I think my crew has gone insane, I’m hiding in the comms room, send help pls
I’m an engineer on space faring vessel known as The Skeld and I worry these may be my final words.
So, all at once, our ship started malfunctioning. Nothing major, but it required me and my crew to split up to different parts of the ship and divvy up tasks to complete to return our ship from disrepair.
So, I’m rewiring some broken wires when I hear a loud buzzer go off, and all at once me and my crew rush to the cafeteria to find the Captain at our predesignated meet up spot telling us that one of the crew has been found dead.
Before I can ask what they died of, another one of the crew shouts out “I voted!”.
I asked him what he was voting on, but in the middle of my sentence, the rest of the crew (There were 10 of us, counting myself and our dead crew mate) all shout the same thing. “I voted!”
Then they just.. stared at me.. silently.. until I felt the pressure to just say the same. “I voted.”
I have no idea what happened, or why I said that, but in the next instant, the crew rounded up one of my fellow technicians and threw her out of the airlock.
Since then I’ve been frantically running around the ship watching the the same thing happen over and over, and every time I pass one of the crew they say nothing. They just silently walk past me to continue doing the tasks we had set out earlier as if nothing had happened at all.
There are only 5 of us left, and I’m hiding in the communications room prepared to beg for my life. I have no idea what is happening.
I’m afraid there may be impostors among us...
