Niples + Katrina "Double crossing"

Captain Seymour Niples + Dark Katrina
JMC Blue Dwarf
Captain's quarters
 
"Are you sure this is right?" Asked Seymour nervously as Dark Katrina tried to take his trousers off.
"Of course this is right, we used to do this all of the time before you lost you memory." DK lied, sticking her hand up the captain's shirt making him move awkwardly away.
"But what about the blonde haired girl...Katrina..."
"My erm...my ...sister..." DK said.
"Yes, she seems to think that we're a ...couple. And that can't be right if ...well, if us two are a couple."
"Forget her, she's nothing. You're with me." DK said as she licked Seymours face.
Seymour edged uncomfortably away again, "Are you sure? I mean...I'm trusting you here because I lost my memory. You...you would tell me if there was something different than how things were before wouldn't you?"
 
DK rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Of course I bloody would!" She tried to drag him into the bedroom but the Captain looked towards the dinner table.
 
"What about the meal I cooked for us? I tried to follow one of Seym- I mean my recipies, but I just can't remember how to do it right..."
They looked at the chargrilled Cous-Cous with some kind of orderve which looked like it had been left near a plasma radiation cooler for too long, it glowed unappetisingly."
"Can we just skip food?" Said DK, looking at the failed attempt at "food" on the table.
Seymour looked up at her with bulging eyes which would have made a sad puppy look almost devilish.
"It's not that...Its just that I'm trying to be the Seymour that everyone knew, but i can't remember. Its as if I'm a person who's trying to live up to everyone's expectations of myself. For example, today I was asked to fill out a request form to the JMC for MK6 Standard hand basins for the gents toilets on floor brown 16. I didn't know if I was doing the right thing, for all I know the toilets on floor brown 16 might already be fitted with MK 7 hand basins, or even MK 8! I didn't know if I was doing the right thing!"
 
DK sighed and  re-buttoned the top she was wearing up to the top, it was getting harder and harder to use people who had lost their memory these days. But all this one does is winge about how its not right... blah blah.
 
Suddenly, the man who knew himself to be Niples stood up. "I've had an idea!" he exclaimed. 
"Whoopy do." said DK unenthusiastically and started thumbing through Niples' collection of Gardeners weekly magazine. 
 
"Holly. Do we have the last saved hologram of Captain Seymour Niples saved on disk?"
Holly appeared on the TV screen above the hot tub in Niples' lavishly decorated quarters.
"Yes we do, what do you want to do with it?"
"I want you to project it into this room so that I can ask the original Captain Niples what he was like."
"Gordon bennett captain, I've heard a lot of crazy things on this ship but I've got to admit that I've never heard that before. Anyway, we dont have enough power to maintain any more holograms. You'll have to free some power from engineering."
 
"Okie dokie." Said Seymour, wondering if the old him used to say things like 'okie dokie' then dismissed the thought.
He kissed DK on the forehead and left to go down to engineering to free up some of the ship's power.
 
<<Can any of the engineers help the captain? Can ANYONE help the captain?>>
 
DK finished flicking through Seymour collection of the most boring magazines in the universe, and that was before she even started looking at the Financial Times.
 
"Damn that Katrina." She moaned. "She doesn't even deserve the captain of a starship, she doesn't understand the power that she could have if she tried, she could get him to do anything for her, but she doesn't even try."
 
The automatic doors to the quarters opened to allow a person entrance to the room, but no-one stood in the doorway. Or at least no humans, Katrina's cat PITA had stood on the pressure pad to open the door and walked straight in to the apartment.
A thought came into DK mind and she suddenly sat upright. It was a good plan, but was she evil enough to do it?
 
"I get rid of that silly little girl Katrina and I can have Seymour all to myself. Then I can use him as my little pawn and do whatever I want, ooh what a great plan if I do say so myself!" She complimented herself.
 
"Here kitty kitty." DK picked up the small cat which flopped into her arms. She emoved a small flashing device from the heel of her shoe and attached it to the moggy's collor. She lifted the pus up to her eyes and spoke straight into its screwed up face.
"Okay, its only a small explosive device so you've got to get really close okay?"
 
The cat winked. Then spat as DK jabbed it in the stomach.
 
"Okay then, go... go my pretty!" She dropped the cat harshly and it ran out of the door, looking back momentarily to hiss before running down the corridor to Katrina's quarters.
 
DK took a rudimentary-looking scanner from her pocket and plugged a loose wire attached to it into Seymour's work computer. An image came up on screen of a corridor, the one outside in fact. The bomb attached to PITA had a built in camera which allowed DK to see where it was headed.
She sat back and watched the show, with her finger hovering the big red button on her scanner marked "DETONATE".
 
<<Katrina, theres a bomb coming your way!>>
