Three days earlier, Kryten's nanobots had rebuilt "Red Dwarf", but done so far too large. Lister enters the cockpit, showing off his now non-muscular body, and it emerges that the enlargement is a temporary symptom of the nanobots' restoration process, as it soon turns out that "Red Dwarf" is shrinking around "Starbug". Suddenly, the ship is sucked into an air vent. With "Red Dwarf" almost completely shrunk, the corridors rip off the rear and middle section of "Starbug" before the cockpit is sent flying into a cargo bay where it crash-lands, and the crew manage to escape mere seconds before it explodes.
