Chapter Text
Black begins to pick up Cyan's journal, looking at it. They remember how much of a jerk they were towards Cyan, but the alien eggs were the only thing that made them close; now the Hypoxia made them realize they were in love with them. They began helping to sweep the blood out. Blue was more guilty about failing at their job and as backup captain. They were just a fuck me prop to people; the crew never had the heart to say it out loud. They could notice how the blush at them. During an oxygen shortage, their honest opinions were shared; at least Lime didn't snitch. Blue knew that they were responsible for 2 deaths was bad enough. Blue went to the Medbay. Brown followed after them. They were ready for their next victim.
Purple looked up at the stars and couldn't help but feel the agonizing cold. They turned around to see the rest of the dead Crewmates.
"Betrayed by my pet fish." Purple frown.
"It's okay! I mean-" Orange was about to explain the rules.
"Not a good time, Orange." Yellow snapped back. "Listen, I'm mad as you too, Purple."
"I made them have their fish on board," Red said.
"Really... so you risk Purple's life over-" Orange yelled.
"No one is in the mood-"
"How about doing a bet; the winner gets bragging rights," Red said.
"What's the bet?" Cyan asked.
"Guessing the next death." Red smirk.
"Red, that's the stupidest thing you've ever thought of." Purple chuckles.
"Hah, I made you laugh."Red chuckles.
"Bet it's White next," Purple said.
"It's Blue, I tell you." Red smirk.
"It's Green," Cyan responds.
"I'm praying that Brown will realize what they're doing is wrong." Yellow spoke.
"Either way, we shouldn't make bets about a crewmate's future death." Orange gets annoyed.
"You're implying that we should let people die." Yellow turns.
"Don't twist my words. But Black is next."
"Can we all just relax?" White asked.
"How can we murder on the ship? We must find the killer right now!" Black yelled.
"We must get Brown out," Lime yelled.
"Where is Brown?" Green asked.
"So they are the killer; it makes sense." White shakes.
"That's impossible; they care about- yeah, Yellow death probably fuck them up, but we need to watch out now. Maybe they're hiding, knowing we will eject them." Black theorizing.
"Blue went back into Medbay; they may be in danger." Lime ran.
"Wait... I have a better idea." White stop.
"What?" Lime stared.
"Brown probably locks up the Medbay door, so here's the plan: Lime must come through the vents, and if Blue gets attacked, open the doors and let everyone in. We get to obtain Brown." White explain.
"That's a good idea." Lime went into the vents.
"Green, tell me where Lime is supposed to go." White grabbed a map.
"The first time you did something that didn't require others to do it for you." Black smirk.
"Being in this ship changes things. Black tried to use your knowledge of rocks to find in Cyan's journal about rocks that calm down the soul."
"Got that."
As Blue was in the Medbay, the scalpel was in their hand. They could just kill themselves right now, but then felt their upper body being covered by a head.
"So this is when death takes me whole. What are you planning: stabbing, hanging, do it."
"Nah, seeing you on the brink of suicide is more fitting. I want you to suffer for a few minutes before I let you." Brown whispered. "Now what to do first?" Brown touched Blue's leg. "I wouldn’t mind doing this to you." Brown grabbed the knife and cut their face. "A pretty little sex toy for others to say who would love you just for looks other than Lime, what would you have now?"
Blue didn't respond; they were done with life, after all. They were used to the objection from high school. That caused them not to be around others since then.
"What happens now if I kill someone else instead?" Brown asked.
"More death..." Blue whispered.
"Red didn't let anyone die until White and Green came along, so blame them."
"They were just meeting everyone they didn’t know better."
"You were always a sex object. " Brown placed the scalpel in Blue's hand. "Kill yourself; you will do everyone a favor."
Lime crept up the vent, their mind telling them to scream out loud and punch Brown. But notice their was held with a knife; things won't do anything better here.
-Click- Brown pops their head and notices Lime. They quickly grabbed the scalpel and tried stabbing them, but Lime opened the Medbay door and damaged their visor.
"Gah... keep fighting with the alien." Lime sprayed the salted water.
"My visors." Brown rubbed their eye.
Green and White wrapped a rope around Brown, trapping them.
"Bring them to the Cafeteria," Lime yelled. "Blue, are you okay-" Blue's body was sliced open with a scalpel; blood was flowing.
"No no no... I need some-"
"Stop..." Blue whispered. "It's okay. I have to go down in the ship, and I deserve death anyway."
"No, stay with me, Big dog." Lime tried not to cry.
"Look around you guys did amazing as a crew, Black is nicer to others. You're trusting others. White is more independent, and Green is much braver and could be captain, and in a few years you guys can do this and keep fighting..."
"We still need you..."
"No... You don’t need me. I trust you, Lime. Keep fighting." Blue's hands were starting to grow cold as they were dead.
Lime quickly covered their eyes and kept walking to the Cafeteria.
"What am I doing? This isn't even Storage anymore. It's a cemetery." Black began to wander around the Storage. Then noticed Cyan's dead body. "Thanks for opening up to me, even if I was a jerk to others." Black smiled. Cyan's ghost was pushing the journal to Black slowly. "Huh?" Black picked up the journal.
Black turned the pages of Cyan's notebook and read a bit.
'Everyone on this ship is so different, but I'm gonna do my best to match their energy.
My star signs are retrograde, but I'm gonna put in so much effort that it's gonna flip to trendy-grade.' Black took a sigh. The little bit of the words gave them a bit of happiness. "Where is the thing about calming down emotions?" Black asked. Noticing the rocks had one thing about the sentence, one of the rocks looked similar to Cyan's necklace.
Cyan tried to take it off the corpse and give it to Black, but struggled, then hugged it around them as protection. Black grabbed the necklace and rubbed their eyes, trying not to cry. "I avenged you, Cyan." Black ran.
"What are you planning on ejection?" Brown asked.
"No, that would be murder if you were an alien; we wouldn't hesitate," Green spoke.
"I would murder you as an alien. " Lime sprayed an anti-alien weapon at Brown.
"Stop that their was no crewmates, alien. Yes, I killed them, but the Fish was I didn't know it was Purple's." Brown muttered.
"You killed 2 animal pets on this ship; that's too far," Green yelled.
"Can we talk about Blue's dead body?" White stated.
"They committed," Brown stated.
"Shut up," Lume yelled and used the weapon again.
"Lime, stop it will only get worse. It's a matter of helping Brown because... over half the Crewmates are dead because of most of their actions. The main question is why?" White asked.
Black came out with a gem necklace to place it on the table. "Calms the mind, at least in Cyan's journal.
"I wanted revenge from Yellow," Brown answered.
"Yeah... Yellow wouldn't go on a massacre of the crew because of losing some of their love..." Black spoke.
"And before you say we would've done it too, Me and White didn't go crazy over this. Lime will only hunt down the killer or get themselves killed by the killer in front of everyone to prove a point. Black will only feel guilty and mourn them." Green yelled.
"Oh, you are guilty too," Brown said.
"Didn't you listen to Green's argument, or were you too busy thinking about your next kill?" White asked.
"The point is we are all guilty, even Yellow, in our own way. We don't know how long they've been inside; you could've noticed where you were." Green yelled.
"I was being lectured by Orange around the time frame..." Brown spoke.
"Yeah, you weren't exactly a saint in that situation either." Lime spoke. "And don't made be have sexual thoughts when oxygen is down."
"Not the time." Everyone yelled back.
"We're all gonna get fired anyway," Black said. "The eggs are gone anyway."
In the middle of the night, most of the people were taking shifts of watching Brown, making sure they didn't kill anyone in their sleep. Black was more into reading Cyan's journal. Green was talking about worms to Brown. White was doing their job well and hoping they would get home. Lime was spraying salt whenever they were annoyed or angry.
The morning after Brown got tired, they killed almost everyone on the ship; most of them planned their funeral for everyone and invited Brown for some reason. They put ropes around them during the time making.
"Okay, we all can explain Red was a shitty captain, but they did care for everyone," Green spoke.
"I never interacted with others at the start, but other than Green, Orange was teaching me everything. So rest in peace for them."
White spoke about Orange.
"Okay, Purple and Cyan... Purple was serious and wanted people to take their job seriously since they care for the crew's safety. We are sorry for blaming you. Cyan, I hate that I was a jerk to them in the past, but I did care, and I stopped being a stone wall and let them in."Black stated.
"I only trust Blue the most out of them both, not because they were attractive. I hated treating people by looks; they were kind to others, and I let them in because that's how I fell in love." Lime grumbles.
They were waiting for Brown to speak but stayed silent.
"You can say about Yellow, we never planned that, but we want to mourn them properly since we didn't let you..." Green comforted Brown.
"Kill me, I deserve it," Brown stated.
"We still don't want to mourn you, yet we can't mourn someone responsible for 90% of the Crewmates' deaths." Black face palms.
"Are you saying I didn't go too far?" Brown asked.,
"No, no, no, you went too far about a week ago; you're at risk of Jail." White correct.
"Then let me do it myself..." Brown grabbed a knife in their pocket. To stab themselves.
Everyone looked around to quickly make sure they were with Yellow.
"So what happens now?" Green asked.
"Don't know really just wanted to leave this space ship." Black said.
"Agree." White replied.
"Jump can't wait to expose the Mira HQ about the eggs." Lime giggles.
"I don't know what will happen but I'm just glad my family will be happy I went home." Green smiled.
"Coworkers feel a right word after this or friends." White spoke.
"Yeah Coworkers are good enough for trust." Black said.
"Yep." Lime stayed.
"Let's pretend this is a trust ball." Green said.
"Really?" Black said.
"It's what coworkers do I start during the crash I drink 2 wines ups and was stone cold for 3 hours." White confessed.
"Mine turn I guess I smoke cigarettes not because I like only to tick Orange off." Black replied.
"My secret is I'm 21 years old and I never had sex until on the ship." Green blushes.
"Eh... never shock me since you blurt out loud during Hypoxia stuff." Lime mutters. "Uh... I never say this I use to smoke every since my 5th birthday and stopped because I realize the lung cancer is the main root so that's is why I sound much order."
"Who did you lose your virginity to?" Black asked.
"White." Green said.
"I'm a whore to my family if they found out this my 20th body." White smirk.
"I'm going back into the vents. " Lime jumped into.
