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!"

[ocd coming up!]

IN THE FUTURE!

...yeah, someone's projecting.

...he didn't plan this far. Um, deal with the horror?

If you want to say goodbye. This is his second-to-last post.

Thank you all for signing up, I hope you had a good time, and thank you for putting up with Rimmer's antics.

Anemone

Anemone looked at the monitor, nose wrinkling in confusion before sticking up her hand.

"Soooo... what does this have to do with space? I don't get it."

...Rimmer blinked.

"You don't get it?"

How could they not get it?!?!?!eleventy!

Danny Fenton

...well, at least Rimmer didn't know what Danny did, and hadn't put his evil future possibility up there.

He didn't want to know what people would think of that.

Danny's hand went up as soon as she finished speaking. "I'm with her," he said.

Tahiri Veila

She didn't look all that different, actually, just a couple of inches taller and with a more toned build, as the much more form-fitting jumpsuit her mirror self wore showed awfully clearly. (Sure, taunt her about the height, thanks.) And not that much visibly older ~~because apparently people live forever in the GFFA or something~~.

You'd think that would be reassuring.

"If this is supposed to be funny," Tahiri muttered to herself, "it's really, really not."

Having Issues was kind of really inconvenient sometimes.

Karla

Do you mind if I show Karla without legs? It actually is her future self.

*sadface*

Sure! Crazy futuristic wheelchair Karla works. Rimmer kinda went overboard.

He rubbed at his forehead, wishing he didn't feel the H there.

"It's you! In the future! After you've turned into worthless smegs whose only ambition is to feed your own hungers and desires with no consideration for the space/time continuum. I assure you, this is terribly dangerous."

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.

"That's not the only future," Danny replied firmly. "Any action can change things, for better or worse. I've seen one of the paths already, and it's way more dangerous than just... growing up and becoming like everyone else in the world!"

"Yes, of course, but it is a future that can come and try to blow you up without much notice," he pointed out in reply."

"Do you even know what you're talking about anymore?" Danny asked, looking frustrated. "How is aging and being focused on what you need and want going to blow anybody up?"

Andrew Wiggin

Rimmer shook his head with deep remorse for the travesty that was the Earth educational system. They never would have stood for this sort of nonsense on Io.

"You have utterly missed the point of this lesson, Mr. Fenton. A shame, really. You had such promise."

...Danny, you're trying logic. Rimmer doesn't have any.

"Interesting."

Let it never be said Ender didn't have a talent for carefully worded non-answers. ~~Not that his actual future was going to be any better.~~
