A year had passed after the incident on Pollus. Black's team now had four new recruits joining them. Red, Purple, Lime, Brown, a new Yellow, and Cyan.
They were all excited for their first mission. Black wasn't. They were going back to Pollus. The weather nodes they used to monitor the storms on the planet had been damaged, and the team was tasked with repairing them.
It was a simple mission, and would probably only take them a few hours. Then they'd be right back on the Skeld.
Black didn't like the idea of going back to the place that took so much from him, but he'd go through with it anyway for the sake of the mission.

The mission had been going rather smoothly. All but two of the weather nodes were repaired, and the crew was preparing to go "home". Their space suits, or Color Shells as red called them, had kept them warm the whole time.
And that was good considering the facility that Black had gone to previously was shut down and boarded up. The team was told that the incident that took place there was classified, but Black and Pink knew the truth.
One of the crewmates, Brown, had found a strange alien slug. While the crew was loading up the ship, preparing for take off, Brown pulled Black aside.
When he saw it, his eyes widened in shock. He kicked it, and stomped on it repeatedly. "Black what the hell man?!" Black turned to brown. "You stay away from that thing, you understand me?!" Brown simply nodded, and Black stormed off.
"Come on, we're getting ready for take off." Black called over his shoulder. Brown looked at the slug thing. It looked...hurt. It kept making a weird sound and it wasn't moving as much as before.
Brown felt bad for it, and took it with him to the ship.
