General Sousa wants and Engineer pt2 - ft Rimmer the badass!

Who: General Sousa, Amber, Justin, Arnold Rimmer
Where: Holographic control centre
When: After Rimmer was activated
The holographic image of Arnold Rimmer appeared in the room. In each arm he held
a fully automatic bazukoid, complete with an ammo belt slung over his shoulders.
He pointed the guns towards General Sousa.
"Take this you goit!" he said, and started firing.
General Sousa stood perfectly still as the holographic Rimmer fired round upon
round of shots at him. Spent holographic ammo casings dropped to the ground.
Justin grinned. Programming holograms was one of his favourite topics at
university. But his face dropped when he realised that after 3o seconds, Sousa
was still standing, and glaring at him.
"What are you doing dickh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-ed?" Sousa said. "Is this your clever
plan? He's firing holographic bullets you moron."
"The Red Dwarf hasn't got the hardlight upgrade yet." Whispered Amber, quite
embarrassed of Justin.
"Oh smeg." Justin said, then apologised profusely to General Sousa. "I'll do it
properly now, I promise."
After a few more minutes of button pressing, Justin had activated the sexy
holographic body of Katerina Bartikovsky, complete with a 'H' on her forehead.
Justin did a double take as he saw the slender curves of her slightly pixelated
body. He pressed a few more buttons to increase her resolution.
Katerina looked at the two humans, and three creatures with Dolphins heads and
kangaroo feet.
"Vot do you vant?" she said in her Russian accent. "And vere is everyone?"
"Never mind that." Said General Sousa. "I need you to give me control of the
engines."
------------------------
A short while later, Justin and Amber were handcuffed and dragged towards main
Engineering, following General Sousa and the holographic Katerina Bartikovsky.
"I need full control of the engines." Sousa explained to Katerina. "I need to
make a.... course correction."
They walked past several stasis chambers, only one was filled. As they were
pulled past Justin saw a perfectly still person waving back at him. Amber saw
him looking. "Anyone in there?"
"Yeah, a guy, he looked like a scouser." Justin said. "Probably a dick." Then he
had a thought. "Shall we try and get him out, then he could help us fight these
guards and get away."
"Don't be stupid." Said Amber. "He's got no radiation suit, he'll be killed in
seconds."
Justin nodded. "Dammit."
The Dolaroos ahead suddenly stopped. "Sir, there's a lifeform
ahe-eh-eh-eh-eh-ead" said one of the guards, pointing to the scanner on his
radiation suit's armpiece.
"What sort of lifeform?" Boomed Sousa. "Human?"
"No... something else sir. Much smaller."
"Is it dangerous?"
"I'm not sure sir."
General Sousa turned and pushed Justin in front. "If it's dangerous it'll eat
you first." He said.
Justin walked a little further and saw a small black kitten sat in the centre of
the corridor.
"It's just a cat!" He said. "A cute little pussy cat."
"How is that possible?!" Boomed the General. "With all the radiation?"
Justin took out his own Psi-scanner. "It's only partially irradiated, it must
live somewhere in the hold, protected from the radiation and come up here only
to hunt." He held out his hands to the cat. "Here putty putty." The cat glared
at him and let out a cute miow.
"He's only a kitten, there must be more." Said Justin. "I wonder-"
Then he felt something jump onto his shoulder from above and start digging its
claws into his radiation suit. Justin squirmed as the cat clung onto his face,
scratching at the visor of his radiation suit.
Behind him, each of the others were also being attacked by cats. But these
weren't ordinary cats, after 10 years of being exposed to slight radiation, they
were bigger and stronger than normal cats. They were feral, and in just 11
years, they'd reproduced into a small gang of vicious mutated cats.
One of the Dolaroo soldiers yelled as the cat bit straight through his radiation
suit, and tore it open with its razor sharp claws. As the cat bit at his glossy
dolphin skin, he felt the radiation burning him alive, until he fell to the
floor. The cat continued to munch at his flesh.
Above them on one of the ceiling rafters, a cat with a half chewed ear crouched,
and then pounced onto Amber.
<Tag Amber what do you do?! Lets escape with Katerina!>
