Purple gleefully followed blue. "Don't you still have to start up the reactor ?" He asked. "Yeah but...with yellow hurt and all, and a potential impostor among us, I don't wanna be alone." Purple explained. "Unless it's with you." She added.
"What?"
"What?" They continued walking in silence.

"Red's here." Julie said suddenly. Pink looked at her quizzically. "Wha-" "PINK!" Red exclaimed. Pink screamed and kicked him in the chest, knocking the wind out of him and sending him to the floor.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry Red!" She helped him up. "It's fine Pinky. But I need a favor." Pink raised an eyebrow. "I'm not signing your petition to get a massage chair for the Skeld."
"No this is important Pinky. I need you to watch the cameras and call me immediately if you see Cyan do anything even mildly suspicious."
Pink reluctantly agreed, making Red promise to at least give her a warning next time he materialized out of thin air.
Pink watched red leave, then turned to Julie. She was wearing Red's helmet. "I'm red now."

Brown watched yellow. He hadn't woken up yet. This was all his fault. He didn't think that his alien pet did this, but he still felt like this was somehow his fault. He couldn't shake the awful feeling of dread.
And Cyan couldn't seem to shake Red. He hadn't been very subtle with his shadowing. He literally tripped over a box in storage, causing a bunch of crap to fall on him.
She just watched him with a dead expression as he tripped over himself, causing more stuff to fall.
She would've killed him, but he had warned the others, and if he died suddenly they'd suspect her immediately. So she'd just have to hope he gave up. He wouldn't.
Lime walked into admin, and what he saw made him spit out his coffee.
"Dude what the fuck?!"
Red was standing in front of a bulletin board filled with pictures of cyan with red string attaching them.
"Its all connected...everything is coming together!"
Lime just stood there, dumbfounded. "You need help. Like professional help. Lots of it. This isn't a one man job. I'm talking seven therapists a week."
Red turned to him, a manic grin spreading across his face. "You can call me insane all you want, I'll prove Cyan is an impostor! You'll all see!"

It took a while, but blue convinced purple to actually DO her tasks, with the promise that he'd stay with her the whole time.
"My hero!" She said dramatically, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I already regret this."
The pair arrived at electrical. "Ok, I just have to divert some power to shields and we'll be all done, Babe." Purple said cheerfully.
"Wait what?" Blue asked. Purple froze. "Blue. I said blue."
She walked over to the back of electrical, avoiding eye contact with blue. Blue whistled while he waited. Suddenly the door closed shut behind him.
That was weird. He tried opening it but the access button wasn't working. "All done Blueberry!" Purple came over to blue. "The door won't open." he explained. "We're stuck in here." She leaned closer to him. "Alone." She added, smirking.
Blue's face flushed, and he took a step back. "Yeah, whatever." He walked over to the vent near the corner of the room. "RED! Red you in there?!"
When he didn't get an answer, he cursed under his breath. "Guess we're stuck in here for a while, huh." Purple said, trying to sound disappointed to hide her excitement.
"Yeah." Blue replied, purposefully avoiding her gaze. Purple wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him closer. "Oh how tragic! Locked in a room together! Just us! Alone! Together! Alone! Oh the tragedy!"
"Y-yeah, whatever."

Red was still following cyan around. Finally, she stopped and turned around.
"Red you got a crush on me or something? What's up with the stalking?"
Red narrowed his eyes at her. "Orange had a crush on you. But after what you did to him I doubt he still does." Cyan wasn't phased by the comment.
"Why do you think I did it?" She said calmly, blinking innocently. Red just laughed.
"I'm not explaining my suspicions to an IMPOSTOR! With an O."
Lime poked his head out of o2. "You said the words out loud! You don't need to clarify the spelling!"
"I'm in a confrontation with the murdered lime, shut it!" Red yelled back. When Red turned back to Cyan, she was gone. "Uh oh."

Pink and Julie we're still watching cams when the door shut. That's odd. Before pink could get up to investigate, the vent popped open and black goo came out of it. The goo morphed into Cyan.
"Red was right!"
Cyans stomach opened to reveal a sharp tongue. It shot at pink but she moved in time and it hit the computer screen behind her.
Julie screamed. Black heard it, and without thinking ran to Security.
Black kicked the door. "Julie! Julie I'm coming!" Lime and brown showed up, but they couldn't open the door.
"Julie honey get behind me." Pink instructed. Julie ran behind her leg. Cyan slowly stepped toward her.
"Seemed like this vessel was a good friend of yours. Shame I have to kill you in her body."
"Red's here." Julie said. Cyan looked behind her to see red standing over the vent. "I fricking knew it!"
She shot her tounge at him, which he dodged. It hit the wall. He pulled out the knife he brought from the kitchen and stabbed it.
Cyan screamed. It roared. It sounded like a roar. Cyan lunged at Red, slamming him into the wall. She punched him and he dropped the knife.
Pink pulled her off of him and she elbowed her in the stomach, before grabbing her by the throat and lifting her up.
"Bye bye pink." Cyan said, before plunging Red's knife into her abdomen. Cyan morphed into goo and slipped into the vent.
The door opened.
