The two crewmates are still nervous, however. They sit together in the cafeteria, and the ghosts float toward them.
Black: I hope we found the real culprit. I can't take this anymore!
Cyan: (putting his arm around Black) I'm certain we did. I trust you're a true crewmate. You sure led our crew with seriousness and integrity. You gave me the impression that you're trustworthy and dependable.
Black: Y-you think so?
Cyan: Absolutely! You seemed to be the only one who kept some semblance of order in here.
Black: I'm humbled to hear you say that, but I still can't help but feel awful about the innocent crewmates who were either murdered or falsely accused.
The ghosts look down sadly.
Cyan: You couldn't have known right away, like I said. Yes, lives were lost, but you worked diligently this whole time.
Brown and White are happy, but Pink is upset because she was falsely accused. Pink sighs, and White puts her arm around Pink.
Black: I hope so. (stands up) Well, we can't continue to sit here and mope. We have a mission to accomplish, and we have to get to the planet Polus. Let's go to the navigation area to make sure we're on the right course.
Cyan: (standing up) On it!
The two remaining astronauts go to the navigation area, and the three ghosts continue to follow them and watch over them. Little do they know that they are not the only ghosts on the ship: All the other deceased crewmates come back to the ship. Only the three other ghosts can see them, and they happily greet each other and chat for a few minutes. One ghost then points out that they can all still complete tasks, so they all decide to look for things to do in order to help Black and Cyan.
After the ghosts complete their tasks, they watch over Black and Cyan, who look for other tasks to do. After checking the entire ship, they notice that all the tasks are complete, and they are slightly confused yet satisfied and relieved. Little do they know that they are not alone. They then stay in the navigation room and watch themselves journey toward Polus, and the ghosts stay with them.
