 The group discover it to be the work of The Inquisitor – a self-repairing simulant who survived until the end of time, and is now time-travelling into the past to judge those who are worthless, remove them from existence, and replace with another who could have been conceived in their place.Each member of the group finds themselves judged by the Inquisitor through a copy of themselves – while Rimmer and Cat are spared with their arguments, Kryten and Lister find that they failed to make something of themselves at a critical juncture.Both find themselves removed from the time-stream, and replaced by their un-conceived equivalents.
