Hello again.
I gripped the side of my seat, tense with nervousness. The man began introducing himself, "Hello, in orange and I'm the captain. You must be Cyan, red, black, yellow, white, brown and pink?" He guessed, pointing at the different crewmates in turn. I nodded at my name.
"Yessir." That was Red.
"Alright, come meet the other crewmates and then I'll give you your tasks." He paused, frowning slightly, "Did you attend raining on how to complete them?"
We all nodded in response.
"Alright. Did your trainer mention impostors?" He looked mournful at this.
"Yessir."
"Good, remember that it's unlikely one is onboard this ship." Red tensed at this and I reached for his hand, giving him a look which said, I won't let anyone be hurt. We all nodded then stood up, following him to the central room of the Skeld. I recognised this as the cafeteria, I had seen pictures.
"Cyan, red, black, yellow, white, brown and pink, meet Purple, Green, Lime and Blue and vice versa." Thats when I saw the other crewmates for the first time. I stood back as the other crewmates introduced themselves.
"Hi! I'm Lime and Green is my brother and I'm heterosexual meaning I am attracted to the other sex." Lime went first, her blond hair - which was died with lime streaks - bobbing up and down as she spoke.
"I'm Green, Lime is my sister and I'm "gay" or homosexual meaning I'm attracted to the same sex." Green went next, his dark green eyes almost hid by his thick mop of brown hair.
The next crewmate, Blue , made a series of movements with her hands. The thing that didn't make much sense, was to why purple was speaking instead.
"Hi, I'm Blue. The I'm lesbian, meaning I am attracted to the same sex. I'm also mute, purple talks for me." She smiled at Purple as purple finished translating and began her own introduction, "Howdy, I'm Purple and I'm bisexual . That means I'm attracted to both male and females. As you can see, I speak for Blue." The two exchanged a glance.
"Hey there, I'm Pink and Brown and White are my parents. I'm straight." Pink said, finishing it up quickly.
Brown and White went next, White talking for them, "I'm white and this is my wife, brown. I'm Pinks dad and White is Pinks mom. We are straight."
"I'm Yellow, I have no relations aboard this ship and I'm not planning on bonding with anyone." I made a mental note to stay on her good side.
"My names black. I'm Yellows friend and I'm also not planning on bonding with anyone." Okay, stay on both of their good sides.
"My names Red. I'm straight and have no relationships aboard this ship."
"I'm Cyan." And that's all you're getting outa me. I yawned half-heartedly, my eyes showing as little emotion as possible. I swept my gaze over the group.
"When do we get my tasks?" I added as an after thought.
"Now." Orange said, passing out small tablets with multiple apps. One app contained a list of tasks and I picked the one labelled "Cyan, The Skeld, Sheet one. I read it swiftly.
Cyan tasks, The skeld.
Admin: swipe card
Medbay: Submit scan

Inspect samples.
I closed the app and looked around. Red had his hand raised and Orange looked up, nodding to him.
"Can we start?" Red asked, shuffling away from the crowd as he did so.
"Yes, when you're ready you can start." Orange replied, waving his hand.
I opened another document as the others ran off down random hallways, eager to begin their tasks. The document read, "Map-", and then a large map of the ship filled the rest of the page. I took it in and made my way towards the metal corridor that seemed to branch of into Storage and Admin. I took the branch to the side and pulled out my card, still not looking up.
"Oh- erm- you have card swipe too?" A voice awoke me from my though and I twirled around to see Red, standing over the card swipe machine-thing hesitantly.
"Yes, I do, what's it to you?" I winced at my tone but I didn't apologise, instead staring at him.
"I just wondered, anyway.. it's kinda hard-" He replied, undisturbed by my tone. Red's eyes followed me as I made my way to the swipe thing and pulled out a card. Huh. Didn't know that was there. I thought and swiped it over the scanner
"Too fast, try again."
I tried again.
"Too slow, try again."
And again.
"Too fast, try again."
And again.
"Too slow, try again."
And a final time...
"Too fast, try--" I kicked the machine, hard, with my left foot. Regretting it, I hopped backwards and nursed it slightly.
"One more time. That's it. One more time." I promised myself and picked the card back up. I took a deep breath, and...
"Bad read, try again." At this, I screamed internally. I kicked the machine harder, and again, and again, and I was about to, again, when a loud scream broke the silence. I picked up my tablet and card and ran towards where the sound came from. What I saw when I entered Security gave me the unpleasant urge to vomit.
Yellow's remains were lying on the ground, drowning in a pool of its own blood. The lower half of the body was separate from the upper half, cut into halves. Her spine was visible through the gap and her tablet lay smashed beside her. A black liquid oozed from the cut, a sign of venom. I screamed as someone tapped my shoulder and spun around, ready to fight.
I relaxed slightly when I saw it was red, but it was strange, it was almost like there were two reds? And they were spinning? He shook my shoulders and yelled for back up as my world went black.
Heyyy guys! I'm so sorry I keep starting new stories and not finishing them. However, my main interest has travelled from warrior cats so I'm putting those stories on hold for now.
