Chapter Text
Red groaned as they hazily pushed themselves up from the floor; their head was pounding as their vision came back. They could feel ringing in their ears along with their vision being so blurry. Red looked up, trying to make out anything they could see. Yet everything seemed unfamiliar, they only saw a Purple figure across from them, just as they were about to lay back down (their head was killing them). They heard a familiar voice speak up
"Oh my head"
It was muffled but Red could make it out just enough as they saw the Purple figure moving over to them and grabbing their shoulder.
"Red you ok?!" Red heard the person say more felt the ringing start to dissipate and their vision coming back. Red felt themselves being shake as they drunkenly looked up and asked "Purps?"
Red saw Purple looking at them seemly stressed about them, "Redsie you there?" They asked moving back and off them. Red now with the ringing gone and their vision cleared, they looked at Purple before looking around.
"Jeez you scared me Red" Purple sighed
"Sorry" Red apologized before looking around. Both looked at each other for a moment before Red felt something slimly on them as both looked at themselves that were now covered in goo.
"OH EW" They both started to shake off the goo before looking at each other grossed out. "So uh any idea why we were covered in goo?" Red asked as Purple looked around "I'll ask a better one" Purple took a breath. "Where the hell are we?". Red tried to answer only to realize that they clearly aren't at MIRA HQ. Red looked around at the boxes of seemly filled with....rocks?
They looked around not seeing much expect or the boxes along with a desk. Red looked down on the floor seeing Purple's hat and broken rocks and goo all around. "Gross" they mumbled moving away from the goo as they looked back up at purple who was wiping goo form their ha.
"Hey purps you think we-OH MY GOD" Purple jumped "What?!".
"Your face." Red pointed at their face as Purple looked at them, as from what Purple's jacket showed light skin seemly a scar.
"What?"
"Your face." Red pointed as Purple moved their hand to their face before looking at their hand.
"What the" Purple looked at the lighter skin before taking off their jacket and seeing the rest of the scar.
Red did the same looking down and saw the same scar but a bit different. "Ok ok that's uh HOW DID WE GET TH-" Red started to freak out before Purple covered their mouth "Dude not so loud" they rubbed their head. Red gave a sorry look now feeling the headache a bit. "Ok so we got scars and am in an unknown place" Purple sighed getting up. They picked up their hat which had fallen before adjusting it on their head. They offered their hand to Red who used the support to get up. Purple looked at red before looking down and sighing "Are you wearing those crocs AGAIN?". Red raised their hands "Oh come on their comfy!". Purple rolled their visor before looking around again.
"So should we go find someone or?" Red asked as Purple shrugged "I dunno I mean you sure MIRA's not like an secret evil corporation and they sent us to out doom" They joked as Red snickered. Purple smiled before looking at the door. "We should probably leave since uh we made a mess?" Purple gestured to the mess on the floor.
"Yea we should go" Red agreed as they walked out.
"So do we do if we see anyone?" Purple thought out loud
"Uh hide maybe?" Red suggested "I don't know something doesn't feel right about this"
Purple nodded as they both left the room.
Black hummed as they walked into the storage room, they were heading over to do some research on the rocks, mostly for reports orange had been nagging them for and Cyan was busy doing some weird hippie rock crap. No one had seen Red nor Purple but they didn't really care since Purple was most likely in the security room and Red their own room.
As they rounded the corner and stepped in front of the door as it slid open. "Ok just do a normal count on the ro-" Black stepped as they saw the mess of goo and broken rock on the floor.
Black dropped the chart as they rushed up. "Oh shit shit shit" They cursed as the door opened and they heard a gasp and then saw Cyan run up to them. "Please tell me no one was in here" Cyan asked them as Black looked at them.
"Unless rocks that we made sure was safe just fell over a breeze of wind" as Black stopped a footprint.
Black knew in that moment as Cyan was panicky talking.
Someone broke the rocks and most likely had the goo fall on them.
Black took a breath, this was bad. Like really really bad since the goo isn't normal and heck they and Cyan didn't know much but only it affects the biology. They were still trying to figure that out, but they knew if anyone comes in contact with the goo, it affects their biology and according to Cyan the rocks can also affect mental stuff too.
"Cyan we need to go find Purple know who came in here and then go get the others" Black turned to Cyan who was still freaking out over it. "Oh this isn't good I knew the childhood home in my dream meant something" They said as Black looked at them "Thought it meant past friends or life" as Cyan nodded. "Yes but it can also mean-" Black stopped them.
"Look we don't have time for your dream hippie meanings since one of our crewmates could be dead or dying or something else" Black sighed as Cyan said "Well actually the rocks "Don't we want to deal with orange and MIRA about". Cyan nodded "Oh right well I'll go gather out friends" as they went off to call a meeting quickly.
"Ok now to find purple." Black grumbled as they made their way over and opened the door. "Hey Purple" Black called out as they stepped into the dim room lit by only the screen. "Did you by chance see the idiot who went into storage and caused a mess?" Black stepped up about to ask if they saw who went in the room only to see the seat in half turned and empty.
"Oh come on" Black groaned, of course the moment they needed someone, they were gone. They stepped out of the room and started to head sight to the cafeteria if anything Purple may have left early and is with the others.
As they got closer they heard the talk of the other crewmates (expect seemly only Lime) as they stepped in and saw them all around the table in the middle. Cyan is standing up trying to explain but failing since they're still freaking out over it as Black approached up. They wasted no time speaking up over everyone.
"Alright one of you went in the storage room where we said NOT TO GO"
They all looked at each other before looking back at the still panicking and Black who seemed a lot more pissed then worried. Orange pulled up their broad with something as they said "Well then we should do mandatory MIRA role call to make sure all of us are here due to MIRA guidelines.
Black sighed "Orange and their damn MIRA bull crap" before they heard Orange start to call names and they all saying here.
Till they call red's name "Red?".
No answer
"Red?"
Silence as they looked for their captain only to see no sight of them before Blue spoke up "Wait a minute". They started counting before saying "Purple and Red are missing!" That's when it all hit them that oh you know THE TWO PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE THERE ARE GONE.
White looked at Cyan remembering that they were trying to say someting about the goo "So what did you say the rock goo did again?"
Both walked down a hall as Red looked around.
"Hey uh purps you think were still on Intdustria?" Red asked
"Yes?" Purple answered "I mean you think we're in a ship in space or something?"
"Well we did just wake up here and have these scars which are kinda cool" Red shrugged before flexing their arm to show the scar. Purple rolled their visor as they peaked over to the next hallways which seemed to lead to a cafeteria and a room off to the side.
"Hm don't you find it weird we've seen no one here?" Purple looked back at Red who shrugged
"Well I mean the place could be closed and we were left in" Red suggested in a now more nervous as Purple shaked their head. Purple sighed looking back at Red "Doesn't make sense at all Red". Red nodding accepting it as a comforting answer as they started to head to the cafeteria. "Maybe we'll find the janitor or something" Red said trying to give Purple some hope as Purple nodded "Hopefully".
"Hm so after this weird stuff wanna go hit up that one place?" Red asked trying to lighten the mood
"Which one the food truck or the store where you bought your t-" Purple started as Red cut them off
"FOOD truck" Purple giggled at Red's now even redder face
"Thought we agreed to forgot about that" They mumbled as they kept going
"Hmm I made no promise on that and won't be forgetting that any time soon" Purple smiled at Red who groaned.
As they both made their way down, they heard voices, unfamiliar ones as Purple stopped causing Red to bump into them. Purple looked closer spotting a window and instead of seeing the familiar view outside, they saw the seemly dark void of space, before they could get closer or react, they saw someone moving to the entrance before grabbing Red and dragging them into the room and closing the door.
"OH WHAT TH-" Purple shushed them as they heard a bunch of voices talking near them. The moment the door closed Purple started to pace the room. "Oh my god oh my god ohh my freaking god", Red looked away before clearing their throat "Uh Purple you good there?". No answer came out of the intern who was still muttering to themselves and seemly freaking out a bit. Red sighed they knew Purple could be a bit dramatic when thrown in situations like these. Thankfully they were a Purple expert and they so happen to know just how to help!
"Alright Purps you know what you need?" Red asked in a calm yet goofy tone
"What" Purple asked clearly still freaking out over the supposed fact their in space with people they do not know.
"You need a du da dadada" Red drum rolled on their knee before opening their arms "hug!"
Purple put their hands together before moving it to their face and taking a breath "Red we are in space with I'm pretty sure people we do NOT know". Purple stared at Red who still had their arms open, seemly processing the information before asking.
"So still want the hug?" Red looked at Purple as they stepped forward and grabbed red's shirt collar before pulling them closer "Red we are I'm pretty sure we are in space with random people who may or may not be the reason we are here." Purple said clearly a mix of stressed and panic as Red looked at them.
That's when both heard and coughed and turned to the direction of the notice. Looking right at them was a group of people looking at them as they stood there halfway out the door. Purple holding Red who was semi holding on in order to not fall down.

"Hi thereeeee" Red waved
