Among Us: Origin Story
Chapter 34: Sabotage

As usual Mr. Junaidi was on patrol that night. It's normal for him and his friends to stand guard tonight. Mr. Junaidi patrolled while carrying a flashlight and a baton weapon to protect himself.

The lights in the corridor were turned off. Although it may seem advantageous to the bad guys, but actually alarm sensors are installed in important places. That is to anticipate bad things that might happen.

A TAP! A TAP! A TAP!

His steps echoed in that quiet and dark corridor. Though the temperature is cold, but Mr. Junaidi feels so hot. He took off his hat and wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand.

Mr. Junaidi is alone in the area. His friends stood guard elsewhere. Even so, it did not scare him at all.

While walking, Mr. Junaidi stopped when he saw a strange sight in front of him.

Although the lights in the corridor were always turned off, there were still lights in the room that lit up. These lights pierced through the sidelines of the wall and gave a hint of dim light to the passageway. Although it was not too bright, but it was enough to cast a shadow.

The distance is far, but Mr. Junaidi is very sure he saw a human figure standing in the middle of the corridor. He was indeed old enough, but his eyes were also still sharp to catch such an odd figure.

The figure did not move at all. Mr. Junaidi wanted to call him, but he was worried if it was a trap. So he decided to approach and highlight her with a flashlight.

But just one step away, the man suddenly ran away from Mr. Junaidi. Mr. Junaidi was surprised and immediately chased after him.

"Wait on! Don't run!" Shouted Mr. Junaidi.

Mr. Junaidi continued to pursue the figure until finally, the figure disappeared at one turn. Mr. Junaidi walked slowly while highlighting his flashlight in all directions. He also took out his baton just in case.

But after being searched, Junaidi sir did not manage to find the figure. That turn is a dead end.

"Where'd it go?" Murmured Mr. Junaidi while highlighting his flashlight.

But there was only a wall and a vent on the floor. Mr. Junaidi highlighted the vent.

"It looks like he's through here," said Mr. Junaidi.

He actually wanted to enter, but he knew it was also the same as getting into a trap. So finally Mr. Junaidi dejected to follow the figure.

Suddenly his phone rang. Mr. Junaidi picked up the call which turned out to be from his friend who was patrolling elsewhere.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Sir, this is so bad. Some of our friends who served elsewhere were attacked by unknown figures" the person reported.

Mr. Junaidi was surprised, "Are they okay?"

"They're fine, just a minor wound. Some of those who were conscious told that they had been attacked all of a sudden. So they don't see who did that" he explained.

Mr. Junaidi sighed in relief, "Thank God then. Take them to medbay. Should I go there?"

"no need. I'm reporting this too so you're careful. You're the only one on duty. No one will know if something bad happens to you. Be careful!"

"Alright, thank you for your attention," Mr. Junaidi turned off their communication connection and looked back at the vent.

"Don't think that you can escape from Mira HQ" whispered Mr. Junaidi to someone on the vent. He immediately left the place and returned to patrolling.

The next day...

Mr. Junaidi relaxes in the cafeteria while sipping hot coffee and enjoying some light snacks. He noticed the Crewmate The Skeld 385 who were sharing their respective tasks.

He kept staring at Red's face from behind those people's backs. There was a strange feeling that made him not bored to continue staring at that face.

Black noticed the gaze and felt displeased. He immediately shifts Red's body until it is covered by Lime's body.

"Why?" Red Whisper. He was distracted by Black's movements.

"There's nothing" replied Black.

Mr. Junaidi, who was aware of Black's body movements, only snorted a smile and sipped his coffee again.

"When do you want to go on?"

Mr. Junaidi turned his head and saw Gregory sitting next to him.

"So, what's wrong with you? It doesn't seem like much to the boy" asked Mr. Junaidi, changing his seat to face Gregory.

"I remember the examination of that time. Why does everyone look so ordinary to them? Though there was clearly a murderer among them" he grumbled.

"Maybe because they trust each other" Junaidi sir ate the snacks.

"But that trust could betray them someday. By the way, you look so obsessed with that boy," Gregory commented and ate.

"I'm not obsessed with that kid, but with someone who looks like him. Red reminds me of him, the person I love," explained Mr. Junaidi while daydreaming.

Just as the Crewmates were about to do the task, suddenly a voice shocked everyone in Mira HQ.

THE TAT! THE TAT! THE TAT!

Red lights illuminate the place. Everyone was shocked and panicked. Scientists and guards ran in one direction.

"What's this?" Red's confused. Suddenly Black pulled him to the edge so as not to be hit by people running.

"Sabotage," Black replied briefly as he looked around her.

"Sabotage? Isn't this exactly what happened in The Skeld 301 back then?"

"Indeed. If not treated, it will be very dangerous. This place could explode, "The sound of the alarm stopped and the red light was back to normal. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief.

"How do they handle it?" Red asked as he watched the people who had been running.

"The center of this sabotage is in the reactor. Overcoming it is very easy. Just stick your hand on the palm scanner, then this sabotage can be overcome," Black replied.

"But who did this?" Inner Black.

Suddenly the crisis alarm went off again and the place was again lit by red light. Everyone was surprised and confused.

"Again?" Red is getting confused.

"Come on Red," Black pulls Red's hand and takes it to the Greenhouse.

Black approached the tube containing the plant then slightly bent and pressed a button containing the numbers according to the one written on the paper. Sabotage stopped again.

"Is this something that happens?" Red asked Black who was already standing tall.

"Sabotage is common for a place that stores many important objects. But if the sabotage happens in a row like this," Black suddenly releases his headphones quickly and does not have time to continue his words.

"Why?"

"Sabotage again."

Red's surprised, "Sabotage? But the crisis alarm doesn't turn on."

"This is sabotage comunication. Take a look at your tablet, "Red turned on his tablet and found the screen full of ants.

"This sabotage also affects my headphones. Let's go to the office," take Black and then they go to the office that is dealing with admin.

Black approached one of the tables on which there was a device and a piece of paper attached to it, just like the one in Greenhouse.

Black presses the number button according to the one on the paper. Some time he pressed the same number until finally the sabotage stopped.

"Why so long? Didn't you just hit the numbers like the one at the Greenhouse?" Ask Red.

"This is different from O2 sabotage. In order to fix the sabotage comunication in Mira HQ, there must also be people pressing the buttons in my office simultaneously. So one person here and the other one there. Another with O2 that if this side is finished, can go elsewhere," explained Black.

A call came in and stopped their chat. Black put on his headphones again and answered a call from White.

"What's wrong?"

"Black, this is bad. Someone was attacked by the Impostor," Black was surprised by White's words.

"Impostor Attacked? How could? Where are you now?" Black and Red immediately ran out.

"I'm in the cafeteria now. Impostor attacked that guy while we were all busy with sabotage. Now the man was unconscious" White explained, and there was a very noisy voice across the street.

"We'll be there" Black replied, then shutting down his communications.

They both ran towards the cafeteria. Impostor is getting crazed now. They must stop him immediately before more and more victims.
