It's Lister's birthday today and Kryten has decided to celebrate. Unfortunately, it's also the day that Lister apparently has a heart attack. Thankfully, it's only a case of severe indigestion, but Kryten suggest putting in a monitoring chip into Lister's bloodstream anyway. It doesn't take long before "Chippy" explodes. Investigating, Kryten finds that Chippy was running off old software and that the ship has been accumulating updates for the past few years.

* AccidentalUnfortunateGesture: Lister's brain is hacked so he can only see items manufactured by M-Corp. Kryten tests the limits of this blindness by holding up various objects and asking Lister if he can see it. Whenever an object is invisible to Lister, it is also invisible to the audience. The last (invisible) object he holds up causes his hand to vibrate in an alarmingly suggestive fashion. He then passes to Cat and Rimmer, whose hands also vibrate in a suggestive fashion, causing Lister to remark "I really hope that's an electric toothbrush!".

When the Dwarfers upload the latest software update they discover the Jupiter Mining Corporation, owners of Red Dwarf, have been bought by M-Corp - a company that only allows products made by them to be visible to their employees. This leaves Lister struggling to find a way to deactivate the blinding virus that M-Corp has infected him with.

Installing the updates, the crew find that the [=JMC=] had been bought out by M-Corp. It's not too long though before Lister becomes unable to see things that the others can, including lager. Kryten deduces that the upgrade installed a form of perception filter software, meaning that Lister is unable to see anything on board the ship which isn't owned by the company. Even worse, as the Cat is not an official ship worker and Rimmer and Kryten are made up of parts manufactured by different companies, they become invisible to Lister as well.
