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

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!"

"No, I don't get it," Anemone repeated patiently. "Is fear of aging a typical human concern? And wouldn't the relativistic nature of space travel reduce the effects of time on a human body?"

Her eldest sister had been fourteen-years-old for forty years, then spent the next ten as a giant mutant lotus-flower before being removed from this plane of existence. The ability to get old seemed kinda cool to Anemone.
