          The moment Minseok announces that Kairi is dead, everyone's heads turn to look at them. Some faces show terror while others look confused; some even baring the audacity to look neutral, unbothered and somewhat expectant of this.

Yeonha looked confused. "What? Are you serious?" she asks, the thought of something like this happening on their ship has not crossed her mind before.

Minseok was almost in tears. "Yes, I'm sure! I found their body in Security, where they were supposed to be doing their task!" they say, obviously distraught and saddened by their friend's death.

Yeonha nods and walks out of the cafeteria towards security, seeing immediately how bad the murder was.

She now understands why Minseok looked the way they did when they first came running into the cafeteria. "We need to hold a group meeting right now!" Yeonha orders.

Soon enough, everyone is either sitting or standing around the table. Yeonha had separated everyone into the friend groups that she was aware of, just in case.

"Does anyone know anything? Who's accounted for and who isn't?" Yeonha asks, starting it off.

Narae was the first one to speak up, "Well, I was with Deshawn and Jin-Woo most of the time, but we split up before we came here. Deshawn and I went to Navigation, while Jin-woo went to O2 by themselves."

"Wait, are y-you trying to pin this on m-me?!" Jin-woo asks, a little angered by the fact that they would think it was them.

Deshawn rolls his eyes. "We never said that, calm down!" he says, looking over at the brown-suited teen.

Mesha speaks up, "Oh, speaking of unaccounted for, Yikyung and I were in Communions when Kieran came in by himself. So, before he came in while we were doing our tasks, Kieran is unaccounted for."

Yeonha nods. "So two people are unaccounted for. What else?" she asks, looking around.

Wonhyuk shrugs. "Well, Harlow and I were together the whole time," he says, looking down at them, "Isn't that right?"

"We were together, yes," they say a bit quietly, nodding while avoiding eye contact with anyone as they spoke, which was normal for them.

"Yeonha, you did leave before Minseok found the body--" Koeun points out. "I was cooking the whole time; I haven't even gotten the chance to go out and explore the ship," she adds.

Minseok just sighs. "So three people could have killed them. What now?" they ask. They just wanted to find out who had killed their friend and make sure that they wouldn't be able to do it again.

Narae sighs, "Well, we don't have any proof that one of them did it, and I really don't want to accuse someone who is innocent."

"Okay well, what are we even going to do to the person who is accused?" Kieran asks, looking over at the captain and co-captain.

Yeonha thinks aloud, "We can just push them out the airlock..."

"What?! You can't be serious!" Yikyung says, with an expression of disbelief and sheer terror dancing on his face.

"What if they didn't do it? We can end up killing them!" Narae says this new information making her not want to accuse anyone. 

Wonhyuk was calm. "Well, what else are we supposed to do, let them kill us?" he asks, looking over at Narae.

"I guess you're right.. but still!" she says, shaking her head, still not liking the idea.

Yeonha lets out another sigh in the room. "Okay so, what do you all want to do?" she asks, looking around.
