   Holly stated, in a very sarcastic manner. "I was just coming to that! That   
   is one of the issues, that I do need to raise, with you all! I am having a   
   bit   
   of a problem, in re-initialising him!". Lister was suddenly very concerned,   
   with regard to Holly's news about Rimmer. And, he suddenly, felt very   
   guilty,   
   indeed, because of what he had done to Rimmer, via knocking him out, the   
   way that he had done, a few days ago! 'Oh God', he thought. 'What have I   
   done?' But he decided not to dwell on that, too much, for the time being,   
   anyhow! Lister asked Holly in a very panicky voice: "Why, wh-what's the   
   matter with him, then Holly?". Holly sighed, and said - "It definitely looks   
   like, his light bee, has taken a bit of a whack!". Holly gave Lister a look   
   of   
   contempt. But Lister thought that it was probably for the best, not to say   
   anything, in the circumstances, where this was concerned, unless Holly   
   directly   
   accused him, of punching Rimmer! And Lister had got no intention, of   
   admitting   
   to Holly, that he had probably caused, some quite significant damage, to   
   Rimmer's   
   light bee, unless, he absolutely had to, anyhow!   
      
   But that said, Lister was still deeply ashamed, of what he had done to   
   Rimmer, about four days ago, and he thought, that it was probably for   
   the best, if he voiced his concerns, to her, as he really did feel   
   responsible,   
   for what he had done, where that was concerned! "I am really sorry to hear   
   about that, Holly. There isn't any permanent damage, done there, I hope!".   
   Lister was vastly relieved, when Holly stated: "Not, that I can see, Dave.   
   Unfortunately however, it isn't quite, as simple, as all that. His light   
   bee, seems   
   different somehow! There is definitely something, that isn't registering   
   right, there,   
   where that is concerned, in my general opinion!".   
      
   Lister did his level best, to conceal a sigh of relief, that he was not   
   directly   
   responsible, for any long term damage, to Rimmer's light bee, anyhow!   
   Even though, he had an idea, that Holly, wasn't entirely convinced of that,   
   somehow! But he thought, that it was probably, for the best, if he did not   
   dwell, on that too much, for the time being, anyhow!   
      
   Holly carried on - "It is something, I just cannot fathom, for the life of   
   me,   
   Dave! And I really do feel, that I will need, the best part of forty eight   
   hours,   
   to explore, and resolve, the problem, which should give you, plenty of time   
   to catch up with your beauty sleep!".   
      
   Holly was doing her level best, not to worry, too much, about the problem,   
   with Rimmer's light bee. But there was something, that was bugging her,   
   quite badly, where this was concerned. She knew, that she would be able, to   
   resolve, the problem, where that was concerned, sooner or later! However,   
   she knew, that she could have done, with a computer programmer (a human   
   computer programmer, come to that!), who specialised, in the Hologrammatic   
   core programme, who could have helped her, work out, the very complex   
   problem,   
   which was blocking her, from re-booting Rimmer's hologrammatic life form, at   
   this point, in time! Why, she was that, desperate, if she had to rely, on a   
   human   
   mind! And Holly, knew without a doubt, that she needed, more time, to find   
   out,   
   what the Bloody HELL, was going on, where bringing, Rimmer back to life,   
   again,   
   was concerned! Why, she was utterly flummoxed, with a frustration, that she   
   had   
   never known, in all of her runtime! She had never had a problem, where   
   restoring   
   his hologrammatic personality, was concerned, before now! Something was   
   seriously   
   wrong, she thought. Fortunately however, Holly had soon worked it out, that   
   something,   
   was seriously wrong, where his core programme, was concerned, which was   
   affecting,   
   the start up process! She knew that much! And she knew, deep down, she would   
   be   
   able, to resolve the problem, via going over her memory banks, with regard,   
   to the   
   Hologrammatic programmes history, from the Twentieth century, to the present   
   day!   
   Holly was fully aware, that she would have to go back to that primitive   
   part, of the   
   Twentieth century, which would be: The year 1947, when holograms, had been   
   invented, by a Hungarian Scientist, called Denis Gabor, who had lived from   
   1900 to   
   1979. Holly shuddered, when she thought, back to that period in time. 1947.   
   Two   
   years away, from the end of the Second World War, when everyday useful   
   Scientific   
   experiments, had been held back, for the best part of six years. And she was   
   also fully   
   aware of the evil experiments, that had been   
   conducted,   
   by the Scientists, who had worked for Nazi Germany, at the Concentration   
   Camps, in   
   Germany and Poland. That was all the Scientific progress, that had been   
   made, along with the development of the atomic bombs, that had ended, the   
   Second World War, in Japan (I sincerely apologise, to any survivors, of the   
   Holocaust, and any survivors, of the atomic bombs, in Hiroshima and   
   Nagasaki,   
   Japan, who may happen, to come across, this Fan Fiction, for causing any   
   distress,   
   where this is concerned! But I am just trying to point out, how, a computer,   
   in the   
   twenty third century, who is more, that capable of human thought, would   
   deal, with   
   those kind of emotions, where that was concerned! And, I have also spoken to   
   a   
   Holocaust survivor, and a widow of a Holocaust survivor, and I was deeply   
   distressed, and very angry, to discover, what they had been through! Marie   
   Birch).   
      
   But for now, this was beyond, even her! And Holly refused, to voice her   
   fears, where restoring, Rimmer's hologrammatic core programme, was   
   concerned, to her fellow Dwarfer's, as she felt, that they had got more than   
   enough, to worry about, for the moment!   
      
   Surprisingly however, Lister had a sudden thought, about Rimmer's light bee,   
   which would quite easily have explained, why Holly could not re-boot him.   
   But he could not, for the life of him, think what it was, because he was so   
   tired,   
   at that point, in time. But he vowed, that he would definitely rack, his   
   brains, after   
   he had caught up, with his sleep, to work out, just exactly, what was wrong   
   with   
   Rimmer's light bee, and that, he would definitely raise the matter, with   
   Holly, as   
   soon, as it was possible, for him, to do so, that is! It was the very least,   
   that he   
   could do, in the circumstances, anyhow!   
      
   However, little did Lister know, that it would be exactly forty eight   
   hours,   
   when he would find out, just exactly what, the problem, with Rimmer's   
   light bee, was! And that problem, with Rimmer's light bee, would be a huge   
   step backwards, for them, all! Well, to a certain extent, anyway!   
      
   In fact, the Cat and Kryten, were also feeling, a little bit worse, for   
   wear,   
   to say the very least! And, a rather anxious Kryten, suddenly made a very   
   wise suggestion. They had also felt, that Rimmer's situation, could wait,
