Lister awakens to the news that EverybodysDeadDave. As he is now the [[LastOfHisKind last living human]], the ship's computer Holly creates him some company, despite his personal preferences, in a hologram of his despised former bunkmate, [[SmallNameBigEgo Second Technician Arnold J. Rimmer]] (Creator/ChrisBarrie) -- on the basis that an ongoing mission to get on Rimmer's nerves in death as well as in life would do most in the long run for Lister's sanity. The pair discover the Cat (Creator/DannyJohnJules), the last known member of ''his'' race ''Felis sapiens'', which evolved from the pregnant cat that got Lister put in suspended animation in the first place. Lister decides that he wants to return to Earth, despite the fact that no-one aboard knows if the human race still exists, and despite the problem that the journey back will take another three million years at sub-lightspeed.[[note]](Even turning the ship around at near lightspeed will take 4000 years according to Lister -- though this is later contradicted by the series 2 episode "[[Recap/{{Red Dwarf Season II Better Than Life}} Better Than Life]]", where the ship has already turned and started heading towards Earth.
