   Summary

   Lister is not an insubordinate man by nature. In fact, for the right person, he can be very, very subordinate indeed. Rimmer is not that person.

   But when Lister gets transferred to a different shift, and starts acting suspiciously – that is to say, obediently – Rimmer becomes determined to find out what's behind this mysterious transformation. What he's been doing wrong.

   Maybe he's been too strict with Lister, all this time.

   Or maybe – he hasn't been strict enough.
