MEDICAL UNIT.
CAT: Is he OK?
RIMMER: As far as we can tell, yes.
CAT: So where'd the creature go?
RIMMER: Well, it turned into a kind of splodgy, squelchy
thing and squidged off down the corridor.
CAT: What is it? Some kind of alien?
HOLLY: No, it's from Earth -- man made. I checked
out its DNA profile. Some kind of genetic experiment
that went wrong.
KRYTEN: Apparently, it was an attempt to create the
ultimate warrior -- a mutant that could change shape
to suit its terrain and deceive its enemies.
CAT: So what did go wrong?
HOLLY: It feeds off the negative emotions -- fear, guilt,
anger, paranoia -- drains them out of its prey.
KRYTEN: It's a sort of emotional vampire. It changes
shape to provoke a negative emotion -- in Lister's
case, it took him to the very limit of his terror,
then sucked out his fear.
RIMMER: So now Lister's got no sense of fear?
KRYTEN: Precisely.
RIMMER: What are we going to do?
LISTER: Well, I say let's get out there and twat it!
RIMMER: Lister, you're ill. Just relax and leave this to
us.
LISTER: I could have had it in the sleeping quarters, but
you saw it -- you saw it -- it took me by surprise.
RIMMER: Lister, it turned into an eight-foot-tall, armourplated
alien killing machine.
LISTER: If it wants a Bonney, we'll give it one! One swift
knee in the happy sacks; it'll drop like anyone else!
RIMMER: Fine, well, we'll bear that in mind when we're
planning our strategy.
LISTER: I'm gonna rip out its windpipe and beat it to
death with the tonsil end. I'm gonna stick my fist so
far down its gob, I'll be able to pull the label off its
underpants.
Kryten injects a sedative through Lister's arm.
LISTER: What's that, pal? You starting trouble?
KRYTEN: It's just a little something to calm you
down, sir.
