No POV:

Sykkuno did his best to run from the crater but the moon's gravity slowed him quite a bit.

"Hey Sykkuno! What were you two talking about?" Rae asked as Sykkuno joined the channel the rest of the crew was on.
"Oh nothing... just, what we'll do after the mission." Sykkuno thought up quickly as he began helping Kaylie move a box out of storage.

"So what are you gonna do after the missions over?" Kaylie asked jokingly.
"Try and sleep for as long as I can." Corpse answered, his voice sounding demonic as he adjusted his comms to the right frequency.

"Oh, okay. Well can you come over and help me unload this?" She said, a little let down she didn't get a joking answer.

Corpse was approaching Rae to help her open up some boxes. She was just about to take the top off when he got there.
"Oh! Corpse! Your thing says your dead!" She shouted.
"Oh, might be a malfunction." He said calmly as he reached for the box's lid.

"Or your an alien!" She shouted again, pretending to be scared.
"Ahhh." Corpse sighed, he put up his hands and waved them back and forth.
"No. You should go get that fixed." Rae said as she brushed his hands away from the box.

"Fine. I kinda like the idea of people thinking I'm dead though." He responded while he walked up into the Skeld.

Corpse's POV:

I was walking up into the ship when I saw Hudson just, staring at me. Maybe he actually thought I was an alien, which... he would be correct, but something about him was off.

I made my way into the airlock and reset my suit's monitors and refilled my o2. I wonder why Sykkuno hasn't told them. I'm a threat, even if he sees me as a friend he should have told the others.

Sykkuno's POV:

I don't understand why Corpse would do that! Compromise whatever mission those aliens put him on and... smile at me. Why smile at me? Or scowl- I couldn't tell!

And why haven't I told anyone? The fist thing I should've done was scream "Corpse is an alien! Corpse is an alien!" But I didn't... do I care about hi- No! No no no no- I'm- he's a friend! That I have to lose... but I could help him... No! I need to-

I kept on rambling in my head about what just happened and what I should do, so it scared me when Toast came up behind me and tapped my shoulder.
"Hey Sykkuno... are... you okay?" He asked.

I just realized I had been staring at the trash compactor with my hand just sitting on the lever.
"Oh! Yeah..." I replied as I pushed the lever down and watched the trash fall down to... wherever the trash goes.

"Y'know, ever since Corpse pulled you away to talk you've been... off." He said worried.
"Off? No! No... I'm just, I'm scared." I half-admitted.
"Oh. Of the alien on board or...?" He questioned.

For, the alien on board. I thought as I turned from the trash to mark that task as done on my tablet.
"Yeah." I sighed.
"So you still think there is one onboard?" He questioned further.

"Oh! No I just..." I realized my mistake and Toast caught on.
"Do you think it was Ashley or no?" He asked.
"Yea- no... I thought about it and, I do think she might've been innocent." I lied, I'm not very good at doing that but I think he bought it.

"What if I told you I know who it is?" He remarked.
"What? Oh Jesus! Who is it?" I jumped at his words. Does he actually know or-

"No, I don't but I'm still investigating." He answered honestly.
"Oh, well I wish you good luck!" I said happily as Toast walked away. I waved him good bye.

Do I help the people I should help or the person I want to help? I thought as I sat at a table. Is there a way to do both?

"AAHHH!"
