"Well FriedRice did go out with a bang," Dhee joked as we threw the bodies out of the vent.

"Dhee I have something to ask you for some time." I hadn't asked her until now. I wasn't sure why, "Why do you want to kill all the crewmates? And why did you allow me to come with you to Mira HQ? I was a hindrance to you most of the time."

"They invaded my planet. What else was I supposed to do? Sit there and watch myself and my friends get transported to your planet for 'further research'? It's for revenge of course. We have feelings and can sense pain too." Dhee's face darkened. A lot, "also, I couldn't leave you there at the Skeld. Furthermore, instead of having to kill or vote out 8 people, I can just do so for 6 people. You also do a good job at diverting all the suspicion to yourself."

"Oh... another thing..."

"What."

"How do we even get to Polus? Our escape pod was disposed of already, and the base at Polus is most likely aware of us here at Mira HQ."

"Disposed of? It was merely dismantled. You know how to put it back together, don't you?"

"I only learnt maintenance and only some parts of building a ship or reconstructing it...I guess we'll have to see how much it was dismantled."

Heading to the storage, I took a look at the parts of the escape pod. It was taken apart in half to fit in the storage. All I have to do is to figure out a way to put the two parts back together, "Yeah, I can fix this."

"Good."

It didn't take long. All I needed to do was to get the wires sawed in half to be put back together, fix some screws, replenish the oxygen supply in the escape pod, etc. I wasn't a genius at engineering, so we would have around a few hours to travel to Polus before the ship breaks down.

"Well, that's good enough," Dhee declared, she decided for us to wear a lime and red suit this time. She hopped into the tiny vent again after sabotaging the reactor. I followed suit, sitting at the navigation seat, where there was the box of accessories beside it.

As we left the building, it exploded, just as Dhee had predicted before we had entered. I felt sorry for S and Veg, but it was necessary for Dhee to achieve her goal of killing all the crewmates.

A few hours later, Dhee and I arrived at the Polus. By then, the fuel level was so low that we couldn't even do a proper landing. We half-crashed into a structure that looked like a spaceship. Both of us were fine.

"Dropship" The visor had said. It looked like our escape pod but without vents and way larger, with 10 seats. Dhee and I hurried to scurry out of the escape pod, which had begun to smoke by now.

Dhee smiled, "I know this place well. I don't need a diagram of the vent system to know where to go. Cat, stay here." Dhee jumped in the vent.

The vents at this planet certainly looked different than the one at the Skeld and Mira HQ. They were holes instead of having metal bars covering it. One could easily fall in it and be mistaken for venting.

A minute later, Dhee popped out from the vent and grinned, "Put on your antenna hat," Dhee put on a crown on her head, "I've already taken care of them."

She ran towards the south of the planet while I ran to the west, "Electrical". This electrical room looked nothing like the death pit back at the Skeld.

I checked the task bar. I was unsure how this suit manages to always give me tasks, but I wasn't complaining. The crewmates can't get a task win now.
