You shake your head.

"No. Although Purple hurt me, I know that Purple was in security. Purple is a bully, but not a murderer. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else again. We know she didn't kill Lime. It's pointless killing any more of our crew." You shakily declare. "I'm going to do my tasks with Red and Cyan, so Purple won't bother me again." You add, and Blue seems okay with that.

Cyan enters with a box of textiles type things, and gets to work fixing the hole in the knee of your suit. It actually looks pretty good after.

"Thank you Cyan. That's really neat"

"No problem!" Cyan beams. "Also I got medical training, so I guess I've had a lot of practice stitching things up" Cyan laughs

"Sooo what's the plan?" Red asks Cyan

"Well Blue says that we should continue doing tasks then have dinner at 6:00. So we don't have much time at all really."

"Ok. And neither of you are leaving my sight." Red concluded.

"Thank you" Cyan laughs.

You head about doing tasks together then head up to the cafeteria for dinner, with no more tragedies. You are allowed to take your helmets off for this (after decontamination just to be safe). You can never be too safe.

Never.

You notice Purple shooting you dirty looks from across the table. What's her problem? You said no to ejecting her!

Red also notices the glares being thrown across the room. You see Red staring straight at Purple, unblinkingly maintaining eye contact until she looks away. After that, Red moves their chair closer to yours just to make it clear to Purple that she is not to mess with you. After that, Purple doesn't go near you for the rest of the evening. You feel kind of relieved.

Time passes quickly and it's time for each crewmate to go to their individual bedrooms. Saying goodnight to Red and Cyan, you head off.

Tossing and turning, you eventually drift off into a dreamless sleep.

- time skip to morning -

You wake up early. Very early. You can just tell. It's unusual waking up to complete darkness. Then again, what's normal about being in space? You groan as you sit up. Your mouth is really dry, and you reach over to your left as you fumble around for your tablet which you put next to your bed. You see the time. 4:30?!
However you know that you will not be able to get back to sleep again.

Choice:

- stay put until the other crewmates go for breakfast (Page 69)
- go out and have a drink (70)
