Recently Two had been having some symptoms, she was scared and unsure how to act so she kept it a secret from her crew. She would experience dizziness and her hand uncontrollably shaking. She was able to keep it a secret for a while, but it was inevitable that eventually her crew would find out about this. She just didn't know it would be so soon..

"Hey, Two are you there? We need you at the mess Three is at it again.." Five spoke calmly in comms but began worrying once she got no reply from Two.

 "Two, hello? Are you there?" Five asked again this time in a more louder and concerned tone. 

She turned to the rest of the crew and tried speaking in a calmly manner "I'll go checkup on Two, I'm sure it's nothing." She said with a small smile as she left the mess and began walking to Two's quarters. 

Once she arrived she noticed the door was closed, being mindful Five knocked on the door and spoke "Hey Two are you there? You weren't answering your comms." 

She waited for a few seconds but couldn't stop herself from opening the door I hope she forgives me. Five thought to herself. 

"Hey Two you weren't answering your comms so I thought I'd come see you, I didn't mean to intrude but I-." Five stopped talking as she stared down to the floor and saw Two laying there unconscious. 

Five let out a terrified scream "HELP! SOMEONE COME TO TWO'S QUARTER SHES PASSED OUT!" She yelled through the comms as the crew quickly made their way to Two's quarters.

2 Hours later:

Two finally woke up on the boibed while she was being scanned by the machine, she was still feeling dizzy and her memory was foggy. 

"W-what happened?" Two asked as she sat up groggily rubbing her eyes and breathing heavily.

 "You were passed out in your quarters Two." Five spoke up with a frown on her face "Something is obviously wrong with you, we can tell." Five said still frowning unable to maintain eye contact with Two.

 "What are you on about, I'm sure everything's okay Five." Two spoke reassuringly even though she knew deep down something was wrong. 

"Two, unfortunately your nanties are in critical condition.." The Android spoke up. 

"What do you mean Android?" Two asked seemingly worried

 "Two.. Your dying.." Android said conveying some sort of empathy for Two.

 "Wait what!? How is that even possible!?" Three spoke up his voice filled with anger and confusion as he walked in. 

"Two, your nanites are what keep you alive however with their current condition I'd say you only have 1-2 days left." The Android said bluntly

 "Well isn't it possible that Rook may have already come up with a solution for it?" Two asked her voice filled with hope. 

"It's possible the Dwarf Star Technologies have already come up with a solution and the only way to know for sure is to infiltrate it. However it may not be safe for Two to make entry as she is well-known and would easily be recognized by the staff." The Android said in her usual robotic tone.

 "Alright great then, me and six will enter the place and we'll find a way to gain access to the research labs." Three said in an excited tone while pointing at himself and at Six, trying to lighten the mood.
