Fic: Psirens. PG.

I've had this idea running around my head, and it finally... er.. congealed. Psirens gapfiller.

She was sly; she was patient.

Crit is always good. Written for fanfic100. Little Damn Table.

Ah, lovely. What an interesting creature. I don't think I've ever read a fic with this POV sort of before...
I've always wonderd about GELF's in Red Dawrf. Who the hell bred those things?! Still, much entertaiment all round.

Yeah, it's odd. The Polymorph was a military project, so maybe the Psirens were, too - and they went (dramatic Kryten voice) insaaane. :)

The Psirens were insectoid, so when I tried to think about how they'd see humans, I figgered the lack of an exoskeleton would make an appearance.

There are two moments in VI when Rimmer has an odd look on his face that makes me double-take. One is the open-mouthed one that he has when he calls the others' attention to the missing Psiren - it might have been fear at the Escaped Alien, but to me, it looks like he just saw... something. The other is the morning-after scene in Legion, when he asks why Legion is so concerned with fulfilling their every desire; he looks oddly uncomfortable, and does not make eye contact with Lister.

Well, that was a ramble. Er, thanks for the feedback. :)

The Kinitawowe puzzle me the most. They explained the Polymorph, I can understand the pleasure GELF (though it's a slightly disturbing idea), Your explanation for the Psiresns seems plausible, but the Kinitawowe? Well, it makes it all the funnier. I liked the nod to their origin you had in "Spanners". Highly amusing.

Odd looks, gaps, I love those!
