Crewmate

Bonus Content: Original Outline

Five crew members join the lobby: Red (Ezra) Yellow (Adeline) Blue (Archer) White (Milo) Pink

From imposter's (blue – Archer) POV, partner Ezra/Red

Use color for names until someone actually introduces themselves which is rare

In the lobby and Archer goes around and is picking up a hat, maybe a sprout would look nice... but then someone enters the lobby and he turns to see red enter. Red, tall and silent but his eyes hold wisdom. They make eye contact and a look passes between them. He's obviously not new to Shield, sad he'll have to die. Yellow and white join before yellow starts spamming for them to start even though they don't have five yet. Gets tired of the notifs on his tablet so he opens the doors to the ship and everyone runs through.

he looks up at his crewmates, and they all start to go off to do their own tasks. He goes into admin to try and look busy and he sees red follow him. Red takes out his card and keeps trying to swipe it. He swears a couple times and finally gets it right then looks over at Blue and Archer feels self-conscious. He's just kind of holding the wires in his hands, not really sure what to do so he stuffs them back in, "Heh, I'll just get to this task later."

Red nods, "I get that. Took me a bit to get the hang of some of these things. Need me to show you how to do the wires?"

Archer shuffles, they can't know "Yeah sure!"

Red gives him an instructional and he pretends to do it then he closes up the box.

Archer excuses himself because he has to go do the elctrical in the café now. Gets out of reds sight and stands by the wries and pulls out his tablet and sabotages the nuc.

Runs to the vent in upper engine and goes into the nuc room and sees white there holding it down. Is about to kill white then red runs in so he pretends as if he's trying to hold down the other. They resolve the issue and red grabs him then red takes off his helmet so Archer can see him clearly and he looks... nice. "You okay?" red asks

Archer nods, not understanding why he's doing this, so he takes off his helmet too. "Yeah I'm good. I was in cafeteria so I got here just in time."

Red nods. And it's a bit of awkward silence before archer says he has to go finish his tasks and red nods but then asks for his real name and Archer answers and red says his name is Ezra. They smile and red lets him go, watching him leave.

Archer thinks that was a close one.

______________________________

Comes out of the vent slowly and walks over to the security comm then yellow walks in which makes him feel awkward.

"Finish you tasks, blue?"

Archer nods, "Yep,"

There's some small talk and then someone clears their throat and yellow excuses herself and red takes her place. "How're you doing Archer?"

Archer blushes, "Um well I guess."

He can see red looking at him from the corner of his vision so he turns that way.

"Archer, would you like to be partners?"

Archer chokes, "What?"

"Like buddies, you know, so we don't get killed without a witness..."

Archer bites his lip then nods and looks off to the side, "Yeah we could do that."

"Cool" red says, then shifts on his feet. Archer looks off and then he feels red grab onto his arm.
