Sips' Disappearance

*Spoilers for if you haven’t watched the SipsCo Space Program. And Mars is a lot farther away than it is in our world. It’s like, we are Mercury (the planet closest to the sun) and Mars is like Pluto (even though that isn’t a planet anymore. . .)*

*There will be some sad moments in this so. . .It skips around time-wise. Zips is in it, but Simon and Lewis are almost ready to go to Mars.  And also going under the Spaceman!Sips head cannon. Unless he really is from space. . . Lewis is also from space, because I know for a fact that’s true.*

I was returning to our Slime island, having to make a trip back to the Sips Co. secret base to gather what I could, since our quarry is once again out of order. Stopping at the quarries to deposit some of the coal I found on the way, and headed for the ladders leading to our base.

“Sips! I’m back.” I shove everything in my pack into one of them many chests strewn about, ready to just lay down and sleep after the long journey.

“Wha- Oh, hey!” I enter and a man who looks a lot like Sips, but isn’t, is at the NASA work table. His spacesuit looks the same, but he is balding and has a unibrow. His voice  is much lower, and he just seems really awkward.

Deciding to wait until the moment is right, I play along. “Hey Sips! I found a lot of minerals back at the secret base. I just dumped them in a chest.”

“Oh? Uh- which secret base?” He walks over and starts looking through a chest. I grab a sword and move behind him.

“Turn around slowly.”

“What do ya mean, Si-jin?” (It says on the wiki that he actually pronounces it like that, and not like Shin like Sips does.)

“Where is the real Sips?” I place the tip of my sword where I assume his heart to be. I try to appear tough, but am terrified.

“Sjin! You are wasting time. We need to get to space. Here, grab some dirt. Lets just climb up there.” He tries to hand me some premium dirt but I hit it out of his hand.

I press my sword harder against his chest, and I see him wince. “Okay- okay. He-” The man looks around desperately.

“He what?” I readjust the sword.

“He’s on Mars.” My sword clatters to the floor and I find myself unable to move. Sips’ doppelganger bolts, the door slamming shut behind him.

“Sipsy?” I whisper to no one. Tears start to trickle down my face. A million different situations run through my head. Out of all of them, the one that sticks is:
Maybe he’s returning home. Never to return to Minecraftia again.

“He wouldn’t do that, would he? He wouldn’t just leave without telling me.” I stand up and decide to go see the Girl Guides. Lewis should have some idea as to what happened and what we should do.

It takes me a full day and a half, but I eventually reach their base. It’s later in the day when I arrive. Shaking my head at the architectural design and I don’t bother knocking on their non-mahogany door.

“Lewis!” I call out, seeing no one. I check the main room, then the kitchen, even wander the mines a bit. I head back up and look at their board, hoping that will point me in the right direction.

There’s a weird vroom sound and I head into a side room I didn’t notice before. “Hello? Lewis?”

“Sjin? What are you doing here, friend?” He comes out of yet another room into this weird library. His two companions are close behind, neither looking all that happy.

“Oi, what are you doing here? You can’t just come to Baked Bean Fort!” The short man starts stepping toward me, but Lewis steps in front of him.
