We went back to our tasks. It was normal the whole day. Okay, I didn't know if it was a day or not back on Earth. We don't see a day by day to night. We see it by task to task. I had done enough tasks, and I was tired. So, the day is over. I went to sleep.

The next day, it was normal so far. I cleaned the oxygen filter, connected the wiring and diverted power to Security. I was going to empty the trash when I heard sirens.
"EVERYBODY OXYGEN HAS BEEN SABOTAGED. IN 1 MINUTE, OUR OXYGEN SUPPLY WILL BE CUT. GO TO ADMIN AND O2 AND ENTER THE CODE TO RESTORE OXYGEN. LEAVE ALL YOUR TASKS NOW!"
I headed towards Admin and entered the code, while Pink guarded me. I was just done, when I heard a vent open, a scream.
"PINK!" I shouted.
"Red, the impostor is here! Continue entering the code I will guard you, the Impostor is..." And another scream, as the impostor devoured Pink. I was still entering the code. One second delay and it could be the whole crew's doom.
I looked back and saw the vent close. It was a dark color.
I sobbed as I saw Pink's body, a heroine. I hit the report button.
"Attention Crewmates! An emergency meeting has been called."

"What happened?", "And  where is Pink?" they asked.
Then they all saw the look on my face.
"No, no, NO!" said Sadie. I looked at her. Her eyes were full of sadness, but mainly rage.
"How did she die?" she asked. 
"She tried to protect me from the impostor, I couldn't look back to see." I said.
"She died, foolishly when she could have ran away," Black asked.
"Black, she died a hero. If she didn't protect Red, we would be dead by now!" Yellow said, shocked.
"Hmph," Black said.
"Any suspects, Red?" Green asked.
I noticed that White was really quiet. She was very sad.
"I was too late when I was done. I saw the vent close. I think it was a dark color, but it could be anybody," I said. "The vents are dark, making the color look dark. I am sorry, I have nothing to say."
Why was it a big deal if the vents closed? Anyone could have done that, right? Nope. The vents are too heavy, that only an Impostor can lift them.
"I don't believe Red. He could have killed and self-reported." said Black.
And just like that, Black voted for me.
"I am sorry, WHAT?" I said, astonished.
"You know, for once, I think Black is right." said Yellow. "That is suspicious,"
"For once!?" said Black.
Yellow voted for me.
"Black, I have been controlling this for a long time, but I have NEVER seen you do a task, and you're too rude." I said.
I voted Black.
"I believe James." said Sadie. 
"I trust Red too." said White.
White and Sadie, both voted for Black.
"I don't think we have a lot of information. I am skipping vote." said Cyan.
Green voted me.
3 votes for me, 3 votes for Black, 1 skip. 2 more people to vote, Brown and Purple.
Purple skipped, and so did Brown.
"It's a tie. Nobody is ejected." said Blue.
