Lifeforms through the radiation

<snip>
"This is the real Red Dwarf!" He shouted over his radio.
He pulled on the manual hangar door release and the large metal door opened
slowly, then watched as the Starbug flew inside.
"Hey wait for me!" He said, crawling through the hangar door before it closed.

Who: Efof, Jay, Rosette, Justin and anyone else who wants to join us
Where: Red Dwarf's landing bay
When: After Justin opened the door
The Starbug touched down on the Red Dwarf's flight deck, next to Starbug 1, a
ship which was identical in every way apart from it's insignia stated 'Red
Dwarf' rather than blue. Captain Chrysler was the first one out of the Starbug,
and started giving orders to different crewmembers as they disembarked.
Efof sensibly waved around a Psi-scanner to assess life support on the ship.
"Captain I'm reading a lot of flashing red behind those doors, and on most of
the ship." He stated. Jay wasn't sure what the hapless Ffionian he was talking
about so took a look at the scanner himself. "Radiation." He muttered, then
addressed the crowd. "Everyone, this entire ship has extremely high levels of
radiation, most likely leaking from the engineering decks. Put on your radiation
suits please."
As all the Humans scrabbled to put on radiation suits, Efof remained still and
waited for them. When asked he simply said "Ffionians are immune to radiation.
Probably."
Rosette opened the door into the rest of the ship, unleashing a toxic cloud of
radiation onto the flight deck which passed harmlessly over everyone's radiation
suits, apart from Efof.
His blue skin started to bubble and melt.
"I'll go get a radiation suit." He said, running back to the Starbug.
As the team progressed through the Red Dwarf's complex series of corridors, Jay
shouted to them all that he wanted to find out what happened to cause the
radiation, and what happened to the crew, and if there was anyone still alive.
Efof ran a scan with his psi-scanner again, this time looking for lifeforms. The
radiation was playing havoc with his instrument, but it was registering several
lifeforms in the corridor ahead. He showed it to Rosette, who made everyone halt
at the next metal door and ready their weapons.
"Can you tell what they are?" Rosette asked. "Human? Alien? ...Hymenoptera?"
"Not sure." Said Efof, could be anything. But there's more than one."
Rosette nodded and opened the metal door.
