Summary
“Listen up ‘ere,” started the crewmate with the cowboy hat. He stood up from his seat and planted his foot on the spot. Mareen was what they called him— a crude combination of the two colors his suit changed. “Startin’ now, we’re implementing a kinda buddy system t’ prevent this from ever happenin’ again.”
He’d then nod his head at Grey, “Doctor.”
He held a sizable notepad in his hands, “For the foreseeable future, everyone will do their tasks in teams of two.”
“You’re paired based on the probability that you two specifically would be the culprits, myself included. It is because of this reason that you unfortunately won’t get to choose who you’re with.”
Or, the crew decide that two murders is enough, and the two babies on the ship (who were somehow assigned to each other) get into some shenanigans.

Summary
Violet had been investigating the reactor for about a few hours. Many crewmates had walked by the reactor room by then; some of the more curious ones had even stopped by and taken a peek inside. In all that time, Violet hadn’t found out a single thing. The reactor seemed perfectly fine, but given what happened yesterday, that was scientifically impossible. It seemed like some type of sick joke.
“I... don’t understand,” said Violet with a sigh.
“What don’t you understand?” rang a familiar voice from down the hall.
In walked Waffle with her signature smile. Waffle was one of the few crewmates that was always smiling. Her smile was odd, but it looked good on her.
Violet stared at Waffle with an unintentional scowl. “Was that you just now?” she asked.
Waffle nodded and took a seat next to Violet.
Violet couldn’t help but be bothered by Waffle’s staring. She had a feeling Waffle wouldn’t be going away any time soon, though.
Or, the Capella's sole engineer reaps what the two babies originally sowed, prompting a conversation with an unusual crew member.
