Black had just finished checking the broken ore closer and there were two realizations. Both important in different ways.
One was that some or maybe all the ore were alien eggs.
The second thing was that Cyan had been onto something. Black could see that now after reading through Cyan's journal and studying the so called ore. And it increased the number of wishes Black had right now.
Black wished that they had been nicer to Cyan. Wished that Cyan was still here so that they could tell them they were right. And that they could had seen the good things in Cyan and told them so before they had been killed.
Maybe they would still be alive if they had stayed with them and Yellow.
Maybe they would both be alive.
There was no body of Yellows to talk to. Not unless one went into the void of space. But Black could look once more in the direction of Cyan's body and sigh.
"I'm so sorry Cyan. You deserved better."
Black was thinking more on what to say when a cracking sound close by grabbed their attention. They whirled about to the sound, fearing attack. Instead of attack they saw the crystals and salt circle that Cyan had set up earlier.
A closer look showed that a crystal had broke. Length wise and right up it's very center. That seemed like something that should not just happen. Cyan had handled those things so often. And Black had seen them hit the floor before. Mainly when they had knocked the crystals away when Cyan shoved them in Black's face and they had accidentally fell. So they were not fragile things.
The length wise crack was so odd as well...
Black was reaching for the broken crystal when right before Black's eyes, the other crystal cracked.
There was no longer any hesitation. Cyan had spoke often of vibes. Now Black was getting bad ones. This was a warning. Black liked to believe that maybe.. just maybe, Cyan was helping them from beyond the veil of death.
That was something that they could think on deeper later maybe. Right now, they needed to get out of here. The journal held close their chest, they ran out of the room to look for the others.
Mere moments after Black had ran out of the room, the imposter slide out of the vent. Only to arrive to a empty room. Green could had sworn that they would find Black here. They had heard Black talking to themselves a only a few vents down. They clearly had left but why they had moved on so fast, Green wasn't sure. Whatever the case, They could possibly catch up with them. And if not, well...
Plenty of time to hunt them down.
