Just as he thinks things cannot get any worse, Rimmer enters the bunkroom. However, this is not the Rimmer that left "Starbug" to take on his alter-egopersona of Ace, but rather the Rimmer that was aboard "Red Dwarf" before the accident that wiped out the crew. Lister tells Rimmer the whole story and asks for help in escaping. In exchange, he offers Rimmer a copy of the crew's personal and confidential files that exist on "Starbug". Rimmer initially refuses, until Lister tells him that with the information, he can get the promotion to officer status like he has always wanted. Rimmer agrees and Lister gives him his watch which Holly has been loaded into.
