Kryten knows he (with metal hands) can not penetrate the hard light (Legion). Likely they would assume that he could not be killed. They never get the to know about the dead hard-light Ace anyway. LH is last human? I have not read the books.

Date: 2006-07-20 05:50 pm (UTC)Kryten never tried to lay hands (oh dear, the bunnies) on Rimmer to pull the bee; he just tried to clonk him unconscious. He probably took Legion at his word once he couldn't knock Rimmer out - but as Rimmer could be killed by the 'Bug's destruction and by a gun, Legion was likely exaggerating. It's tough to pull consistancy out of RD, as Rob and Doug didn't really seem to care. But I tiptoe through to some kind of continuity if I assume that the grenade that the Emohawk turned into was just a form, not a functional grenade - there must be limits to what a shapeshifter can do, and fragmenting over the vicinity might well be it. It didn't explode like a grenade, just made a light show, and Rimmer ended up holding the Emohawk, not bits of it. Killing isn't what the Emohawk does; I ended up thinking that the grenade was just a form meant to evoke suckable fear. Kryten is nutters, but intelligent, and I'd think he'd figure it out (perhaps together with Rimmer in his 24 hours as Ace).
There are a lot of assumptions you have to make for things that aren't made clear in RD, and those are just some of the ones that I make. Not any more valid than anyone else's, but it's the background I use to write. I write from the idea that Rimmer's hard-light drive is not all that more invulnerable than a human body, and Kryten couldn't knock him out in Legion simply because his brains were in his bee, not in his head. It's also not unreasonable to assume that Kryten would figure that out from the physical in Rimmerworld, if nothing else.
