Impostors Among Us

The Skeld 4

      Cyan stalked around the ship. Yellow, who was fixing wires outside of security, saw Cyan approaching him.
       "Oh, hey Cy. I was just uh fixin wires. Did you wanna get something to eat at the cafe later?"
       Cyan didn't answer. Instead, her stomach opened. Her tongue stabbed his arm, pinning him a to the wall.
      He screamed in pain. There was so much blood. The pain was unbearable. He started to black out.m
      Cyan's dead brown eyes were the last thing he saw before he lost consciousness. Cyan heard footsteps and ran into security. They changed into a pile of black goo before slithering into the vent on the floor. Lime stopped dead in his tracks at the scene before him.

"No it's definitely the yellow wire and the blue wire. Oh come on!" Brown, who had fallen asleep sitting next to the vent, jolted awake at Red's outburst.
"You're still fixing the wires?!" He asked in disbelief. Red turned to face him, grinning sheepishly. "I'm almost finished." "Unbelievable." Brown muttered. Blue ran into electrical. "Guys you gotta come to the medbay!"
Brown looked at red, and red looked at him. "I didn't clean the vent in there!" Red raced out of the room. Brown followed close behind.
________________________________
Everyone had gathered in the medbay. Yellow was really hurt, but alive. "Who...what did this?" Pink asked. No one answered, except black. "Hey guys...where's cyan?"
"Right here." A voice said from behind him. Red yelped and jumped into Lime's arms. Lime dropped him. Cyan had apparently been there the whole time, they were just quiet.
Brown was lost in thought. Did that goo thing do this? No way, it's to small. Someone their size did this. One of them did this.
"Guys." Brown said. "I think there's an Imposter among us."
"It's Impostor with an O, not an E." Red said. "He said it out loud, how can you misspell a word you're saying out loud?" Lime questioned. "It just sounded like he said it with an E."
Purple smacked red, and Julie face palmed. "Ok, so one of our crewmates is hurt. Let's uh..." black didn't know what to do. Black was technically sort of the captain. White was his commander, but white went home after an accident involving a blowtorch.
This team was his responsibility. He wouldn't let them fall to the same fate as his first team. Seeing yellow in this condition was already bringing up bad memories.
"Let's just continue as usual. Brown, stay in here with Yellow. Red, make sure to check in on them. Everyone else...as you were."
Red saluted. "Eye eye Captain." He walked over to the vent in the floor, opened it, and hopped in.
"I'm gonna go clear the asteroids." Blue said. "I'll help. Everything's better with two." Purple said, winking at blue. Blue just stared at her with a blank face. "Sure, whatever." Purple grinned before taking his hand and power walking to the weapons room. Lime just went to the cafe. Dealing with Red's bull crap made him hungry.
Black had business to attend to in storage. So he left Julie with Pink. They headed to security. Pink, who was carrying Julie, set her down beside the desk, and then sat down to watch the cameras. Pink took off her helmet to see them better. Julie just stared at her. Then her gaze shifted to the helmet. She picked it up and put it on. "I'm pink now." She said.
Pink smiled at her before turning back to the cameras.

"This is surprisingly relaxing." Red said to himself, as he wiped away at the dirt above him. He was on his back, cleaning the top of the inside of the vent. Even though everyone else on the ship thought he was wasting his time, Red had discovered mold in some of the vents. Plus, he was pretty short and probably had the easiest time fitting in them. He was meant for this job, he knew it.
Suddenly he heard rumbling behind him. That's weird. Maybe lime decided to help him? Red saw black goo coming toward him. Definitely NOT LIME.
Red crawled like his life depended on it, which it did, until he saw the vent that lead into the security office. The goo was moving fast, but not fast enough to catch red.
Red had taken off his space suit hours ago for easier vent travel. Now he was just in the black jump suits his team put on before their space suits.
Red looked behind him, and saw not black goo, but....Cyan!! What the actual frick? What the actual frick?
"Red!" Julie cheered happily. Pink turned around, to see red sweating and out of breath, eyes wide with fear. Julie hugged his leg. "Red you ok? I told you to take breaks while doing that, it gets hard to breathe in the vents." Red just stared at the floor, still panting.
He ruffled Julie's hair affectionately, briefly putting on a smile for her, then he bolted out of the room and ran to the cafeteria.

Purple blasted the final asteroid to oblivion. "You're pretty good at that." Blue stated, impressed. Purple got off the chair. "Maybe I can show you how I do it? Ya know, give you some private lessons?" Purple leaned in closer. Blue stepped back. The emergency meeting alarm went off.
"That's probably important." Blue said, walking out of the room. Purple groaned before following him.
It wasn't long before everyone had gathered in the cafeteria. "Red you better have a good reason, or I'm kicking your ass." Purple said, very irritated. Red folded his hands nervously.
"GuysIwascleaningtheventsandCyantriedtokillme."
Everyone just stared at him. "What?" They all asked in unison. "Iwasintheventsandcyanturnedintoblackgooandtriedtokillme!" Purple put her hands on his shoulders, he was shaking. "Red calm down. Ok, explain what happened, SLOWLY."
Red took a deep breath. "I was attempting to cleanse the ventilation unit when an unwelcome guess attempted to murder me. The attempted murderer in question was the individual known as Cyan."
Black held up hands to say "stop." "Ok go back and explain again but like...normally." Red took another deep breath. "Cyan tried to slide on me in the vent, literally."
Everyone turned to Cyan, who was sitting at the table with her hands folded. She smiled brightly at red. Her green eyes almost shined with glee.
     "He was probably hallucinating due to lack of oxygen." Pink said. Everyone dismissed red, with lime and purple telling him to get some sleep. Red knew what he saw. And brown knew that he may have messed up.
     Red wasn't gonna give up easy though. The vents could wait. He needed to gather evidence of Cyan being sentient alien goo. 
It was...DETECTIVE TIME.
