The Solo Among Us Game!

Walking into the shuttle that would take him up to the Skeld, Felix immediately noticed how there were three large green containers sitting in the middle of the room. On one of the containers, was a laptop with its screen somehow on. Felix investigated it for a moment and recognised how it was detailing the spaceship he was going to: The Skeld. Looking over towards where he had come – ten blue seats lined the wall. Five on either side of the steel doors

Approaching the other container, Felix opened it to find a light blue suit similar to the one he wore in Among Us. Accompanying it, was a small white note with black writing on it. Quickly, he got into this light blue suit before proceeding to read the note as he went to sit in the blue seat – buckling himself in, as this might take a while.

"Welcome to our recreation of the Skeld from Among Us. We're sending you up there for maintenance, as it must be in working order before we can contact NASA to bring the Skeld back after years of service as well as bring home those two astronauts from the ISS. The Skeld's service is the main location of the game, that is. Good luck, and if successful – we'll gift you with a great reward. PS – Press the emergency button to activate the doors to the shuttle when you're done. Sincerely, Elizabeth Anderson and Michael Reeves."

Turning the paper over, Felix found another 'note': "Also – I told the Streamer Group to explore Minecraft. Wouldn't end well if they went with you, Felix."

As soon as he closed up the note, Felix noticed how the sign on the other side indicated that he had arrived. Followed by the sound of the doors opening. Knowing what this meant, Felix unbuckled his seatbelt before proceeding to put the note into the container. He then determined that it was time to enter the Skeld.

--

Entering the Skeld, Felix noticed how he had entered a Cafeteria. The five tables were arranged in an 'X' pattern, and in the middle of the table in the centre – was a red button in a clear case with yellow-and-black striped tape going around it. Knowing that he mustn't touch it until his tasks were complete, Felix proceeded to then look around for what he could do.

On each of the walls was a set of double doors that led towards 3 different areas: Weapons, Admin/Storage, and Engine. There was a vent on the wall by the Weapons door, a garbage chute just next to it, and on the other side – a screen with a tablet connected to it. On the other side of the room, was a box labelled 'Wiring' – but a note on it stated that he must go to Electricals first to 'activate' the door.

Felix proceeded to approach the garbage chute before taking a look to see if there was enough to be emptied. After looking at how much there was inside – Felix closed the hatch and pulled the lever. Silence, then a thunk could be heard as the chute was now empty, meaning that he could now move on to the next task – cleaning the vent before he could investigate that tablet.

Walking over to the vent, Felix noticed how it was filled with dust and leaves. Just next to it, in a small box, was a dustpan and brush. Picking them up, Felix knew what he must do as he began to clean it all out. Minutes went by, and the vent was finally clean – meaning that it was finally time to deal with the tablet before he could continue exploring the Skeld.

Approaching where the tablet was on a small pedestal, Felix noticed how the screen on the wall was saying: "Touch tablet screen to begin downloading data." Knowing what to do, that was when he began the download process.

After a few minutes had gone by, the download process was complete. With this in mind, Felix then set off with the tablet towards the next room: Weapons. If anyone asks – he'll go to Admin later to insert the data, and the garbage task is complete in this AU.

But for now – it was time to check Weapons.

--

The first thing that Felix noticed as he walked in, was how there was a small chair on top of a round platform in the middle of the room. In front of it, appeared to be a hologram with a singular controller just in front of it on a thin pedestal. On one wall, was a wiring box, while on the other side – was a path leading to a set of doors, and above it – was the name of the next room: Oxygen.

Approaching the char, Felix found a note. On studying it, it stated that next to the wiring box, there was a screen which he could download more data from. And that he could use the controller to blast some space junk if he wanted to.

As he was a bit of a gamer, Felix then proceeded to spend a bit of time blasting random bits of junk and asteroids. Even if the spaceship was partially automatic. Satisfied, that was when Felix proceeded to head over to the screen before using his device to download some more data.

If anyone asks about the wiring, Electrical activates the tasks for that, so it won't be until later. But for now, it was time to head into Oxygen and see if any more tasks needed to be done.

--

Oxygen was a small room with tanks full of plants and exhaust that released a lot of air, allowing the crewmates to survive. The main thing that caught Felix's eye – was how there was an oxygen filter near one of the vents. Approaching it, he instantly noticed how it was slightly dirty from the dead leaves that were blown off the trees and ended up in the filter.

Opening it, Felix was shocked at how the leaves immediately blew out. Quickly, Felix closed the filter before picking up the mess. Taking the mess over to the garbage chute, he placed it inside before proceeding to pull the lever – emptying the chute in the process.

After these quick tasks, that was when Felix moved along to the room at the easternmost part of the ship: Navigation.

--

Approaching Navigation, it looked like a fancier version of a standard cockpit. There were three different 'consoles' with comfortable seats, and on the 'console' in the middle – the screen had an urgent alert: saying that it didn't have a destination or a set path. On the left, was a wiring box and a screen that Felix could download data from.

But first, Felix wanted to see how he could fix the navigation system. On approaching it, it was directing them away from the ideal line. With a few button presses, that was when Felix could feel the ship shift. Grabbing the wheel, he was quick to stabilize the ship's motion before it was time to go on to the next task.

Walking over to the wall, Felix pulled out his device before deciding to download the data for when he would visit Admin. But now – after having downloaded data – it was time to start looping around with the next destination being Shields.

--

Shields was simple, as in the middle of this room that partially resembled Weapons – was a small 'computer' and on its screen, were some hexagons. Save for one or two, most of them were red. Meaning that they needed to be activated to turn white.

Knowing what this meant, Felix proceeded to walk over before deciding to fix the application by pressing all of the red hexagons. Satisfied, Felix then headed towards the next area: Communications.
