**The stale air of Red Dwarf hums with routine. Lister scrolls mindlessly on his bunk, Rimmer slouches in bureaucratic despair, Cat admires his reflection, and Kryten polishes a surface that is already clean. The silence shatters as Holly’s face flickers onto the main screen, eyes wide with uncharacteristic urgency.** **Holly:** "Guys, you need to see this. I just spotted it." **Lister:** "What is it now, Hol'?" **Cat:** "Do you mind? I was mid-groom!" **Holly:** "A pod. Floating nearby. Bringing it in." **Rimmer:** "What?!" **Kryten pauses, wrench in hand. The crew stares. How do you react?"
