"Good news, class," he announced as soon as they were all in. If anyone was wondering how there could be good news, it would be revealed in just a few moments. Yes, from Rimmer.

Careful and watch your heart monitors, folks.

"Today's scheduled class, a meeting with a thankfully holographic Inquisitor, will, due to last weeks horrifying nightmare of an experience, be postponed indefinitely. In fact, pretend I never mentioned it... unless, say, you happen to wake up one night to see a skull-like face looming over you insisting you justify your existence."

...

"Something like that. Anyway, today we'll be covering pleasure GELFs and I've even been so good as to provide you your own room for a touch of privacy."

Behind him, in fact, there were a number of doors, the exact number as there were students.

"This is to prepare you for dealing with such a creature should you meet them in the future, so that you're prepared. Attempt to sleep with the one you find here, however, and it will turn into a rather confused marsupial. Which one has been entirely left to choice, so good luck with that."

Like you're GOING to face the Inquisitor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inquisitor_(Red_Dwarf)).

Anemone

Andrew Wiggin

Kaylee Frye

Valentine Wiggin

Mirax Terrik

Danny Fenton

Which went on a little farther explaining pleasure GELF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_(Red_Dwarf)).

As Valentine listened to the lecture and the subsequent warning about marsupials, she found herself pondering that marsupials in general were probably greatly confused, unless they were simply blissfully unaware of their status as amusing biological anomalies.

Inside, the being is programmed to become exactly what you desire most in the world for a mate. ...feel free to make that whatever you like.

Of course, it was really of little surprise to Valentine's subconscious (although her outward appearance would suggest that she thought something was clearly broken with the GELF) that what she found behind the door was an individual that seemed to falter occasionally in its resemblance to Ender to take on one more like Peter, and that it went, from there, into a discussion of political discourse where he knew that she knew that he knew that he wasn't really winning, it just seemed like he was because she was allowing it, but still took all the credit for himself anyway.

Afterward, the pleasure GELF probably felt pretty tired, because if there was one thing that Valentine desired most in a mate, it was sure as hell way too damn complicated.

BECAUSE HE LACKS A TA for which he is QUITE cross.

"Sir," and, oh, the carefully laced irony she slid into the word, "I'm not sure if Ender mentioned it at all, but, just to be sure, I wanted to mention that I wasn't in class last week because I was a cat."

"Are you trying to get out of the investigation then?"

There was a bit of a pause and a tilt of Valentine's head.

"No," she said, a bit carefully, "I'm just explaining that I wasn't in class because I was a cat."

"So what you're saying is that you definitely didn't draw on my face while I was asleep last class," he said, in all serious, "because you were a cat. That's the angle, is it?"

"Someone drew on your face, sir?" Valentine asked.

"Don't play coy with me, Second Wiggin," he said with a shake of his head.

"I'm sure you know the culprit, but since you were a cat and I assume by that you mean a normal housecat as opposed to the more evolved version... I'll take your word for it that it wasn't you."

What was it about the inferior, that they always seemed to have the worst paranoia?

But Valentine just nodded and said, "Thank you, sir. And I hope that you figure out whoever did write on your face."

Even if she thought it was an odd concern for someone with a big H on his head to have.

Because even Rimmer is not as evil as sending the Inquisitor to a group after the BDE.
