Morbius opens the digital map on his tablet as he idly strolls through the halls of the Skeld, the fabric of his red suit bunching and his visor slightly fogging with each puff of his breath. He is almost done with his tasks, even this early in the game, since he is extremely efficient and intelligent. He notices a quick stop in electrical to knock off his last wires task before heading to security to stalk the cameras, and figures it would be beneficial to stop there on the way. He cautiously steps into the dark room, illuminated mainly by blinking lights on complicated machines, covered in various buttons and switches.

Although he is at ease in the dark, owing to the nocturnal blood flowing through his veins, Morbius still feels that something is off. He steps further into the room, carefully and skillfully avoiding the wires that lay tangled across the cool metal floor. He hears an awful squelch and a thump resounding from the leftmost corner of the room, and looks up to see a bloody mess of gore splattered across the walls, Eddie's lifeless body laying in two pieces on the ground, and finally, none other than Milo, brandishing a crimson stained knife, jumping into the vent.

Morbius dashes forward in haste, hoping he won't be the victim of a double kill, and hits the report button as soon as it graces his vision. He then sprints to the cafeteria and takes his place at the meeting table, watching as the others rush in, including Milo. Morbius can tell the other man is uneasy, unsure whether he had seen him vent, but Morbius is confident in his own vision.

"Where was the body?" demands the Vulture almost immediately.

"I found the gruesome scene in electrical, just as the culprit vented away." He starts off, and hears Milo's sigh of almost relief. He laughs inwardly, the fool thinks he's gotten away with it.

"Did you see who it was?" Spiderman asks anxiously, eyes flitting between the other remaining crewmates.

"It was you, Milo! You are the imposter!" He shouts dramatically, pointing at Milo with vigour. The others all dawn similar expressions of shock and disbelief, eyes following Morbius' outstretched hand to the guilty party himself.

Milo looks affronted, but the underlying sense of guilt and fear can be found in his eyes.

"NO! I AM NOT THE IMPOSTER! I'M NOT!" He bellows, rage evident in his voice, it is unconvincing.

Morbius crosses his arms cooly and replies epicly, "Then why don't I see you Morbing? Hm?" Everyone gasps as the bombshell of a revelation is revealed. They all join Morbius in pointing.

Tears well up in Milo's eyes as he tries in vain to convince the crew of his innocence. "No! I am! I am a Marvel legend!" he cries.

"No you are NOT! I am." Morbius finishes with a tone of finality and locks in his vote on the tablet. Everyone begins to clap and they all follow suit in voting.

Milo is voted out and he is the imposter.


Morbius has won.
