"We should go to electrical" you declare

"What?!" Cyan squeaks "We can't go there-"

"We're all together, right? Three of us- the imposter won't kill anyone if there's a witness, surely?" You debate

Taking a deep breath in, Cyan summons as much courage as possible before quietly nodding in agreement.

"Okay" Red says shakily. "Let's go"

You go down through storage, then turn right to get to electrical.

Fiddling with the switches, you eventually direct the power to the upper engine.

Next, you get to work on fixing the wires. Before realising that they are colour coded, you give yourself an electrical shock as you connect a blue and a yellow wire together. Sparks fly, and Red rushes to your side. It hurt quite a lot, but you're fine. After finishing the wires, a notification pings on your tablet. You also need to fix the wires in storage. First, you decide you need to finish up here by calibrating the distributor.

"I'm done" Cyan declares.

"Same" Red agrees.

"I just need to-" you begin, before sighing as you get again hit the third button at the wrong time "this stupid thing..."

All of a sudden, an alarm goes off, red lights flashing from all around. At first you panic, thinking that another person has died, but you realise it sounds different this time

'Oh no', you think, gasping, 'I didn't break the distributor did I?'

"THE REACTOR!" Red yells over the blaring alarm "IT'S OVERHEATING!"

"What?!" Cyan yelps in fear

The three of you skid out through the hallways to reactor. You all go to the control panel, and Red places their hand on the panel

Reactor meltdown in 5 seconds

"Why isn't it working?" Cyan whines

"GUYS! THE OTHER PANEL!" Green calls, racing into reactor, breathing heavily. Noticing the other panel on the other side of the room, you shoot over and slam your hand onto the scanner. With one second remaining, the reactor stabilises.

However, the alarm continues. Or, rather, a different alarm begins.

"Not again-" Green gasps, looking down at his tablet.

Noticing this, you glance down towards your own tablet.

Dead body reported.

Everyone heads straight to the cafeteria.

"Where?" Cyan asks, sitting down.

"Where's Blue?" Green asks worriedly, scanning the room for his 'friend'

"Orange and Blue. They were in navigation" Brown declares.

"AND?!" Black shivers

"What?" Green gasps

"Why Blue? She was good at keeping the team together!" You sigh

"And Orange" Yellow says sadly, "Orange was the best detective"

"But Orange didn't catch anyone?" Brown says, confused

Yellow shakes his head "he was always so logical about everything. I think that if he had more time, he would have found them" Yellow clenches his hands into tight fists, switching his gaze between each crewmate.

"So we vote?" Brown asks

"No. Discussion first" Green reminds him

"I was with Red and Cyan" you say

"Yeah. We were in electrical" Cyan agrees

"The same place Lime died?" Pink asks suspiciously "that takes guts. Unless you know you're not going to get killed..." she accuses

"I guess, but they all went to fix the reactor" Green debates

"That could have done that to win over your trust" Brown suggests

"Maybe they're innocent though" Black intervenes

"But you're normally with Blue, right?" Yellow accuses Green

"Yeah, but I went to fix the reactor" Green defends, "what about you? And Black and Brown and Pink. Why didn't you help the reactor?"

"Well someone else was going to do it though? And surely the imposter broke it on purpose? I mean that is unlikely to be an accident" Brown accuses, "So they were trying to lure you there"

"Or they were trying to lure people away from navi as they're on the opposite side of the map" Pink offers

"Yeah, that's why they attacked there. So you should all go to fix the reactor next time" Yellow agrees

"Next time?" Brown says, "that's sus. How do you know there will be a next time?"

"I mean if there is a next time" Yellow defends.

"Well I was in admin" Brown declares. "Wait a sec- you're normally with Orange, right? Its you Yellow!"

"But there's two, right?" You remind them. "There must be two imposters"

"At least" Black says skeptically, looking towards you, Cyan and Red

"CYAN IS BEING REALLY QUIET!" Pink declares

"But you're pointing fingers everywhere" Green says

"I'm just trying to help" Pink complains

"Green now you're accusing everyone" Yellow glares

"YOU'RE NORMALLY WITH ORANGE!" Green protests

"YOU'RE ALWAYS WITH BLUE!" Yellow growls

"Guys, calm down!" Black yells "this is getting way too heated"

"Let's just vote already and get this over with?" Red offers

"Okay" Brown agrees "but what if Yellow is right and you helped the sabotage to win our trust. How else were you so close to it? Some pretty big coincidence... and I'd never step into electrical voluntarily!"

"But you said you thought Yellow was the imposter!" Green says, "I think you were right"

"But it's better to just skip, right?" Black intervenes

"I think it's Red" Brown confidently declares, his eyes burning into Red.
