Surviving Deep Space - Thursday, Period Two - 8/20

[uptheziggurat.livejournal.com]

As they walked into the class, Rimmer actually looked rather... rather emotional.

"This is, as you should all know, my very last class with you. I am sure that you will all miss me, that you will lament those moments when you doubted me, or drew on me with a permanent marker, or laughed behind my back and thought I couldn't see because yes, I did see that and you know who you are."

He breathed in after that.

"But today, we face the worst enemy you will ever possibly come up against, the most repugnant, the most terrible:"

He leaped over to one side of the room and revealed video monitors, each one with a face that should look familiar: it was his students. Well, it was a version of his students. Each of them in the monitor had some sort of terrible new feature, most of them were either overweight or their clothing was hideous, and at least one was sporting a rather pointless toupee.

"Yourselves! In the future!"

Karla was a little...shocked. There was her future self, strapped down to some kind of contraption. It was a chair, with wheels. She...had no legs. Why wouldn't she have any legs? Even if something horrible had happened, between her, Gabrielle, and Jaenelle, there's no way they couldn't have Healed that damage.

But deep within her her spidey-senses were tingling, she knew she was seeing something true.
