  Summary

  “They’re all dead, everybody’s dead”
  “Even Lister?”
  “Now, that's where we come to you”

  Before bringing Lister back from stasis, Holly activates Rimmer 20 minutes earlier to prepare him for his ‘duties’, and in true Rimmer-fashion, he spirals out of control. Accidentally turned into a bit of a character study but oh well :)
