When the Starbug crew became convinced that they had been playing a TIV game for four years, they decided to leave the arcade and find out more about their new identities. When they reached the car park and found Lister's car, a small girl ran past them with an apple in her hand. She was being chased by a fascist policeman, who was trying to gun her down. He demanded that the Dwarfers move aside so that he could get a clear shot with his submachine gun, but Kryten refused to let Rimmer step out of the line of fire.
