Polus Psycho

Do your Task!

I never expected I would ever hear that.

The two of us are already dead literally inside and we can't tell who were those. We can't help them at all.

The one thing that bothers me too was the Impostor will do everything to lie to us. They will never admit that they were the impostor. And if we won't figure it out sooner, he will murder us all. We should send the message to the Mira board members for them to send help and to be warned.

It took forever to reach the Polus Outpost. Finally it landed. Commander stands near the gate and looked at us all.

"Alright troops, we all go straight to Comms and send all the messages we have written and recorded" Commander Rae instructed as she pressed the red button opening the drop ship.

The gate were once again lowered. Presenting the Polus Outpost back to us.

"Leslie and Yvonnie!, go straigtly to med bay and scan these specimens, we should know what these Viruses are" she added handing the containers to Yvonnie. So they go to med bay and check it up. We will scan one by one to know who has the virus. Whoever is the Impostor.

They nodded

We all placed our helmet in our heads.

As the passage way were lowered down, we saw the comms were sabotaged. Yellow flickering lights sparkle at its parts. The eletricity showers like a rain to the purple land.

We are ran towards it and inspected its surroundings.

"Who did this?!?" Jeremy asked

Soon as we reach it, we saw its destroyed parts. It wasn't on anymore. Furthermore, most of the connection it had around the Outpost is jammed.

"Why did you asked?? Maybe you did this and asked to throw suspicion out of you!" Ali said.

"What?!"

They were all arguing at each other and then I saw Thomas weeping at the corner.

He is sitting beside the north west node crying himself out.

"Pull yourself together bro, we can find the impostor out" I said encouraging him up

I felt really suspicious telling him that. I know that im not the impostor but what if he's the one? And his pretending to cry to make himself innosent. But I know him, he's like a baby to us, he is the softest one.

As I walk to sit toward his side, I notice something strange, the nodes weren't on. I'm 100% percent sure that they were on when we left.

"Guyss, Ma'am, the nodes weren't on"

They all stopped and looked at the nodes. Commander inspected it herself.
They were all in deep shock seeing the none flickering lights of the nodes.

"Why on Polus this is off??" Commander asked

"Ma'am, I made sure they were on when we left this Outpost. I made sure on all of them." Ali proclaims

Of course he made sure of it. He's our Electrical Engineer, John were the Mechanic.

"So what is the meaning of this??"

"I believe that the Imposter have sabotaged it too Commander, as soon as we landed here, to make us delay the massages" John answered

As we are speaking through our transmitters, Leslie and Yvonnie are running towards us with the containers.

"Reports?"

They stopped and bend their back leaning on their knees, while catching their breathe. Yvonnie raised her hand before she could speak.

"Commander, the med bay doesn't work" we gasp as soon as we heard the news. We murmur at each other. "The telescope were not aligned, the samples were disorganized, the nodes were all off, the wires are broken, and I believe some of us need to redo our med bay scan, their biosignature are the only left that can scan"

Commander were just shut down by the news. She can't believe we were about to face death under her protection.

"We can do this Rachel" Jeremy said. It's her name, they were friends before this expedition to Polus.

We all sit down as we think in despair. If we can't scan all of us, then we can't catch who the real impostor are. This is bad, really bad.

"I have a Plan" John said "but we all need to look out for each other, we all need to help one another. The impostor won't tell who he is so we need to be cautious. I have a plan but this needs your agreement. We will live and leave this place"

As he spoke, we stand one at a time. The moment John said we will live lightens my will. We will live like he said.

We placed our hands on deck, each with different colored suit. As we joined hand, Commander Rae stands and added her hand, now were complete.

"So what's this 'Plan'?" She asked

"Here it goes..."

We did all what he said

We went to admin and listed all the sabotaged Part of the station. The admin oversee all of the map, task, and number of people of each room. We listed it and spread the task to each one of us. We will do the task as we have told.

John and Ali, the engineering experts have fixed the office and added a button to it. They placed a red teleporting button to the center of the table all connected to our suit. If ever we find something too suspicious and needs a meeting urgently, we press it and it'll teleport us all.

To do the teleporting thing they did, he each added a new feature in our suits. This device will allow us to be teleported instantly.

This technology were used on Earth, widely known on Mars, and recently been adopted to The Mira HQ but sadly, they just added the upgrade here in Polus now that we will die. The Earth Walkers are dull creatures. A left-over of our advance civilization. The teleportation is a toy we gave them to entertain themselves.

The device attached to us will also enable us to be a Button for teleportation once we're dead. Making the Person who will find the body will be able to report it and all be teleproted back to Office.

This plan were all good except for one thing, the device removed all our ability to speak to each other through our trasmitter devices. We can only speak and discuss during an emergency meeting.

That sucks but it's all for our good.

"It's all done!" Ali proclaims as he stroke his hands together, brushing away the dust.

We stand together at the office on each of our teleportation pods. These are the pods where we will be teleported.

"We will throw the impostor to the Lava pit when we know who it was" Commander insist "and its death will be caused by Democracy"

"Aye!"

"Do your Task and we might survive this" Jeremy said "we might send the help we need"

We all nod and looked at each other suspiciously.

"I'm your Commander, and now, your life is under my shelter. But this life, I cannot protect. The Impostors are Among us and I can't protect you from them" she bowed, brushing her helmet on her head "The only protection I can give is this damn good strategy. After this meeting, we won't be talking anymore. I have only two Command for you now. Do your Task and Don't Die."

"AYE!" We all cheered as if it's our last.

Death is upon us I'm sure, but at least we will have a fighting chance.

"LET'S DO OUR TASK!!" John yelled
