Rimmer, Ace

Captain's Comments
In another dimension, the young Arnold Rimmer was kept back in school. By remaining in Junior D for a second year, Rimmer's drive to succeed powered him to become a Space Corps Marine, eventually ending up as a test-pilot for the Corps. While testing a ship which crosses dimensions, Rimmer encountered himself. (Note: To quote Ace, 'The man's a maggot.

Solely responsibly for a soar in rubber shares, Rimmer eventually caught the business end of a neutron tank in Dimension 165. (Note: There are an infinite number of dimensions - who's been going around numbering them?) Each Ace enlisted a successor, and sooner or later they were bound to call up Red Dwarf's own second technician. (Note: He had actually been transformed into Ace by an Emohawk once before, so he may yet prove capable.)
