Fic: "Machine in the Ghost" 4/8 (R)

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

“Machine in the Ghost”
Rated: R for language, slashy sexytimes, talk of torture
Chars: Lister/Rimmer, Kochanski, Cat, Kryten, Hol, original characters
Disclaimer: Property of Grant Naylor. I don't get to keep these characters, I just get to take them home for the night on occasion.
Summary: The crew gets more than they bargain for when they find a derelict in deep space. Can be read as a standalone, or as the continuation of Urgent, which itself juts out of a short earlier series I wrote. (In other words, do what you want, LOL.)
Spoilers: The entire TV series, some borrowed elements from the novels.
A/N: This fic begins back here.


Lister was on edge and not in the mood to trade barbs. Rimmer wondered if he should instigate conversation a few times, just to take Lister’s mind off the next substance he was likely to be bathed in.
