- Lister and Cat are playing card games in the sleeping quarters while Rimmer bores them with a story of how he defeated a cadet school officer at Risk. Kryten teleports in the room with a handheld teleportation device called a "matter paddle", he asks Lister to for a joint teleportation and they'll meet the others on Starbug. Kryten studies the paddle for locations to visit, one such location is 200,000 light years away. Kryten suggests he and Rimmer go ahead as a scout party as they are electronics and would not be affected by an unbreathable atmosphere, as Rimmer is a hologram he can't touch it, so he's reduced to his light bee form, which Lister puts in his mouth as a prank.
