Black was worried.
He knew Polus had been taken over by impostors recently. And if Blue was in Polus, he wouldn't live a minute. Polus was the most terrifying place, for Crewmates and Impostors alike.
He had heard that sometimes, since there were no crewmates that dared get close to the planet, impostors would eat each other. And if the impostors knew that Black had been hanging out with -- even protecting -- a crewmate, he'd be eaten alive. And with the state he was in, it wouldn't be too hard.
Black opened the door and walked out. Everywhere he looked, there were impostors doing seemingly normal things, like playing with a ball, teaching others to kill, and doing gun practice. They didn't even notice Black walking about and admiring this place, wishing he had grown up here.
If he had grown here, maybe he wouldn't be so soft. Maybe he'd be able to kill Blue.
Then again, if he had killed Blue, there wouldn't have been anyone to support him as he blacked out. He would have easily been ejected.
Maybe being a soft impostor wasn't so bad after all.
Just as he sat down to consider that, the world swirled away around him, until he was in a pitch-black room.
He sat there, looking around in confusion. New impostor technology, maybe? Was Black dying? Was it all just a dream?
Then, the world swirled into a vast field full of flowers. A small Black impostor and two Grey adult impostors were sitting in a field.
"Hey baboo," one parent cooed to the child. The child squeaked in happiness. The two parents exchanged joyful glances. The other parent reached behind their back and pulled out a knife.
"Here's a knife of your very own, son!" The parent said gleefully. The child opened it's mouth wide and began laughing joyfully. The parents looked at each other and smiled, one parent pulling the child into their lap.
Then, suddenly, Black jolted awake. He was sprawled across the floor, as close to the seats as possible, and the chain barely ran slack. If Black scooted back just a little, the chain would go straight and tight.
Thank the stars! he thought in immense relief.
Blue was sitting in the drivers seat of the ship. He turned around, hearing Blacks movement. His face blanched in horror.
