was more like him in that way ( Read more... )

Only a few days after her arrival, Kristine Kochanski has her world turned upside down - or at least the part of it containing David Lister, who seems to have undergone a complete life change overnight. Needless to say, Kristine doesn't know whether to be impressed or terrified.

When he’d woken up this morning Ace had determined that a sweep of the island was in order. It wasn’t that he thought the inhabitants of this tropical paradise were any immediate danger; it was just that Ace had always been a firm believer in ‘Better Safe Than Sorry.’ He knew the ITF could more than handle any emergency that arose, but an extra ( Read more... )

The rusty gate. Well, it was out now, wasn't it? It was only a matter of time before that damn mechanoid told the whole crew that she made a noise like a rusty gate during sex. It was stupid of her to have elaborated like that, but she had needed to know if Lister had told them ( Read more... )
