Red never thought his son would be an alien from somewhere in space. He had been doing his tasks like any other crewmate when his mini crewmate had revealed his numerous number of teeth and tongues and attempted to eat him. It didn't really work out for the little one, though.
Red knew what he had to do, him and the other crewmates had been told to eject any alien on the ship, seeing as it was hard to kill them, but he didn't have it in him to eject the thing. It was too cute. So instead he just sighed, kept the mini crewmate alive, and didn't tell anyone that his son was an alien. Red knew he would have to sacrifice his crewmates to keep the child fed until he was able to go back to Earth. It was fine though, since he wasn't emotionally attached to his crewmates anyways.
As he was doing his tasks in admin, a thought struck him; if his son, an alien, was able to sneak onto the ship, how many other aliens are here? How many of his crewmates are imposters? It was an unsettling thought. His mini crewmate wasn't able to kill him, but fully grown aliens could eat him alive, and he wouldn't be able to help it. Maybe his alien son could convince the other aliens not to eat him, but that would be unlikely. Just then, an alarm sounded. It was for an emergency meeting.
"So someone here is not who they say they are" Blue said as Red walked into the cafeteria. "I found Pink's body in electrical. It was missing it's top half, which means it was most likely an alien" He continued. So Red's suspicions were correct. There were other aliens onboard.
"Cyan was the last person I saw with her" Purple spoke up. All eyes turned to the accused person. Cyan raised his hands in defense, "That's just you. I watched Pink walk into electrical and then I saw Lime go in after him"
"That's true but Pink was alive when I left that area" Lime defended himself.
"I can confirm, I saw it on cams" Orange said.
"How about we all just keep an eye out for who could've done this. Red, you go clean up the body. You guys know what to do if you figure out who the imposter is." Blue said, wrapping up the meeting. Red didn't mind being on cleaning duty, he could let his son eat the rest of the body.
About 2 hours later, Red had successfully killed a crewmate, Brown to be specific. His son had eaten half the body and seemed to be satisfied. He casually walked out with his mini crewmate and went on to do his tasks, like nothing ever happened. Just as he expected, the remaining half of Brown's body was found, and an emergency meeting was called.
"I think it's Orange." Black said. "I'm like, 99 percent sure she came out of medbay, where I found Brown's body."
"I did not! All I did was walk by there."
"That sounds kinda sus to me" Cyan said. Black nodded his head in agreement.
"Wha- but I..." Orange couldn't think of anything to defend himself with.
"So we all agree that it was Orange?" Red asked. Everyone agreed. "Alright, Orange, come on" Red said. Orange tried making a break for it but he was stopped by Purple and Green. "We'll take him to be ejected." Purple announced as him and Green grabbed Orange and left. Everyone had gone back to doing their tasks and Red went to clean up the body. As Red was putting the remains of Brown's body into a bag, he couldn't help but feel like something was off. He knew he should still be wary of his crewmates, seeing that there was no way to know for sure that Orange was an imposter. For now though, all he could do was wait.
~With Black and Cyan~
"Good job on that last kill, Orange was too nosy to be left alive." Black told Cyan. Cyan looked at him in confusion. "Wait, I thought that was you." Black froze, if he didn't do it, and if Cyan didn't do it, does that mean there's a third imposter on the ship? "I guess that means there's another imposter here." Cyan said, voicing his thoughts. "But that's weird, we would've know if another alien was onboard." Cyan spoke the truth. The would've been able to sense a third alien on the ship. It couldn't have been a baby alien, they're too small to be able to kill anyone. So what if someone's doing the killing for them? "We're going to have to investigate."
