After two months of training, I was able to do whatever I wanted with my power. After killing hundreds of crewmates, Gray upgraded me from an Impostor to his second in command, telling me that it was the second highest position.
I used a special bracelet that Gray gave me to teleport down to polus. Narrowing my eyes, I snapped my fingers and I instantly turned invisible. Sneaking along the hallway, I searched for my first victim. My eyes caught a distinct color. Red. The crewmate had his back to me and was trying to connect wires. Turning visible, I walked behind him and tapped his shoulder. He turned around, his eyes instantly widening for a second before he started running.
I shot a short purple thorn made out of my magic at his retreating body. I wasn't to kill him, though. Gray wanted information. A second before the thorn touched his body I turned it into a net. Teleporting over to the crewmate, I scooped up the net with his body and teleported to the base.
It was a flash of white for a second before I appeared in the glass dome. Choosing the biggest tunnel, I entered the throne room. Appearing before Gray, I dropped the net and the Crewmate hit the ground with a thud.
"What do you want from me?" He asked, his voice shaking.
"Answers." I replied. I took the bracelet off and dragged the crewmate to Gray's throne room. Two guards approached. When they saw who I was they both bowed down and continued walking along the corridor. I entered the throne room and saw a couple of guards standing on both sides of a red velvet carpet.
"Mike! I see your back with some loot!"
"Yessir."
"Well as a reward," Gray said, motioning for his guards to bring in a set of armor that looked like what he was wearing. "I have a set of royal armor prepared for you!"
The armor was gold and shiny. When I put it on, it was as light as a feather, but very strong. I put on a helmet and a mask that allowed me to breathe.
"New technology created by our scientists."
"Thank you sir."
"Let's interrogate the crewmate now. Leave your spacesuit here."
