(Pinks Pov)
   The mission we were given made me more nervous then I ever had been. We were assigned to go to the planet Polus and search the base for any signs of life and gather some supplies that has been left there. This ship "The Skeld" has been to Polus before and my friend Black scared me by saying that maybe a form of life had gotten onto the ship in a previous mission. I know that I'm a scaredy cat, but something about her saying that made me feel like it could actually happen. Black was one of my friends on the Skeld we were assigned as roommates, so naturally we became best buds right away. She is more on the tomboy side with short hair and one side of her head shaved. Her and Purple were always close and I'm always wondering when they are finally gonna get together. Love was the last thing on my mind on the mission, as I always tend to focus on other things more than relationships. I stared out into the star lit universe and spaced out.
   "Hey Pink!" I jumped as black appeared behind me
   "God you scared me half to death Black!" I said
   "When do I not?" Black snorted and started to walk off gesturing for me to follow her. I caught up to her and she began to speak.
"Sooooo, have you heard the news yet?" Black said obviously excited
"No I havent." I replied adjusting the flower on my head.
"We are getting a new member today!" Black said as she turned around starting to walk backwards looking right at me through her helmet
"Really?!" I was surprised, as we have been a team of 8 for as long as I can remember. Me, Black, Purple, Blue, White, Orange, Yellow, and Cyan have all been on this ship together for months. I can't imagine what's its gonna be like with more.
"Actually two more are joining, Red and Brown." Black seemed super excited as she continued to walk backwards.
"Black I would watch behind you."
I was too late and Black backed up right into a cafeteria table falling down
"Oof! guess I should have seen that coming." Black said laughing on the floor. I giggled and held out my hand to help her up. She took my hand and I hoisted her back to her feet.
"Anyway, Red and Brown?" I said wanting to get the conversation going again. I wanted to learn about the new crewmates who were joining us.
"Haha! Are you excited to meet them or something?" Brown said
"Well yeah it's been so since new people have joined The Skeld," I said happy "its exciting!"
"It sure is!" Black said fiddling with her crown.
We continued walking together until we reached the drop ship. I didnt expect them to already be here, but I guess Black does always tell me things almost right before or after they happen. The doors opened to the dropship, and Blue walked out giving us a small wave before joining us.
"The new crewmates are definitely what we needed for this mission." Blue said his tone happier then normal. Blue was kind of the leader, he tended to set up the meetings and keep an eye on people. He usually kept to himself, but would talk with Yellow and Orange every once and a while. If Blue was so happy then one of the crewmates must be leader material, because thats the only kind if people blue really interact with. I was happy that maybe we would get a new leader because I know that Blue really doesn't want to be the leader. Purple and the new color Brown stepped out of the drop ship and headed to Admin. I guessed that Purple was showing the new recruit around. It was a decent size ship and kind of hard to navigate when you first enter. I remember when I first entered The Skeld. I continued to get lost and could never find my way around the damn place. Once I got used to it though I figured out the ship like the back of my hand. Shortly after the new crewmate Red stepped out and started to look around. They didn't seem like they knew where to go, so I decided to introduce myself. I gathered up all my courage and walked up to the new color.
"Hi there! I'm Pink your new crewmate." I started off
"Hey" He said, I could tell that he was smiling under his suit and it made me feel warm.
"Welcome to The Skeld, if you would want I could show you around" I tried to sound as kind as possible and be very welcoming
   "I would enjoy that, yes" He said stepping up next to me
I started to show Red all of the different rooms of the Skeld and how to do each of the tasks. Sometimes helping him here and there. While in admin he tried to swipe his card, but the scanner kept declining. It always did this
"Too fast!" It would say and then you would try a bit slower.
"Too slow!" God damn you can never tell what it wants. I've mastered the card swipe and have figured out what it wants me to do.
"Here let me help you with that, the scanner can be a bit weird sometimes." I grabbed his hand guiding it and helping him scan the card. I felt a knot growing in my stomach, but I quickly shoved it away.
"Thank you!" He said putting his card back into his wallet.
Black then came into Admin and started to download data.
"Sooo hows it going Pink?" Black asked leaning up against the wall
"Its going well I just had to help him swipe his card, but other than that we are just fine." Red nodded after I said that
"Purple tells me that ya like to help out and take control of situations Red" Black said turning her attention to him.
"Yeah I do I've always been the leader type, but I did just get here so dont expect anything to great from me yet" Red said a little chuckle escaped his mouth
"I mean that's still pretty great, we need a stronger leader because Blue definitely is not fit to be one" Black said looking back at her download task that was now completed.
"Anyways I'm off to continue tasks" Black said exiting Admin
I then heard a strange sound, it sounded like a snake slithering around. I shivered and looked at Red, it stopped.
"Did you hear that?" I said at Red
"Hear what?" Red said tilting his head a bit.
"It was probably just my imagination" I thought to myself
"Anyways is there anything else you need help with Red?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"I dont think so, but I will definitely come to you if I do." I smiled and left Red in Admin. As soon as I left Admin Black jumped on me.
"What did you think!" She said practically boucing up and down
"He was really nice, I'm so glad he's on the team." I said.
I know exactly why she was so excited. For as long as I can remember Black wanted to get me into relationships, but I just didnt like any of the crewmates enough to fall in love with them. That's just not how it works, you cant just make people hang out and BAM they fall in love, but that's Black for ya.
The lights above blared red. The emergency meeting button must have been pushed. Black ran to the cafeteria, and I gestured for Red to follow me.
   "That's the emergency meeting button!" I exclaimed and Red followed behind me. Blue was at the button, I wondered what could have happened that made him push the button.
Blue started
"I dont know how to say this, but as you all know I run samples of everyone each week or so to check for activity in the ship." Blue said and I started to get nervous. Red stood next to me watching Blue
"As I was finishing up with the samples, I found a anomaly on one of the viles" Blue continued talking
"I dont label the samples, as I have never expected to find anything but low and behold I did." Blue was always like this. Trying to do as less work as he can. Finaly it caught up to him, but in the worst way possible. White, the timid one of the group spoke up.
"S-so what does that mean?"
I too was asking that same question, but didnt feel like asking it, so thank you white.
"It means that there is an alien impostor among us, it must have gotten in when we opened the dropship doors to let the new crewmembers in." Everyone gasped in horror as they all started to talk amongst eachother. I felt my heart drop, the thing that I feared most. The one thing that I didnt want to happen had happened. There was an alien on this ship. None of us quite knew what that meant yet, but we were gonna find out very very soon.

(Hello future Reaune here,
