|  | This is an SOS distress call from the 
                                mining ship Red Dwarf. 
                                 The crew are dead, killed by an radiation leak.  The only survivors were Dave Lister - who was in suspended animation during the disaster, and his pregnant cat, who was safely sealed in the hold.  Revived 3 million years later, Lister’s only companions are a lifeform who evolved from his cat, and Arnold Rimmer, a hologram simulation of one of the dead crew.
