Dark Matter

16

Unlike the day before, Seven was much less talkative, and more... weird, more creepy. No one bothered to say anything though. They all just want to get to the space station and relax for a bit. 

Six though, he wants to find out about his past. From what Seven had told him, before they had gotten into the vault, about his past... he needs to find out what happened and who he is. He can't believe that he let so many people die because of some General, so he needs to find out why he did those things. 

Seven, wants to relax as well, but there are things she also needs to do. She needs to get the thumb drive, and figure out her past as well. She figures that if she tells Two she would rather stay on the ship, she'll let her. Especially since she's more herself. So she sits in her room, trying to figure out where a thumb drive would fit into her computer. She may be smart, and have weird brain... stuff... but that doesn't mean she's very good at computers. As she finds the port where the thumb drive will fit, Two's voice rings out over the comms.

"Just giving everyone a heads up. We're about to dock."

As they dock into the space station Seven makes her way to the mess hall, where everyone will meet to talk about who's doing what on the station. Seven takes a seat at the table next to Five, and it doesn't take long for everyone else to make it into the mess.

"Ok, supply run," Two says walking in. "One, you're on infirmary restock. You got your list?"

"Got it."

"Four, seeds to keep hydroponics going. Five you've got gak-"

"Connectors, adapters, and three-twelve sprockets," Five replies, earing a chuckle from Six.

"That's what I said," Two tells her. "Three and Seven, you've got juice. Make sure that um... Where the hell's Three?

"In his room. He says he's not coming," Five tells her.

"I'll get him," Four tells the group.

"Give him some time," Six says. 

"He's had enough time."

No one says anything as Four leaves, and once he's gone Two continues. Once she's done and everyone gets up to leave, to do their tasks, Seven goes up to Two, and stops her before she can leave. 

Two turns to Seven, "Yes, Seven?"

Seven looks at her for a few moments before speaking, "I want to stay... on, on the ship."

"I get that Three can be a bit much at times, but if you don't want to go with him you can help someone else get supplies."

"No, I don't want..." Seven begins as she struggles to find the words. The thoughts and images from the space station are starting to overwhelm her. 

Noticing Seven's struggle and sudden discomfort Two interrupts her, "Ok, you can stay behind. I don't know what's wrong with you, but if you want to stay behind because that's what you need, then you can stay behind. Just please don't wonder off the ship at all, don't let anyone on, and if the Android wakes up, alert me... Ok?"

Happy that she can stay behind and not be overwhelmed by everyone on the station, Seven nods.

Two pats Seven's shoulder, and leaves her in the mess. 

... 

Once Seven is the only one on board the ship, she quickly makes her way to the med bay, where the Android is offline, and fixing herself. Quickly Seven runs up to her, and takes her arm into her hands. She feels around a bit, trying to find where the small compartment is. Then suddenly the small compartment in the Android's arm opens and reveals a small blue thumb drive.

Seven takes the thumb drive out of her arm, closes the compartment, and takes a moment to look at the drive. 

A rare smile falls onto her face. This drive can help her figure out who she is. Everyone else, besides Five, know who they are or are taking steps to figure out who they are. She is the only one who knows absolutely nothing about herself, she's the only puzzle piece that doesn't make sense. One, Two, Three, Four, and Six where all hired for a job and are apart of the crew, Five was most likely a stowaway, and Seven... Seven is the only one who has no explanation. 

So Seven plugged the thumb drive into her computer, and a few moments later the information about her, popped up on screen.
