Dark Matter

9

It had been a few days since the indecents on the space station. Seven had yet to ask One about his identity because she didn't want to think she was prying into his life. Also, she wanted to give him the chance to come clean and tell the crew the truth. I mean, the deserve the truth, especially with something like this. Seven sits between Two and Five in the mess hall, Five is still a bit wary of Two, and the food they're all, probably not enjoying, isn't good. Everyone can agree to that. It's gross, and doesn't taste good. Seven's barely touched it, it's so bad.

"This is ridiculous," Three starts. "We're the most wanted criminals in the galaxy and we can't even scrape together enough money to buy a decent meal."

"We could have is you hadn't lost those weapons," Six replies.

"We were ambushed. Wasn't our fault."

Seven rolls her eyes at that lame excuse. Ambushed her ass, they were stolen by the man everyone thinks One to be. Why haven't they told anyone yet? Don't they deserve to know the truth? 

"So you keep saying."

Two interrupts, "Alright, there's no point in arguing. There's nothing we can do about it now."

"Sure there is," Three tells her. "We do what we do best, rob someone."

Everyone stops. They hadn't thought of this possibility, I mean, there past lives, the ones they can't remember, they were the ones who stole and robbed people... But now... Will they start doing what they did before? They might have to, like Three said, they're the most wanted criminals in the galaxy, it's not like they can get decent jobs. Seven thinks that robbing is a bad idea, it's just going to give the GA and the corporations an idea to where they are and where they're going. But, pulling a job could provide them with much needed money. They need food, and they'll need to get supplies at some point. So Seven stands on the indifferent side.

"Anyone in particular?" Two asks after a moment of thinking.

"I say Ferrous Corp. We find their closest outpost, and we just nail it. Hard. They're already pissed of at us, right? How much worse could it be?"

"What do you think?" Six asks One.

"I think it's a terrible-"

One is interrupted by Three coughing loudly. Obviously it's because of the deal the two of them made. The deal no one but Seven, Three, and One know about. But One and Three don't know that she knows. The plan is for One agree with everything Three says and Three won't tell anyone about how One isn't really Jace Corso. It's a stupid deal in Seven's mind, I mean this crew is going to find out eventually, so in the end they're only hurting themselves more than they have to.

"Sorry, wrong pipe," Three says in excuse, giving One a look. "You were saying?"

"Sure, it's what we do right?"

"Yeah."

"What about the vault?" Five asks everyone.

"What vault?" Three asks her, even though he knows what she's talking about. He did knock himself out trying to shoot the door open.

"I think that's what it is. It's down in the lower levels, at the end of a maintenance shaft. I found it when I was exploring the vents."

... 

After everyone finished eating they all went down to the vault. Seven wanted to laugh because of what had happened to Three, but she didn't. She knows what's inside, and if they remember the password to get into the vault, then it would help them greatly. They need the money and supplies that are hidden inside. Besides, Sarah would love to see her special man.
