Plot[]
The Crewmates are a race of alien species stranded in space. They try to discover other planets they can live on, and study them. Then they find the planet: Polus, a place that looks very safe for the crewmates, with snow, a tree for oxygen, an office, and even a mini arcade with an asteroid shooter. Then a Crewmate (red), gets infected by a strange infection spreading around Polus. He then kills Pink. He then opens his Extra Terrestrial like mouth, and stabs Cyan with a knife, then Pink's body is reported. They then skip their vote, then Red, scared inside, does a light sabotage. Everyone becomes scared, and goes to Electrical, and fixes the lights, then Red kills Brown with a Gun. Then Lime finds out that Red is the Impostor, and runs to the emergency button in fear, Red chasing him in the meantime, but Red didn’t have enough time, and vote him out, then they find a New ship, and a tower far away. They then go into the ship, an Airship, and head to the tower, Mira HeadQuarters. Or better known as Mira HQ.
