Red is a cheerful, yet shy, crewmate on the XX200. He and his bestfriend Blue try to do their best on the ship so they can make it to what hopefully will be a new home for those on Earth. However, them and their crewmates all have to make sure the ship stays intact for the long journey ahead. In the midst of doing their tasks, some crewmates have ended up going missing, but why? The only possible answer to this is that someone, or something, is picking the crewmates off one by one. Red begins noticing the faltering amounts of crewmembers and decides to go on an investigation to see why this is all really happening. However, while trying to come up with an explanation, a new member joins the crew. Black, is what they call him. At first, Red didn't think much of him, until he began noticing that Black was kind of suspicious. He hung out with specific people for too long and not long after they would go missing. So, in order to get some more information, Red tries to get closer to him. However, after spending so much time with Black he begins to catch unexplainable feelings for him. Little does he know, the one he might be falling for may not be the person Red thinks he is. What will happen? Will Red get the answers to all of his questions and find out who the one behind all the missing persons is, or will his feelings get in the way?
