I waited until I was the last one awake to get out of my capsule as I'm sure I've heard all of the crew awaken. I pushed the glass up and jumped out of my capsule, immediately putting on my uniform. In mid-dressing, I clenched my fists as I noticed Brown still sleeping. Are you serious?
I zipped up my suit and ripped open the capsule, smacking him across the face to wake him up. It wasn't much but it felt decent to release a small portion of my anger towards him.

His eyes fluttered open like he's some girl and plastered a stupid expression on his face. He groaned and held his stinging face with a fake pout.
"Did you just slap me awake? I guess I didn't get the memo that we were still in primary school."

I sighed: "You are awake, aren't you? Get up, Lee."
I pulled Brown by the hem of his shirt, pushing him to have him fall to the icy cold floor with an echoing thud.

"Tsk tsk tsk, better not let our adviser hear you call me by my name, Dorian," Brown mocked with a sleepy smile.
Adviser...I get why he's forcing us to call each other by colors and I'll blindly follow his orders if he asks, but I can't help but wonder how we're the last unit. I won't question his actions and I should just "trust the process"...I suppose it's natural for me to be cautious.

I twisted my face in disgust seeing him laying there on the floor. He eventually got up, nudging me out of the way of his uniform. I rolled my eyes and put my hands in my pockets, grimacing as I felt them full of things.

I took them out and saw them as task cards and a map. Either I have them because of the adviser or I have them because I have a natural leadership position from my father being a leader in Unit One. Tradition is stupid but I'll exploit it if need be.

I walked out of the room, seeing the rest of the crew in the cafeteria, surrounding a middle, blue table. Brown soon came out and stood beside White as Pink began reading the cryptic note as everyone is present.
After she finished, Brown started to open his mouth to speak.

"What 'game'," Brown scoffed, "This is ridiculous that you guys are falling for this, somebody is just fucking with us."

"Who would 'fuck' with us as a form of enjoyment in a situation as serious as this? They even mentioned Unit One...and the thing about the two imposters? So, if it is a joke, two of you are responsible," Orange says, folding her arms.

"Yes, I agree," Pink starts, "However, they aren't just going to speak up about it. I hate to say it but let's just...ignore it for now until it becomes an issue. All we have is an anonymously written note."

I threw the task cards on the table, gaining everyone's attention.
"Tasks, found them in my pocket, let's get them done. We are to complete these every day to prevent...mishaps like Unit One. Or I could complete them all as I don't trust any of you with our collective lives," I explain.

"I think we split them up since I don't trust you with our collective lives," Brown responds, taking a task that has his color labeled.
Everyone else started to take their task card as well.

Fine, we'll just follow in our parent's footsteps. I took mine and pushed by Brown to get them done already.
