Wilbur walked into the ship, adjusting his lab coat and goggles. Techno followed, settling a golden crown over his pink hair. Philza stepped onto the ship, not wearing anything extra, trailed by Tommy who simply chose a hat as his accessory. The Dream Team came on the ship next, Dream wearing his usual lime outfit, Sapnap wearing a black headband, and George with a pair of goggles sitting proudly on his head. Jschlatt stalked onto the ship wearing a black suit, Tubbo skipped along after him, wearing a gold-colored cardboard crown that matched the color of his shirt. The Captain of the ship, Captain Sparklez, stood boastfully with his right-hand man, Captain Socks.

An unfamiliar voice spoke over the ship as the doors closed behind them, "Be careful of the imposter we placed among you. You will have to vote out one person every time you find a corpse. If you finish your tasks, you might get to live. Good luck." The malicious voice disappeared, making everyone on the ship look at each other suspiciously and panicked.

They were all launched into space, gritting their teeth as G-force started to affect them all. The pain went away after they left the atmosphere, the gravity was no longer a problem, only their thoughts were weighing them down.

The first round began as the ship slowed in space, eventually coming to a full stop. They were assigned a device that was sitting on the middle cafeteria table that listed all the tasks they needed to do. Tommy looked at everyone as they scrambled past him, the Dream Team and Wilbur, and Jschlatt all sticking together, Captain Sparklez, Tubbo, and Captain Socks together, and Philza going off on his own to find his tasks. Tommy walked over to his first task, downloading data in the cafeteria, and thought about the situation. They were always put in crazy situations, but not ones that could potentially mean his life and the lives of others. The room started spinning as he took a shaky step forward, not knowing where to go next.

An alarm rang in the air, frightening Tommy.

What's that for? He looked down at his device and saw it had a map of the ship and showed where he was and where he needed to go. He looked around and then back to his device as he started hurriedly walking down the halls. The air got thinner and his breathing grew quicker. He stopped, holding his chest with his free hand. The boy arrived at admin, falling on his knees. He took heaving and panicky breaths as his vision blurred. Arms wrapped under his arms, lifting him and dragging him to the spot where Tommy assumed was where they were supposed to stop the o2 from running out. The alarm stopped and Tommy heard a worried voice talk to him gently, "Hey, Tommy, you okay?" The voice belonged to Phil who sat on the ground holding the boy. Tommy nodded, his head leaning against Phil's chest as he started to imitate his breathing.

"Let's finish our tasks together now, okay?" The older man suggested. Tommy agreed.

Jschlatt strutted down the halls, passing by Tommy and Phil doing a wire task with Wil following him. Schlatt glanced back at Wil, paranoid, as they both stayed quiet. Schlatt felt Wil get closer as they walked out of the cafeteria. He walked faster, Wilbur's pace quickening as well. He turned a corner, finding himself in the reactor. The businessman, terrified, turned to see Wil's smiling face. A finger tapped on Schlatt's shoulder and he whipped around. Dream looked at him funny but ignored the man's reaction.

"Want to work with us?" He asked, motioning to his other friends, George and Sapnap.

"Yeah, that'd be good," he replied, relaxing at the idea of being with a group. They'd be a lot less likely to get killed if they stayed together.

Jschlatt didn't expect his vacation with his friends to go this wrong. When Tommy had invited him, he couldn't have said no. For all the bits that he had insulted Tommy in, he knew that it had to have taken a toll on the kid, it still did to him. He really respected the kid and was even kind of... fond of him. Schlatt cursed as he was shocked by the wiring task he was doing.

This is going to take a while.

Tubbo was euphoric when Sparklez had decided to come along with them on their vacation. He was- of course -happy to see Socks, though he was a bit envious of him. Tubbo still couldn't grasp the thought that this was life or death for them all. He stayed with Sparklez and Socks, doing his tasks with him. He would've finished all his tasks by now, but Captain Sparklez and Captain Socks were kind of sluggish. He stood around as they slowly finished their duties.

Tubbo had been a fan of the infamous Captain Sparklez since he was small, admiring everything he did and said. Socks was a pretty cool guy, but Tubbo would not allow himself to think of him as better than him; his brain wouldn't be able to take that.

~~~~~

Captain Socks watched as the zealous boy followed them around, ogling at every move that Sparklez made. He would occasionally say something very quietly, then the Captain would ask what he had said. Tubbo would always just shake his head, saying it was nothing. Once, he even gave them a tip to do their work faster. Only Socks had heard it, finding that the task was much easier to do. The Captain had asked what he had said, but Tubbo responded, saying it wasn't important.

A fallacious problem for them all would be if all the lights went out. There would be a lot of fumbling around, and it would be the perfect time for the imposter to kill. Everything is fine as long as the lights stay on, he repeated to himself, pushing his circular glasses up the bridge of his nose.

The lights flickered, then turned off, leaving everyone in the dark.

Frick.
