Chapter 27 - Go Home Protocol

(S1:E6)
Ethan walks into the observation deck.

"Alright, here comes William, in three, two.." Javier says but then electricity crackles around you and Michelle. You yelp in surprise while she curses.

"No more fires inside the spaceship, please." She begs.

"We have got to get him back now." Ethan tells Javier.

Jason walks in.

"How's your head?" Ethan asks him.

"Zayn gave me the all-clear. Where are the engine readings?"

"Same place William is. Ships system is down." You tell him.

"From one fire?" Michelle asks. "No-brains assholes who designed this tin pile better pray they never meet me in the dark-"

"Everything's connected, Michelle." Javier tells her.

"Like my foot wants to connect with your ass?"

Ethan pinch the bridge of his nose. "Jason, you and I'll go to engineering and see if there's any damage."

"Uh, I'll take Michelle."

You and Michelle look at Jason and Ethan, confused. Ethan gives him an unimpressed expression.

"I mean, you should be here, right? For when William comes back online. Unless that's the wrong call?"

"No. You and Michelle. Good. Go."

They leave and you look at Ethan, he gives you a tired look and shake his head.

...

After having made contact with the alien artefact on that moon, Sasha has begun to hallucinate a version of himself and it starts to torment him.

...

August is working on what caught fire in the shuttle bay. She gasps when she finds a small alien, it's burned dead.

"You little bugger."

"What is that?" Oliver asks.

"One of those bugs from that moon?"

"The little stowaway must've chewed its way into the diagnostic unit, shorted a wire." August says. "Ethan, I found this the source to all our problems."

"Just tell me you can fix it." He tells her through the comms from the observation deck.

"Well, now that I know what caused it, we're one step closer."

They whip their head to the sound of Sasha yelling. "Shut up!" He yelled at the hallucination that was talking to him. They frown confused as he just walks past them, heading for the med lab.

Sasha seeks medical help from Zayn, who runs a few tests and gives him advice on meditation.

...

Michelle and Jason are working down in engineering, in the particle accelerator room. Michelle asks if Jason remembers when he tried teaching her how to parallel park on a rover on Mars and they both have a laugh. She senses what's wrong with Jason.

"Listen, just forget about Ethan, okay?He's upset. Big deal." She shrugs. "He'll get over it." Michelle tells him.

"Michelle, you don't understand. I said things to him. Things I shouldn't have said." He sighs. "Just the drugs on that moon, and it was like everything.. came flooding out and I just.."

"Well, like what exactly?"

"I called him a micromanager.. a coward.. and I may have.. at some point.. insinuating that he's completely psychotic."
