Y/N's POV
I was called down to the captain's office to help with circumstances to do with a certain David Lister...
I have been friends with Lister for a year now, he's quite nice if you push past the fact that he's a small minded gimp... He's got brains but he hasn't been bothered to use them....
I make my way down to the office and see that lister is sweet talking Kochanski. To be honest, I support Dave to try and speak to his crush but he keeps nattering about something on his confidence and his paranoia....
"Lister! The Caps office is over here you blind git!" I laughed as He turned around and smiled at me "Well then. It's nice to see you too Y/N... How've ya been?" He wasn't always the best for small talk. "I haven't seen you for a day and you say that's a while? Have you seen how long you can flirt with Kochanski for? THAT'S a long time!" I smile at him. The captain sits down at his desk and says "Lister....where's the cat?"
"What cat?" Lister says with guilt reaking him like his sock basket.
"Lister....Not are you only so stupid, you bring aboard an unquarenteened animal and jeopardise every man and woman on this ship, not only that! But you take a photograph of yourself with the cat and send it to be processed in the ships lab..." I try so hard not to laugh. Lister is giving me a look for help but I refused to help seeming as I could lose my rank if I go against Hollister...
"Now I'm going to ask you again, do you have a cat?" He looks lister dead in the eye
"No" "Have you got a cat?" Hollister says as he holds up a picture of Lister and the black tom "Yes....that one.." Lister seems upset "where'd you get it? Titan?" "Yeah..." "Don't you realise that that thing could be carrying anything?! Don't you remember what happened on the oragan with the rabbits?! Lister a loose animal aboard this ship could get anywhere! It could get into the air duct! It could get into Holy! Ya know a little nibble here and a little nibble there and before you know it we're flying backwards! Now I want that cat and I want it now!" Hollister is PISSED! Lister could get in a lot of trouble for this "Sir I-" "Not right now Y/N!" He cuts me off and I stay silent "Sir...just suppose I have a cat, just suppose....what would you do with Frankenstein?" He has concern in his voice
"I'd send it down to the medical centre and have it cut up and tests run on it" I was shocked at how The captain was reacting to a mere cat but it was regulation...
"Would you put it back together when you'd finished?" Lister asks
"Lister....The cat would be dead.." I said in a sad tone
"So with respect sir...what's in it for the cat?" Lister asks
"LISTER! Give me that cat" "It's not as easy as that! Me and the cat were gonna have a baby cat! And-and we're gonna buy a farm on fegi and we're gonna have a sheep and a cow and 3 horses! It's me plan! And no one can get in the way! Not even you and I do respect ya.....sir."
"Argh....Lister do you wanna go into stasis for the rest of the trip and forfeit 18 months wages?" "No...." "Do you wanna hand over that cat?" "No...."
"Choose!..." Hollister sighs and says "Y/N you are dismissed..."
=Time Skip=
Lister has been sent to stasis and Rimmer is fixing the drive plate...I'm by the escape pods and waiting on Holy to give me my task until I hear a loud crash. The ship starts shaking and I rush for a pod, I got into one and I was shot into space...
