Level//Nivelo

Different levels could be in different parts of the ship. The Stasis Leak could be right at the back of the ship, while they spend most of their time at the front. Or vice versa.

I’ve always wanted to know what the hell is actually filling the ship. It’s so absurdly big, what else is going on in there?

Probably some kind of top-secret prison filled with hardened criminals.

Yeah, you’re right. Sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking.

about the mining – there should be an episode where for some tenuous reason they have to do some mining but no-one knows anything about it. and their lives depend on it. and they do some mining in the end because their lives depend on it, ironically, what with them being on a mining ship all this time. and when they go to do the actual mining they wear cloches on there heads with lights on

I was always under the impression that since the ship contained geologists and scientists, that the Red Dwarf crew would themselves be doing the mining or were transporting miners and their equipment to Triton.

They do manage to confuse themselves by using various naming structures for the ship’s levels – there’s the stuff like Level/Nivelo 592, then we get mentions of the penthouse suite on A-Deck and the science labs on Z-Deck, then finally the prison is on Floor 13.

bazookoids are mining lasers. people are doing the mining but we never come across them in the entire red dwarf oeuvre. it would be funny if they lampshaded that in the show

also you can’t show it erect on the tv. only in the dj xix logo

Well, I think it’s meant to be full of the cargo bay, which according to BtE is about half a mile high and the length and width of the ship, a level entirely full of water, a vertical and dangerously badly designed prison (which presumably intersects everything), and a city in the middle for all the families of the miners that are never shown, didn’t the first two series suggest that was the case? Curry houses, huge botanical gardens, nightclubs and shopping centres, and all the plebs who actually run the ship are bunked up in little grey cells shitting in front of each other.

It’s certainly an odd one. Don’t think about it too hard, it doesn’t make any sense.
