Vending Machines

Located all over Red Dwarf, the vending machines offer quick access to a wide variety of snacks. Sadly the maintenance team - Rimmer and Lister - were not always red-hot, and people would rarely get what they ordered.

The coffee machine on C deck is a gossip, and the one outside Hollister's quarters considers Rimmer to be his very nemesis. One machine was wired by a lunatic skutter to the self-destruct system (triggered by ordering a milkshake and a crispie bar) and a lisping machine has severe problems with voice-recognition, mis-hearing 'black coffee' as 'empty bucket'.

Operational notes: Aside from setting off the self-destruct system and a can-firing attack on Rimmer, the machines are rarely dangerous. Unless they're actually a Psiren in disguise, of course.
