Since it was already half past one in the afternoon on their starting day, it was decided that Seville and Honey would go ahead and finish up their shift until four. The other ten squad members left them alone in the control room to go find their bags in the cargo area of the vast ship which was the size of a small town just for them. They were then to grab their belongings and carry them to the rooms on the other side of the ship which were labeled with their colors, since the admins at the Garden did not bother to call them by the names they had each chosen for themselves. 

Red, Pink, Yellow, Green, Lime, and White were the rooms labeled on one side of the hallway. Purple, Black, Orange, Blue Cyan, and Brown were the rooms on the other side. Even in space they were divided into sides with girls on one side and the boys on the other. Only this time they did not have to adhere to the rules they were subjected to in the garden.

The ten others reached the back part of the ship by the fuel station and saw their bags all piled up on top of each other. Ignoring the clearly labeled bedrooms on one side of the ship, Ivory was the first to go with Cedar, both of them entering the bedroom labeled Brown. They were one of the already established couples in the group. No one said anything to them, mostly because they didn't really care what the two of them did, or anyone for that matter. As captains and co captains, the only thing Raven, Roseanne, and Scarlet were concerned about was everyone getting their tasks done without a problem. Everyone had daily, weekly, and monthly tasks that they needed to complete.

Scarlet, Mauve, and Ciel went to their respective rooms and everyone assumed Seville and Honey would share a room together since they were in a relationship. Olive went to the door labeled Green on the girls side of the dorm hallway, and Indy followed behind her like a lost puppy, stopping dead in his tracks when she turned around to face him. He was nearly a whole foot taller, yet towered over her goofily. There was nothing hostile about Indy, Roseanne thought to herself with a smile as she saw them interact. He was like a little boy with a crush. In an attempt to forget Ivory, he had told Roseanne that he thought Olive was cute and he was going to focus all of his attention on her. 

Olive looked up at him with a shy smile and asked. "What are you doing?" 

"We're sharing a room." He said jokingly. 

She gave a shake of her head, still finding the whole thing amusing. "I don't think so. Go over there." She pointed across the hall at the door labeled Blue. 

He frowned and pretended to be heartbroken before he walked the six foot distance across the hall to his own door. Their key to the room was their belt buckle on their uniform. They had two uniforms for every day use, and the space suits for extraction use once they reached the asteroid belt. But they were also to be used in case of emergency. For the rest of the day they had their official uniforms which they were to wear during their shifts guarding the ship, then they had their lounging uniforms for use the rest of the day, and finally their sleeping clothes. There were several more changes for them in the storage area and they were supposed to dispose of the old uniforms in the trash schute. 

Having Raven's buckle around herself, since they had switched while they were still in the Garden, Roseanne went to his door and unlocked it. As she turned to walk away towards her own room door, he reached for her hand to stop her. She looked up at him with expecting eyes as he said, "I thought you and I could share my room together."

A smile formed on her lips as she replied. "Sure."

But the moment they set one foot in their new bedroom, they heard shouting from the room next door. It was like nails on a chalk board to them, Ivory yelling at Cedar about where to put away their stuff. Surely she was just sitting on the bed barking commands at him and not actually helping. That was when they realized they were sharing a wall with the two of them and they gathered their things before even setting them down. "Lets just use your room instead." Raven offered. He quickly added, "We can use this room as like a storage closet or something. But I don't think I could spend the next ten years sharing a wall with them."
