Veteran's PoV -

     The Skield is now launched and flying through space on our way to MIRA HQ. I scarcely leave Player's side. I feel safe around him. Some of the other crew gives me nervous glances especially Monster. My hunger continuously naws at me. I can't eat any of the food on the ship. I feel my energy slowly depleting. Player notices this too. At meals I growl in hunger wishing something could satisfy the pain. Player practically force feeds me dehydrated foods hoping something might satisfy me. Each time I become sick but I know Player is only trying to help.
     Something feels off about Mr. Cheese and Ninja recently but I don't understand what exactly makes them seem different. I push the feeling off as then being wary around me but I don't think that's the case.
     Player and I are in electric doing tasks when we hear Mr. Cheese's dog Toto barking. The barking echoes through the vents. My stomach growls at the idea of fresh living meat. Player notices, "You're starving aren't you, Vet?"
     I sigh, embarrassed that a dog barking could make me so hungry, "Yes, it's embarrassing but I don't have much energy for anything now."
     Recently, it takes all my energy to simply do my tasks. I spend most of my time sleeping or cuddling with Player. "I know it's awful but you need substance, I don't want you to starve!" Player nuzzles into me as I do my calibration task.
     Toto's bark echoes through the vents again. My stomachs growls and I feel the imposter inside of me eagerly crawling around in me. I whimper slightly at the idea of murdering Mr. Cheese's beloved dog. Player cuddles closer to me.
     Once our tasks are done I crawl into bed for a nap per my usual. Typically, Player would play video games or walk around the ship but today he crawled in bed with me gently holding me in his arms. I sigh into Player's loving embrace. I crave Player's attention nearly as much as I crave food. Thankfully, Player's affection is always in supply.
     Player wakes me later that evening. The lights are out and the crew is asleep. I know what Player wants me to do and I know what my hunger drives me to do. Player and I creep into the hallways. We stand outside of Mr. Cheese and The Gentleman's room. My imposter senses give me better hearing. Inside I hear two sets of snores. The Gentleman and Mr. Cheese are asleep. I can even hear Toto's rhythmic breathing. I sneak inside the room while Player waits outside for me. Mr. Cheese and The Gentleman lay cuddled together similarly to how Player and I were just napping. Toto stirs in his sleep but luckily doesn't wake. Before he even knows what's coming my hunger acts for me. My long sharp tongue shoots out of my mouth impelling the dog. Toto let's out a small whimper before fading away. The food makes me feel better than I have in a long time. Only after I wipe blood from my lips do I realize what I've just done. I feel terrible for killing Toto but I didn't really have a choice, did I? I hurriedly exit the room and find Player still waiting for me. "Do you feel better, Vet?"
     "I'm not starving now but I feel terrible for Toto and Mr. Cheese," we hurry back to our room.
     There's only a few more hours till the crew wakes. I cuddle next to Player and for the first time in a long while I sleep uninterrupted with a full stomach.
     I wake to loud yelling from the hallways. Player stirs from his place laying on my chest. His beanie fell off in the middle of the night leaving his brown hair messy but still adorable. I don't want to wake yet. I cuddle into Player feeling sleep overcome me when a loud yell sounds again, "Toto! Where are you!?"
     I growl. I'm not ready to face this. Player is sitting up now, starting to dress for the day. I reluctantly crawl out of bed and do the same.
     We make our way to the cafeteria where Mr. Cheese is sobbing and asking all the crewmates if they've seen Toto. Player and I take out seats. Soon enough Mr. Cheese walks up to us, "Player and Veteran, have either of you seen Toto?"
     I feel bad for the orange crewmate but what am I supposed to do? I can't just tell him I ate his dog. Player speaks up, "Sorry, Mr. Cheese, we haven't seen Toto."
     Goober walks up to us. "Veteran, Player, I saw you two walk into Mr. Cheese's and The Gentleman's room last night, what were you doing?"
Goober you idiot, I think to myself. Mr. Cheese places his hands on his hips and narrows his eyes menacingly waiting for an explanation. Player gives Goober a death glare making her scurry away. "Well, you see... Toto was the only thing on this ship that I could eat that wasn't a crewmate and I was starving so I didn't have much of a choice," I half heartedly explain.
     "You could have starved and spared poor Toto!" Mr. Cheese yells.
     The Gentleman rushes over to us right as Mr. Cheese shoots his sharp imposter tongue at me. The Gentleman pulls his boyfriend away just in time for me to not get stabbed to death. "Mr. Cheese, need I remind you that Toto turned on you and made you a zombie, if anything Veteran was doing you a favor!" The Gentleman scolds, "Now how are you going to explain this little episode of yours to the rest of the crew?"
     The Gentleman is right. Everyone is staring at us. "Sorry, The Gentleman," Mr. Cheese nuzzles into his boyfriend, his apparent anger at me dissipated.
     "So there are two impostors on this ship?" Captain asks.
     Mr. Cheese gives a nervous laugh, "Yeah, please don't throw me into space!"
     "Actuarry, there are three impostors," Ninja speaks up from his place next to Bro.
     "Ninja, what do you mean?" Captain speaks.
     "This is what I mean," Ninja instantly transforms into his alien like impostor form.
     Everyone but Bro takes a step back in fear. Suddenly, Ninja transforms back into his normal human form.
     "Woah, so like, Veteran, Mr. Cheese, and Ninja are all impostors that is like totally dope, dude," Stoner comments.
     The excitement is interrupted when a violent shake quakes throughout the ship. A few of the crew losses their balance and fall to the floor. Sirens sound throughout the ship. "Intruder alert!" The Skeld alerts us.
     We all take defensive stances as the air lock opens to reveal a group of white clad astronauts. They carry a bunch of technology with them. The logos on their suits and computers reads MIRA. These astronauts must be from HQ.
     The pressure soon equalizes making the shaking stop. I help Player up from where he fell on the floor. "Uh, I love an unannounced visit as much as the next guy but what are you doing here?" Captain speaks.
     Four of the five MIRA astronauts are busy setting up their equipment while one stays to speak with Captain. "This is a quick check to inspect this ship for impostor life forms." The MIRA agent explains, "One of our facilities has experience a breech in containment and we are actively checking all ships for the escapist."
     I pick up a strong increase in Ninja's heartbeat, he does his best to hide behind Bro. So Ninja is the escaped impostor. That would explain how I never saw him board The Skeld when we first left from HQ.
     "Well, there are certainly no impostor's on my ship," Captain lies to protect us, "you are wasting your time."
     "I certainly hope so," the MIRA astronaut explains, "but this spot check must be done nonetheless. Everyone line up single-file so we can scan you all. By space ordinance you must comply or risk being shot."
     Captain is the first to line up followed by Stoner. Rose and B-day follow. Us three impostors exchange glances. Whoever is the first one to line up will be the most at risk. Ninja nods. He is the most capable of defending himself. However, he is the only one that is immediately identifiable as an impostor. Knowing this Mr. Cheese shakes his head at Ninja pointing to himself. Before we can argue Mr. Cheese takes The Gentleman's hand and leads him to the line. The line is halfway formed with crewmates. A few more join the line before I lead Player to the line. We are just a few paces away from Mr. Cheese. The last couple to join the line is Bro and Ninja with Bro actively trying to shield his boyfriend from the MIRA agents. Player holds my hand and gently squeezes it comfortingly. "I love you, Player," I mumble just loud enough for him to hear.
This is the first time I've ever said that and it very likely may be my last. "I love you too, Vet!" Player smiles up at me.
The MIRA technology has been set up. One of the agents aims a large temperature gun looking device at Captain. The agent simply nods his head in approval before moving on. Crewmate after crewmate is scanned. The Gentleman current has the device against his head. Once he is cleared the agent moves onto Mr. Cheese. Anxious seconds pass. Mr. Cheese's heart rate is through the roof. Then the normally green button turns red. The agent yells out a code and instantly pulls a gun from his belt aiming it at Mr. Cheese. As if acting of instinct The Gentlemen grabs the agent from behind and throws him to the ground. A random bullet is fired imbedding itself in the thick metal roof of The Skeld. Mr. Cheese transforms into his impostor form as does Ninja. I take this as my cue to do the same. Not-Orange who was standing by The Gentleman disarms the agent and points the gun at the MIRA captain and takes his shot. The body falls to the ground, blood gushing from the wound. The Gentleman holds one of the agents to the ground. Two down, three to go.
At this point we are all criminals and the agents fire shots randomly. I hide Player under a table. Mother and her children happens to be hiding there too. She pulls Player close to her protecting him like a child. Player grabs at my tail and tries to pull me close to him. He wants me to hide with him but I can't. Not when the others are risking their lives for us impostors. I see Ninja in his alien form hiding in the rafters of the celling waiting for the moment to pounce on an agent. I know the agent is as good as gone. Mr. Cheese uses his sharp tongue to end the agent that The Gentleman had cornered. Screams are heard all over the place both from our side and MIRA's agents. The loud noises are terribly distracting. In this form my hearing is extremely sensitive meaning I can scarcely see straight with this much noise. A sharp pain pierces my shoulder and I realize I've been shot. I find the source of the pain. A MIRA agent stands his gun still smoking. Adrenaline kicks in and I charge at the agent nocking him down and slicing his neck with my tongue. Once my job is done I colapse to the floor. One agent left but my vision fades as blood oozes from my wound.

Player's PoV -

I watch the scene unfold around me. Mother holds me close to her as Timmy and Franklin cry while huddled between us. My eyes watch Veteran and I pray he doesn't get hurt. Suddenly, a gun is fired and I watch in horror as the bullet imbeds itself in my boyfriend's chest. Ignoring Mother's plea to stay hidden I rush over to Veteran. He's already transformed back into his human form. His unconscious body unable to remain an alien. I hold him close to me and I hold pressure on his wound with my red beanie. Captain manages to shoot the last agent meaning we are no long under attack.
     However, the scene around us is tragic. Mr. Cheese and Veteran are in the worst shape both unconscious. The Gentleman holds Mr. Cheese the same way I do Veteran. Stoner has a large gash in his shoulder, probably from the MIRA agent's knife. Captain helps him to medbay. Bro walks with a limp so Ninja allows Bro to cling onto him. At least no one died... yet.
     I pick Veteran up and carry him bridal style to medbay. Captain has already wrapped bandages around Stoner's injury. After all Stoner and Mother are the most trained in medicine. Mother hurries to Medbay with her terrified children clinging onto her. I lay Veteran down on one of the cots and gently pull down his suit to inspect the damage. Mother helps me.

It appears that the bullet did not make its way to his heart but Veteran is still bleeding badly. Mother gently takes the bullet out with a pair of tweezers. She then instructs me to help her wrap Veteran's wound with some fresh bandages. From the opposite side of the room I can here Stoner instructing Gentleman on how to help Mr. Cheese.
