Impostor

The ship came to a stop, and everyone lurched forward, ever so slightly. With a cheerful hop, Purple got out of their seat. They eagerly ran through the doors of the spaceship, and stood there, finally at their destination. The Mira Headquarters, also known as the MiraHQ. The launchpad was as clean as ever, with yellow lines showing newcomers where they should go for their map and tasks.

"H-Hey! Wait up!" Purple turned around, only to be greeted by someone who couldn't stop, and rammed into them.

"Oh, my apologies. I didn't expect you to turn around so fast." The Yellow being said as they stood up and held a hand out.

"Either that or you didn't realize how fast you were going." Purple suggested while taking Yellow's hand.

"You new as well?" Purple asked following the tape on the ground, as well as the hallway. Yellow nodded with a look of guilt.

"Hey, no need to be guilty, did you not catch what I said a few seconds ago?" Silence, only to be broken by the slap of Yellow's hand to their helmet.

"Sorry, that seemed to pass me."

"Heh, you're fine." Purple said, placing a hand on their shoulder.

"Now, let's move on." Yellow nodded slightly with a visible smirk. Purple turned on their heel, and headed out, following the tape on the ground into the office. There were a few other crewmates heading out, those being Cyan, Lime, and Blue, the other, Black, grabbing their designated folder. Yellow and Purple walked to where their tasks and the map of the Headquarters were.

They both took a quick glance at their tasks before heading out of the office.

"Soooo, do you wanna pair up? I think it might be a little safer if we stay together. You never know what dangers could be lurking on the ship." Purple said, shrugging and placing a hand behind their neck.

"Yeah, I don't see why not."

"Where to?" Yellow said while struggling to catch up.

"My first task is in the reactor. You?" Purple replied, slowing down for Yellow to reach them.

"Same! Let's go!"

Purple gave a soft smile before dropping it.

"Wait, where's the reactor?"

Perfect. The plan is coming along nicely. No has even begun to suspect me. I've already gained some "friends". As if they will help me in the long run.

It might be hard to actually do the deed, but you need to survive somehow. My stomach rumbles, but there's no one near, or alone. Well, there is someone, but if I take them out, everyone will know it's me because I was with them the entire time. So, no. Sorry, but no. I will have to feed myself later.

"Aaaand the reactor's manifolds are unlocked!" Purple said happily, finally figuring out how to unlock them.

"I just need to head to Comms. My task was to divert power to Communications, so that means I have to head there. Where's your next task?"

"Greenhouse. I think this means we have to part." Purple said, frowning.

"Hey, I'll be fine. It's not like I won't be alone. Who knows? I could come into Comms with two other people." Yellow reassured, placing their gloved hand on Purple's shoulder. Purple smiled softly at Yellow's reassurance, holding the hand that was resting on their shoulder.

They both turned around and headed out of the reactor, through Decontamination, before finally parting in the Locker Room.
