The virus affected Kryten's subconscious, making him hallucinate a western town named Existence. He was the town's drunken sheriff, ridiculed by the locals, especially a gunslinger called Jimmy. He tripped Kryten, prompting a confrontation between the two. Jimmy encouraged Kryten to draw his weapon, saying "They say you used to be faster than a toilet stop in rattlesnake country". Kryten instead apologised for tripping over Jimmy's boot.
