Green wasn't the imposter.

He hadn't been the imposter.

She was wrong.

Oh so wrong.

She leaned against the storage crate, which was covered in bloody writing. At this rate, everyone would be dead before they made it to Polus. One more day. They had one more day until they made it to Polus. Back to civilization. They would then put all the remaining crewmates on trial, to figure out who the imposter was.

Then she would be safe.

Unless they could figure out who the imposter was before they got to Polus.

Lime lifted herself off of the storage crate and made her way to the security room to find Brown. She was the one working on Yellow's phone, to find evidence.

So far she had made absolutely zero progress. The phone was damaged badly. She had managed to locate the memory card and find it intact. So she removed it, but she still needed a device that would allow her to see what was inside of the memory card.

None of the other crewmates had phones though, and Lime doubted anything on the ship would be sufficient.

However, they would be at Polus soon, so she was counting on them to have the right equipment.

Lime made her way down the hallway and turned right into the security room. She knocked on the door and peeked her head in.

A clang of metal stifled her scream. Brown was dead.

The vote was later that night.

Lime had taken over the job of fixing Yellow's phone and had been working on it the whole day. This time the Space Cat joined them at the Cafeteria table to mourn the loss of its owner.

They all sat quietly until White broke the silence, "I think it's Lime. She's hogging the evidence,"

Cyan stood, "Why would it be Lime?! You didn't even ask to see the evidence,"

"Exactly!" Now it was Lime's turn to play the blame game, "I think it's Black. He's too quiet,"

"Yeah!" Lime was glad Cyan was on her side, "Black's being a little sus,"

"Sus?" Lime asked him.

"Um," Cyan reddened and twirled his fingers, "I-I made it up... because, you know, we say suspicious a lot, so it's j-just faster to say sus,"

Orange smiled, "I actually kinda like that,"

White stood and pinched the bridge of her nose, "Look, we don't have time for this, we need to vote someone out,"

They didn't have to though, there was no rule saying they had to vote someone out every night. Lime didn't really mean what she said about Black. She didn't think any of them did, but there was an imposter. On. This. Ship. Standing right among them.

"What if it isn't one of us," Orange said.

He had always been an optimist and while many people shook their heads, Lime could see why he would say that.

In truth, none of them even looked remotely close to being a murderer. So she could imagine another person—or thing—hiding in the vents, watching their every move.

Maybe they were watching now.

"What are you implying?" Blue asked him.

Ever since she got Red voted out, Lime had looked at Blue with a new light. She may seem nice but she was badass. And Lime did not want to get on her bad side.

"I don't know, maybe there's someone hiding in the shadows?" Orange shrugged.

Blue scoffed, "I think we would've noticed them by now,"

"Blue's right, Lime, you said it was in security right?" Lime nodded to Black, "Then we should be able to find footage of someone walking out of security before you went in,"

"Well, what if it is her idiot," White crossed her arms.

"Yeah, it won't work, the imposter travels through vents. I heard them leave through the vent in security," Lime informed them.

Everyone tensed. This made it much easier for the imposter.

And much harder for them.

"So we have absolutely zero evidence," Blue concluded.

Cyan groaned. It was true. The imposter would not be expelled tonight.

"Guys, it's okay. We'll be at Polus soon, there'll be more people there. They'll take care of it,"

And Lime hoped they did.

And Lime hoped they did
