Stella and Pyrrha suddenly entered the cafeteria, hand in hand. "Oh thank god." Alec blurted, as he had been worried he had jinxed them. "Sorry guys, I um.. needed a moment." Stella confessed. Jaune raised an eyebrow, "With Pyrrha?" He asked. Pyrrha just deadpanned him, realising what he thought they were doing.

"We have important matters to discuss" Pyrrha spoke as the two girls joined everyone else as they circled around the table. "In the span of three days Ruby and Ren have both been murdered, so we have come to the conclusion that there is an imposter on our ship." Stella spoke, as everyone either nodded or looked at one another in suspicion.

"Unfortunately we didn't find much at all suspicious when it came to Ruby's murder, so we'll focus on Ren's.. especially since it's so fresh." Jaune spoke up. "Did anyone find anything suspicious in the last three days?" Leon asked, as Adam and Maeve glanced at eachother, before Maeve gave the Taurus a nod. "Maeve, myself and a few others learnt that the vents can open. While Maeve and I were in electrical while the lights were out, we were attacked by another person. Once they left and we got the lights back on, we found the lid for the vent had been removed." Everyone looked quite surprised.

"That's definitely news.." Yang sighed, thinking about Ruby being found dead in electrical, it was quite possible that the murderer used the vent to escape, which meant everyone was a suspect to Ruby's murder.

"Jenni disappeared from communications, care to explain that?" Pyrrha asked as Jenni nodded. "I went to fix the lights with Jasper, I didn't like the idea of him going alone." Jenni confessed as everyone then turned to Jasper, seeing he looked completely fine; not even with a scratch on him. "That is true." Jasper confessed, trying not to shrink back as all eyes were on him.

"This morning I saw Jaune and Ren together around 9am passing through storage. I was heading to cafeteria to make myself a coffee." Miles spoke up. "It was around 9:40 when Lia and Kiko found Nora pacing around in the cafeteria, worried about Ren." Kiko spoke up, speaking in third person, which some others found strange.

Everyone then looked to Jaune, awaiting an answer on what happened while he was with Ren. "I was walking with Ren to do our jobs. He had a task in storage and then communications, and I was heading to navigation." He explained. "That's true, Jaune came into navigation around 9:10." Leon spoke up, as himself, Weiss, Jaune and Pyrrha had been in navigation that morning.

Weiss turned to Pyrrha, "Pyrrha came into navigation after us.." She insisted, a little suspicious. "I was having coffee with Stella in the cafeteria, and then we parted ways as I headed to navigation and Stella went to Yang's room." The Nikos explained. "It was about 9:10 when we parted ways. I was a little worried and made sure Pyrrha made it to navigation before I went to Yang's room." Stella explained.

"Which now makes you a bit suspicious, Stella." Ari spoke up. Stella realised they were correct. "No it doesn't, Stella came into my room just after 9:10, we were together for the rest of the day." Yang explained, clearing the Valentine's name.

Jaune sighed, growing frustrated. "I understand that we are all scared, and paranoid! But we need to think back to any events that were actually suspicious." He spoke. "What about when the lights turned off? Did anything suspicious happen then? So far we know that Maeve and Adam were attacked by somebody that climbed through the vent."

"Hmm.. actually I do have something that is definitely worth mentioning." Weiss spoke up, catching everybody's attention. "I was in electrical along with Elena, Ari and Davina. Right before the lights went out, Davina and Ari suddenly went missing— they both disappeared without a word." Weiss confessed as Elena nodded, confirming this.
