"Congratulations, Miss Duri. You're leading the fifty-fifth voyage to Polus."

My initial giddiness wore away under a new and frankly uninvited sense of suspicion. Only an hour ago they were set on selecting anyone but me. What made them change their mind so quickly?

"We were wrong about you, Genesis," the woman said. "We now believe you have the potential to do what your unlucky peers could not. However, you should know that there is no room for mistakes."

Nareem leaned forward and picked up his chin. On a normal basis, he was about as intimidating as a rabbit. Now, though, he was pretty close to the office cat's level. "Don't mess this up for us, Miss Duri. Otherwise the consequences will be a lot worse than death."

Genesis has always wanted to lead a mission to the Polus Space Station, orbiting a Jupiter moon millions of miles away. While each attempt to get there has been compromised by the scheming, violent Conclave, Genesis's hopes to become the next captain of the Skeld have not once faltered. 

When she finally gets the opportunity of a lifetime, Genesis quickly discovers that, despite her caution, all is not what it seems. Her superiors have maintained minimal contact, and she has reason to believe any one of her crewmates could be an imposter. Once the killings begin, she must act quickly to outwit the Conclave before she and all her crewmates are murdered in cold blood.

**The characters are original, but this story is based off a game called Among Us. The concept of spaceship crewmates being killed by an imposter does not belong to me, but to the game developers (Innersloth). They also came up with the names "Polus" and "Skeld", as well as the layout of the space station most of the story is set in and the tasks crewmates are required to do.

"We've learned from our mistakes, Altera. Enough blood has already been shed." "That didn't stop the start of World War III, did it?" "No. It didn't. But it ended it." "Human minds are just sacs of salt interacting with proteins. Even now, you live in a world of lies, where everything around you is a construct created by your mind. It betrays you. No wonder why you are all such messes." This is a monument to all of their sins. Many a time, evil was executed in the name of a greater good. While one would hope that humans would learn from the mistakes of our past, we are fickle creatures with short memories, horrible prejudices, and a habit of self-destruction. This is a testament to those who didn't have a voice. Who have a story to share, and yet never got the chance to. (A series of short stories taking place in the world of "Beneath the Ice," covering significant events from before BtI to after. Not labeled as an Among Us Fanfiction because events are not all specific to Among Us.)

"Now I will wipe out your pathetic crew." It hissed. "But I think I'll leave you alive to see it." It said with a laugh. "Then you'll know they're all dead." "And it's all your fault." - Socks and Meme have always hated each other. Blaza, a mutual friend introduced the two and they both seemed to hate each other instantly. The only thing they have in common? Their dream of going to new planets and exploring the stars. Oh, and how much they seem to enjoy annoying each other. After waiting for it all their lives, the crew is going to space. The trip was supposed to go smoothly, traveling to Polus and doing research there and then returning back to Earth. But a glitch in the system sends a virus into the crew, which infects one of the members with a sudden desire to kill the other crewmates. The only problem? There's no way to tell which one is infected. The twisted game only gets worse as more and more dead bodies show up around Polus. Can Meme and Socks finally learn to work together in time to save the few of them who are left? - I read through and edit each of my chapters before they are published, but mistakes still tend to get through. If you notice one, it would be helpful to point it out. Contains Memesfor1 content, if you are uncomfortable with that feel free to leave.
