[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
A message pod reaches Lister from Diva-Droid International, manufacturers of Kryten and the 4000 series of mechanoids. It announces that Kryten is outdated and should shut himself down, as his replacement is on the way, and Kryten resigns himself to his fate. Lister decides to throw a last-day party for Kryten, and waking up the following morning with a hangover, Kryten finds that he has had fun for the first time, and decides not to go quietly after all.
