Suddenly, the lights go out, and all three astronauts rush to the electrical room to turn them on again with the ghosts following. When they arrive, Black and Cyan are the only ones who fix the lights because Lime stands by the doorway. When the lights turn on again, the door closes behind the three astronauts, and Lime stands in front of it menacingly. The ghosts are scared. Brown and white hold onto each other while Pink approaches Lime. Cyan and Black panic, but then take action. They both grab Lime so he can't do anything, unknowingly crushing Pink, whose body they cannot feel. Pink quickly jumps away and joins Brown and White while Black opens the door. He and Cyan then take Black to the cafeteria, where they have another meeting. Black is furious. Lime panics and says the first things that come to mind.

Lime: I was with you guys the whole time! How do you know it's not Cyan!?
Cyan: Don't put this on me! I actually helped with the lights while you stood there menacingly!
Lime: You two were already fixing the lights when I entered the room! I was the last one in!
Cyan: All three of us went in at the same time! That's your excuse!?
Black: It's pathetic nonsense. You know what you did. You know exactly what you did. You are responsible for most of these deaths, aren't you? Certainly. I can't believe this. I let innocent crewmates float and die in space because of YOU. It's all nonsense and could have easily been avoided!!

Cyan approaches the eject button.

Black: I can't believe I was fooled by someone who wasn't even part of our crew. But before you leave our ship forever, what do you have to say for yourself?

Lime is silent for a second, but Black and Cyan wait patiently.
