Red was looking around the room as they were waiting for the others to arrive. A part of him was curious as to what was going to happen. He had a basic idea, of course. His job was simple. At least that's what he told himself.
He needed to blend in and be seen as one of them. He needed to be just another person on this mission, and then be shocked when the body of another is 'mysteriously' found. He could pretend that it was an easy job, but that was exactly that. Pretend.
The people who had showed up so far was him, Pink, and Lime.
(I don't want to come off as suspicious,) he thought to himself. (I should probably go talk to the others as they arrive and make myself seem as friendly as possible.)
Pink was adjusting her helmet. She couldn't wait to get into part of the trip so she can take it off and breathe without that clunky uniform on.
Everyone is new to each other and have traveled a distance to meet at a certain point to travel together since traveling alone wasn't recommended for being so deep in this part of space.
"Hey, oinky. Why you so quiet?" A male voice came from the light green suit. "Are you gay for being that color?" He asked in a mean tone.
"Huh?" A surprised female voice came out. That made Lime also jump. "Pink is my name. But I don't think we should judge based on our colors. Heehee!" Her voice sounded nervous, but she talked quickly but energetically.
"Woah. You're a girl?" Lime's tone changed a bit. "Your voice even sounds cute."
Pink ignored the question and looked at Red. "It is nice to meet you, Red. And... Lime. I hope we all travel to our destination safely!!"
Red nodded and was sure to add emphasis. (Acting enthusiastic may help my case as well. Lime seems like a jerk already from making that comment, so it isn't too much of a stretch to think the others might suspect him before me.)
Red reached his hand out towards Pink as an invitation to shake. "I believe it'll be nice to get to know you both. However rude Lime may be." He laughed.
Pink giggled and shook Red's hand with a squeeze as Lime tapped his foot in annoyance.
"You could shake my hand too, Pink-" Lime's voice got cut off as the sound of a door roaring caught everyone's attention. The rest of the crewmates had shown up.
"Gosh. Finally! I got tired of traveling alone!" Orange complained. She stomped herself into the room as she scans towards Red, Pink and Lime. "I was hoping to be here first. But everyone was crowding the drop off hallway."
"At least we can progress faster like this." Blue commented as he walked in. "It doesn't matter who came first."
Orange sighed as if she was rolling her eyes.
Black walked into the room and started to stutter something. But it was so quiet. He seemed nervous.
Yellow was standing beside Black as the others walked in. (This guy seems shy, but it's important to get to know everyone on here.) She tilted her head. "Hm?"
"Don't try to talk to him," Cyan said. She did a little pose. "I know exactly what his issue is! He suffers from shyness and must be left alone before he passes out! It's a very serious symptom!"
Purple shook her head in mock annoyance. The amusement was plain in her tone. "I don't think that's exactly right."
Lastly, came in Brown and White. White spoke over him as he walked inside with a kind tone. His voice was almost soothing. "I see that we are present?"
