In 2 days, everything went back to normal. It was as if no one died. Everyone slowly started to forget about Brown. If they were in a situation like this 2 or 3 decades back everything would have been different, but since the Apocalypse happened, people started to change for the worst. Showing no emotions, little to no empathy, in a few more decades humans would become unrecognizable, they would lose all the factors that make them 'human'

"Fixing those wires in electrical was very hard" Yellow walked into the main hall to be greeted by Cyan and Lime.

"I fixed it last night" Lime stated. "Why was it damaged?" she scratched her head.

"The other day the files didn't download, I kept trying but it failed" Yellow said.

"Why?" Cyan asked.

"Cause it's a rusty old place" Red walked in, wiping his hands. "The fuel was almost in danger level and we didn't get any alert, if I hadn't noticed we all would have been in danger"

"Why is everyone so careless around here?" Black walked in, followed by Orange and Purple.

"What? Careless?" Cyan scrunched her nose.

"Yes. Orange and Purple noticed a malfunction and fixed it." Black said crossing his arms.

"Pfft. Show off." Lime coughed. "I mean good work"

Are Orange and Purple like best friends now?

"We are doing our best sir" Yellow stood straight fixing his posture. 'geez is the military?' Red rolled his eyes.

"If you were doing your best, you wouldn't be sitting here and having a tea party, now get to work"

"It's not tea, it's juice" Cyan mumbled hoping no one would hear her. To her dismay someone heard her, she heard a small snicker beside her, she turned to look at Red who was trying to control his smile. Well, that was the first time he genuinely smiled. Cyan grinned at Red who kept his eyes focused on the walls trying to maintain a straight face.

"You can take a short break if you want" Black looked at Orange and Purple as he dismissed the rest of them.

"This is unfair" Cyan huffed as she walked with Red.

"Why are you walking with me?" Red questioned.

"Let's work together" Cyan smiled.

"Why?"

"Cause I want to be your friend, can I know your name?" she pouted.

"Absolutely not" he looked away.

"Why not?"

"Cause I said so" Red stressed.

"Anyway, what's your specialty?" Cyan asked ignoring the other's comment.

Red sighed, Cyan is not going to leave him alone. "Weapons and electrical I guess"

"Woah !! I'm bad at both" Cyan marveled.

"cool"

"If you are specialized in weapons, were you also trained in combat?" she asked despite noticing Red's disinterest.

"Yes"

"That's so cool !! Have you met any Imposter? Have fought any?"

"No, besides not all Imposters are bad, It's just what we are made to believe"

"You can't be sure" she shook her head.

"I can be if I stay away from them"

"How old are you?"

"Oh my god !! Is this an interrogation?" he rolled his eyes walking faster.

"I just wanna know If you are older than me" she ran behind him trying to catch up with his long legs.

"I'm 20" Red muttered.

"Woah! I'm 21, I'm older than you !!" Cyan patted his head. "You can consider me as a senior and ask me anything you want!"

"Leave and do your job" he swat her hands away.

"but--" she started.

"See ya later blue" Red walked away.

"It's Cyan" she mumbled to herself.

Soon everyone was done with their work for the day. Cyan got to the main hall to see Orange reading a file.

"Whatcha, doin' " she plopped beside him.

"Work," Orange said, his eyes fixed on the file.

"Boring!" she yelled and left the hall.

On the other extreme end of the hallway was White and the other two seniors."Is everything going according to plan?" White questioned.

"Yes, but there are some problems and malfunctioning, besides that everything's fine" Black reported.

"Everything will be smooth in a couple of days, they'll get used to it" Pink assured.

"The sooner the better" White nodded.

Yellow was happily rummaging through the kitchen storage.

"What are you doing?" a voice interrupted him.

"Hey, Lime! c'mon check this out, it's so cool right?" Yellow opened a box excitedly.

"What is it?" Lime went near him.

"Some kind of powder for instant shakes and foods!" he said with wide eyes. "They sent all the cool stuff to space, we don't have anything like this on earth, it's such a shame"

"It's just food"

"Correction, It's super cool food" he giggled. "we'll try this out someday I bet it tastes as yummy as it looks"

"Cool" Lime smiled. "Now go get some rest, we have a long day tomorrow"

.

.

That was the end of the third day. 27 more days to survive.
