Quickly Seven took the thumb drive from the computer, startled at what she read. Discovering who she is...was. She had a family, a brother, and they're dead. They're dead because she joined a GA school called the Academy, that experimented on her. They experimented on her, and turned her into a weapon with insane abilities, and a collapsing mental state. 

Tears flowed from her eyes, and she silently cried. 

She's glad that her memory is wiped, because if it wasn't she'd be more insane than she is now, and she doesn't think that she'd be able to handle the memories of what she had gone through. But, what is she supposed to do now? Should she tell Two? Five? The rest of the crew?

No.

Seven takes the thumb drive from the desk top and climbs onto her chair. Above her desk is a vent. Seven opens the vent and sticks the thumb drive to the side of the vent opening (She doesn't want Five to find it if she ever comes crawling through). Then Seven feels that some of the crew has arrived back to the ship, and quickly she closes the vent cover, hops down from her chair, and wipes the tears from her face. 

She walks out of her room, and walks down the hallway towards Six's room. As she's walking the rest of the crew (minus Six) all turn down the hallway and walk towards her. They all stop in front of Six's room. Immediately Seven knows what's wrong, but doesn't say anything as Two explains what's going on. She has to be more careful in what she says to the crew.

"Six left the station in something called Transfer Transit, and we don't know why. We're going to search his room for answers, come on," two says walking into the room, motioning for everyone to follow.

"Are you sure we should be going through his stuff?" Five asks as they enter his room.

"Pretty sure, yeah," One answers.

"It's not right, it's an invasion of privacy," Five tells them. 

"You didn't have a problem invaliding my privacy when you stole my bullets," Three tells her, walking past her.

"That was different. I thought you were dangerous... Look, I didn't want to get him in trouble, I just thought it was weird that he was keeping something from us. That maybe he needed our help."

Then Three yells, "I knew it!" He stands up holding items he took from Six's closet, "He's been hoarding the green not-as-crap-tastic protein bars! He said we were out! I got stuck eating the blue ones. They taste fishy!"

Then attention is brought over to Four. He's sitting at Six's computer and made a noise of interest.

"What've you got?" Two asks walking over to him.

Four tries to input a password but nothing works. The crew gathers around the computer and tries to figure our what Six would use for a password. They keep getting the wrong one, they decide that they need to find a way to bypass the password. This causes them to all turn to Five (who they all know could hack into his computer), but Five never gets the chance because Seven pushes past Four and types something into the password bar. Moments later the computer unlocks, Seven steps away, and everyone has different reactions. Before anyone could ask her how in the world she knew what Six's password was, Five sees something on his desk top.

"Wait, what's that?"

Five pushes past everyone and takes a seat at the desk. She goes through the files on the computer and clicks on a few things, revealing what Six had discovered about himself.

"He was researching a terrorist attack on some space station. A lot of people were killed."

Five then clicks on a video, the crew watches the video of a newscaster, "Breaking news. We have an update on the bombing of Station Hyadum Twelve by the anti-corporate terrorist group calling itself the Procyon Insurrection. Over ten thousand lives were lost in the attack and today, investigators released the following video." The image changes to a security feed, "Security footage uploaded to the GA hub before the station's destruction clearly shows one of the suspects believed to be responsible for the bombing." A clear image of Six appears on the screen. "If you see this man, do not attempt to apprehend him, but call your nearest GA detachment immediately."
