Dark Matter

After they lost gravity, Two tried to ask Seven what she did, but was interrupted by Six. He called over the comms saying that he found Five knocked out in the infirmary. They all ended up finding in the infirmary, all but Seven, One, and the android questioning why they lost gravity. Six had lifted Five up and laid her on the table, waiting for her to wake up. Everyone is in the room. Two and Six are right next to Five, Four and the android are by the containment area, One and Three are by the door, and Seven is playing with her necklace and sitting on another bed. Then as Six touches Five's face, she starts to stir, and then her eyes open.

"Hey," Six says.

"Wh-what happened?" Five asks.

"We lost gravity for a few seconds there. When it came back on, we all took a tumble. You hit your head on the way down."

"I did?"

"Yeah, you ok?" Six asks as Five touches her head.

"Yeah, I think so." Six helps Five sit up and only a few moments after, One began to speak.

"So, any ideas who attacked us, or why?"

"None," Two replies.

"Maybe the robot had something to do with it," Three says crossing the room.

"I have no intention of harming anyone on this ship."

"Oh yeah, well except for the part where you nearly killed us all."

"I have no memory of that attack."

"So you keep saying!"

"Alright, calm down," Six tells him.

"Are you kidding me now? I wake up a couple of hours ago I got no idea who I am how the hell I got here. Nearly get killed by the forgetful robot, almost blasted to scrag by some mystery ship, and now we are floating in the middle of who knows where."

"Actually we do know where. We're on course for a nearby inhabited world," the android replies.

"We are?" Two asks surprised.

"Before we were attack, I initiated a recovery program in order to salvage recently deleted and overwritten data."

"You can do that?" One asks.

"The process is time consuming and most of the information is irretrievable. However, I have managed to salvage some data."

"What kind of data," Three asks now getting back into the conversation.

"This ship's original destination, we should be arriving in less than 12 hours."

Everyone looked around at each other, all hoping that maybe these people on this planet will be able to tell them something, anything about who they are. Seven made eye contact with Five, but didn't say anything. All Seven did was go into a cabinet and toss her a container of headache pills. Seven knew that Five had a headache, but she wasn't willing to break up the conversation just to ask for something. Five looked at her in confusion though, how did Seven know that she had a headache? She didn't say anything, and she didn't show any sign of having a headache.

Seven was the first person to leave, and this snapped everyone out of their thoughts. Everyone but Five and Six left the infirmary. When everyone else left the infirmary though, they could see Seven bounce walking down the hallway, and they could hear her humming that same creepy tune from before. They all brushed it off. They all know that she is strange, but they don't know how strange. But they're going to have to get used to it. They're going to be together for a long time.

After a while of just wandering around the ship, Seven found herself walking down stairs. She spotted Three trying to type in a code for a large door, but nothing worked. He didn't hear her silent footsteps on the stairs, and he didn't see her dressed in her pink outfit. His mind was too consumed on trying to open the door. Yet he was doing a horrible job at that, somehow he couldn't open the door, and when he couldn't he resorted to something very stupid.
