Among Us : The Series

Ep.2 (Part 1)

Aimer : There is...one impostor...among us?

Melan : You can't be kidding, right?

Meteor : It's not just some killer, but it's actually one of us?

Yumei : So this means that one of our original members was been killed and replaced by an impostor?

Astra : Seems like it.

Zeno's mind : ...

Zeno : Wait, do you guys have your badges in your suit right now?

Aimer : I have.

Reyna : Yep.

Melan : Right here!

Kruso : I have mine.

Meteor : I also have mine.

(And the rest have a similar answer.)

Zeno : What about Ravie?

Yumei : He wore it also. I noticed it when I checked his body earlier.

Zeno : So there's really no doubt...that there is an impostor among us.

Zeno's mind : I mean, I already knew it. I'm just checking if the dots really connect.

Aimer : Astra, what should we do?

Astra : The Hypernova Division on Planet Deagon is still looking for the unknown member of your team. We have no choice but to wait or your crew will gather evidence to reveal the killer. Ah, and also I will be distributing this to you all in your suit devices.

(Astra transfers something to each of the whole crew's suit devices. Desynchronized beeping is heard from each of the crew's suit devices.)

Aimer : What is this?

Astra : It's a report button. Basically, it has the same mechanism as the emergency button, but it only works when there is a dead body detected in a range of 3m radius. The way how it works is that you only need to press 0 long enough in your mini keyboards and it will start to teleport you all there in the Cafeteria.

Melan : This is pretty convenient.

Astra : Latem made and gave this invention for the meantime. Maybe it can help you out to settle things and vote out the impostor.

Zeno : Astra, may I give a suggestion?

Astra : What is it, Zeno?

Zeno : Can we just request assistance and wait for the Spades of Mira (SOM) to rescue us so that we won't have to worry about doing our tasks and regardless if the ship's system goes down, we will still be rescued by the team?

Meteor : Spades of Mira?

Yumei : Oh, you don't know about them? It's a support division that consists of elite teams to aid those in distress that are connected to MIRA, and you could also say they're a combat force at the same time.

Meteor : Ohh, the name sure does sound cool.

Astra : About that, Zeno, there were multiple random SOS signals found in different planets in our radar earlier, so we deployed all the SOM on each one to check and see what's going on.

Zeno : All of them?

Astra : Unfortunately, yes. All of them.

Aimer : So that means...

Astra : There is no available help at the moment.

Astra : And besides, if you do wait here regardless if the ship has lost power, you will also die because the oxygen fabricator built in the ship will also not function.

Zeno : Ah, that makes sense.

Astra : So there you have it. Remember, one of you all is an impostor. You should keep distance between each other, regardless if you're close or not.

Aimer : Noted that, Astra. Thank you for informing us.

Astra : Then, I must leave. Keep safe, everyone.

(Astra disconnected the call.)

Aimer : *sigh* This has turned into a real pickle...

Meteor : Aimer, what should we do?

Aimer : I'm still thinking about it...

Yumei : The thing is, we can't also stay here for long to avoid someone being killed. We have a current task to do right now and that is to repair the ship.

Cosmos : How about we stay and do our tasks all together?

Melan : That won't do, Cosmos. Astra just said that we should keep our distance from each other.

Cosmos : Ah, right...

Aimer : Considering there's one impostor among us, I'm not really sure whose trust I should believe.

Aimer : How about you, Kruso? Do you have something in mind?

Kruso : Um...how about we interrogate each member here?

Meteor : I think that would be pointless. You know bad guys always lie to prove their "innocence."

Kruso : Ah, you're right.

Zeno : Wait a second...

Reyna : What is it, Zeno?

Zeno : Can we take off all our suits to check any suspicious things?

Aimer : Oh, that's right! Why didn't I think about that...

Melan : Yeah, we can use the body scanner in Medbay.

Aimer : We can't. The scanner in Medbay is currently broken.

Yumei : Sounds like we can't do anything about it. You guys take off your suits and form a line, then I will be checking your bodies. Meteor, Zeno, check all their suits to make sure nothing suspicious is hidden.

Meteor : Roger!

Zeno : Yeah...

Meteor : Wait, do we also need to take off ours as well?

Yumei : Do that later and check first their suits. I will inspect them after I'm done here.

Meteor : Okay.

(A pack of suits have been placed on one of the tables in Cafeteria. Meteor and Zeno then started to check their suits. Zeno is fully aware of their current critical situation and with that in his mind, he meticulously checks every nook of every member's suits to confirm and see if there's at least something suspicious he could find.)

Meteor : Nothing suspicious yet...what about you, Zeno? *investigating*

Zeno : Still nothing---Wait, what's this?

(Zeno finds a photo from a member's suit.)

Zeno's mind : A photo?

Meteor : What is it? Something suspicious?

(Meteor turns around to Zeno to see what he got and he finds a stunning girl in their school days printed in the photo.)

Meteor : Eh...is that Yumei?? Not to mention, she's cute here!

Zeno : Wait, whose suit is this?

(He tries to identify the suit where the photo came and instantly finds out that it belonged to Aimer since the suit was red-colored.)

Zeno : This is Aimer's suit?

Meteor : But why does Aimer have a photo of Yumei?

Zeno : I'm not sure if we could report this...

Meteor : Yumei! We found something!

Aimer : Ah! Hey, Meteor! Don't touch that!

(Aimer frantically dashes to Meteor.)

Meteor : Just what is this?

Aimer : *whispers* It's just a photo, what do you mean?

Meteor : Oh, but why specifically Yumei?

Aimer : Well, that's... *embarassed*

Aimer : Anyway, please keep this as a secret! *whispers*

Meteor : Hmm, okay, you can count on me!

Yumei : Was it something suspicious, Meteor?

Aimer : It was nothing, Yumei. Just a photo of my family.

Yumei : That so? Then come back here so that I can finish inspecting you.

(Aimer returns to Yumei, continuing the inspection process.)

Zeno : So, what was it?

Meteor : Hehehe...not gonna tell you~ *smirking*

Zeno's mind : ...

Zeno's mind :Seems like it's not a harmful secret.

(After a thorough inspection of the whole crew's body and astronaut suits, they found nothing suspicious.)
