Meme checked his list and made sure to bring all the Medbay supplies. When he was done, he went back out to cafe. He saw Laff, Joocie, Blaza, and Woolf sitting at a table. He joined them.

Laff: Hey Meme.

Meme: Hey guys, are you all done?

Blaza: Yeah, we've all finished so now were just waiting.

Meme: Does anyone know how much time we have left?

Woolf: About 20 minutes.

Meme: Ugh, I'm so bored. I just wanna be on Polus.

Blaza: I'm pretty sure Socks came by earlier asking for help. Doubt he still needs it though.

Meme: Hm. Well I'll go check.

Meme got up from his seat and walked to Nav. He didn't know where he was, so he just guessed where to go. When he got to Nav he didn't see him, but instead he saw a green spaceman.

Dino: Hey Meme, do you need something?

Meme: No, I was looking for Socks.

Dino: Well he hasn't been in here.

Meme: Thought so, what task did you get from the EC?

Dino: I have to get the maps. Most are in Nav so that's why I'm here. Right now I'm triple checking that I have everything.

Meme: Well we only have like 20 minutes left so you don't have to do this for much longer.

Dino: Well that's good.

Meme: It is. I'm gonna go now, see ya later.

Meme walked out of Nav as he waved Dino bye. Meme decided to walk to Coms, when he got there he saw his favorite orange spaceman, hunched over a box. He was very focused as he went down the list checking all the items in the box. 

Meme: Hey, need any help.

Socks looked up from the box and smiled.

Socks: Sure, I have a few more things to get. I don't know where they are though.

Meme: Let me see.

Meme walked over to Socks and put out his hand. Socks handed him the list. There were 4 things unmarked.

Socks: Everything without a check is what I need to find.

Meme: We should split it up. I'll find the LK drive and the charger for the BT radio.

Socks: Ok, I'll find the other 2 things.

Meme walked out of coms.

Meme's thought: Ok, these should both be in storage. 

Meme started to look through boxes labeled "thumb drives". With 4 minutes he found the exact one he needed. Next he looked in the radio boxes. It took him about 8 minutes to find the charger. When Meme found his two things, he headed back to coms. Socks wasn't there so he put the items into the box and left a note saying he found them. Then he got back to cafe. 

Laff: Hey Meme, we only have a few more minutes so you can just relax in here for now.

Meme: Okay.

Meme sat at a table with Blaza and TBH. Almost everyone was there. All but Socks and OOF. Speaking of, the two walked into the cafe and sat at Meme's table.

Socks: Thanks for the help.

Meme: Yeah no problem.

Laff stood up and spoke to everyone.

Laff: Okay, since everyone is here I'll speak to you all now. As you know Polus is VERY cold so be careful. Also, we can't fool around since this is a new planet. We will set up a base and test that everything works. That should only take 2 hours, but after that you all may explore with someone else. No one is allowed to be alone. Stay safe.

Intercom: ALERT! YOU HAVE LANDED ON POLUS! TEMPERATURE DROP WILL BE SEVER! ALERT!

Nadwe: I guess we've landed.

Everyone ran to their boxes and eagerly waited for the doors to open. Laff typed in a code and ta-da, the doors opened an icey planet waited for them. The cold air hit their faces and they shivered, but that didn't stop their enthusiasm. They walked off the ship and put down the boxes. They began examining the new planet closely. 

Laff: Everyone start unpacking your boxes.

The crew did so. Meme decided that Medbay should be on the right side of their base, so that's where he started to set up. While he worked on Medbay, OOF and TBH worked on the lab. He put down some beds and his scanner. He plugged everything in to make sure it was working. He set up his desk and organized the files. In all it took about 1 hour and 34 minutes to set up. He wen't to find Socks to see if he needed help.

Meme: I'm gonna go find Socks to see if he needs help, bye.

OOF: Stay safe, bye.

Meme walked back to the main ship to see if Socks was there, he wasn't.

Meme's thought: Hm, Socks isn't here and neither are any of his boxes. He must be unpacking them. He has electronics so maybe security? But where is security? Oh well, I'm just gonna look around till I find him.

Meme decided to head left of the base. He ran into Blaza on his way.

Blaza: Hey dude! Did you finish seating up?

Meme: Yeah, I've just been looking for Socks, seen him?

Blaza: Oooooo so you guys are better now?

Meme: What?

Blaza: You know since you two are....more the friends..

Meme: And where did you hear this?

Blaza: From Socks, which by the way is down that hall and to the right.

Meme: Oh, well.. thanks for letting me know. Talk to you later I guess.

Meme walked pass the yellow spaceman and headed to Socks. When he got to security, he saw him setting up a camera system.

Meme: Hey Socks, need any help?

Socks: Oh hey Meme, sure sure. Come over here.

Meme walked up to Socks and pulled up a chair to sit next to him.

Meme: So what are you doing?

Socks: Just making sure the cameras work. I have one set up in every room on the base.

Meme: Wow that's, impressive. Hey I gotta ask you something.

Socks: What is it?

Meme: I'm not mad or anything, but did you tell Blaza about us?

Socks: Oh yeah, I did. I was gonna tell you but we got in an argument so it was kinda hard.

Meme: It's okay, you guys are really good friends so its understandable that you would want him to know.

Socks: Thank God you're not mad, I knew you were gonna know eventually but I was scared you would be pissed.

Meme: No need to worry, by the way when does the "do whatever you say for a day" thingy start?

Socks stood up and smiled. He kissed the top of Memes head.

Socks: It already has.

Socks walked out of security.
