Among Us: Origin Story
Chapter 55: The Welcome?

That day, the Crewmates were busy cleaning up Polus. Get rid of the snow that has accumulated on the roof of the building and until it spreads inside, repair damaged objects, and distribute Polus plans.

Professor Andromeda's body was buried some distance from the settlement. Professor Zero was never found and they were identified as the killer of Professor Andromeda.

Meanwhile, Lime was busy fiddling with the computers in the communication. He just wanted to make sure that there was no damage and that the condition of the object was still good.

CLICK IT! CLICK IT! CLICK IT!

Lime wiped away the sweat that flowed into her forehead. His hands were moving endlessly inside that thing.

"Can still be used?" Black asked who was standing beside the table because there was no chair.

"Could still. It's just that there are some whose components are already rusty. It must be replaced with a new one" Lime replied and stood up.

"In storage there may be things you're looking for. You can just go there to look for it," suggested Black.

"Alright then," Lime replied and walked out.

"You can rest first if you want to," Black said again when he saw Lime who was a little dazed when walking.

"It's okay, this is also so we're quick to contact Mira HQ. They must be worried about us not being contacted" Lime replied.

"Alright then, but I hope after this you just go to sleep. You've been busy since this morning" said Black and walked out.

BUKS!

"God! Blue, it's a good thing that you didn't hit me" Lime said as she rubbed her chest in surprise to see Blue falling off the roof and almost hitting it.

"At least you're questioning my condition" Blue said, sitting with the snow still on her back and hair.

"You fell in the snow, so you're definitely fine" Black commented.

"Be careful, Blue! The roof is slippery" Yellow exclaimed from the roof of the building next to them.

"I've fallen like this you just reminded me of," Blue grumbled and stood holding his shovel.

Red and Yellow laughed out loud. Black and Lime. Blue pouted then climbed up again to the roof of the communication using the stairs.

"I thought durian fell earlier," led Black while chuckling.

"Be quiet" Blue said grimly.

After 3 days, Polus is finally ready to be inhabited. They have got their own rooms and will go to bed soon because tomorrow they have started working on the task.

"Huft, it's finally done" Black said as he stretched his muscles.

He had just finished preparing the task that would be done by the Crewmate including himself. Now he's laying himself on the bed.

Black stared at the ceiling of his room while daydreaming. She remembered White and began to feel homesick for her friend.

"Please guide him, Captain,"Dhesis Black then slept soundly.

The next day, the Crewmates had breakfast at the cafeteria. Black handed out their respective tasks after finishing breakfast.

"I've already shared it on each tablet" Black said after the task was shared.

"You didn't do the task yourself?" Ask Lime after everyone has left.

"I'll work on it later after I finish contacting Mira HQ, they should know our condition as soon as possible" Black replied as he pointed to his task paper on the table.

"Well then, I thought you weren't working because you're now Captain" said Lime.

"I'm only a substitute and also because I've been converted" Black replied.

They parted ways and Black hurried off to the comunication. He turned on the computer and immediately contacted Mira HQ. Not long after, the call connected.

"Black, are you all right?" Ask Mr. Leon. He was the one whose face first appeared on the computer. He seemed to have been waiting for a call from them.

"We're doing fine. But our plane exploded due to sabotage, so now we can only wait for help from you guys" Black replied without further ado.

Mr. Leon nodded, "I'll send help there immediately. But before that, where's White?" Ask Mr. Leon. That was because all this time Black would connect the communication to White when the call was connected.

Black speechless. It's a little heavy actually telling that to Mr. Leon. But he couldn't ignore the old man's question either, even though he knew that person was hiding something from them.

"White did not survive the explosion," Black replied in a heavy tone.

Mr. Leon was surprised, "You're serious?" That was the only word that came out of his mouth.

"Yes" Black replied briefly.

"But how can it be?"

"Impostor attacked him until he was seriously injured. We tried to take him away, but he refused. Until after the plane exploded, I didn't know he died from an explosion or bled out because we had already left the plane by then. But before we left, he made me the replacement Captain for The Skeld 385 Crewmate, so right now I'm in charge of this crew" Black explained.

"Alright then," Mr. Leon accepted all of Black's explanations.

"Oh yes, one more. Did you find Professor Andromeda and Professor Zero?" Ask Mr. Leon.

"Professor Andromeda is dead and we suspect Professor Zero is the culprit."

"Why do you think that?"

"Because we didn't find Professor Zero anywhere. We only found Professor Andromeda's body in this communication. Looks like he was about to contact you before he was finally caught and killed by Professor Zero. We've buried her some distance from the settlement so as not to disturb."

"Did you really not find it? Have you guys been through all those places?"

"That's it," Mr. Leon bearded.

After he finished reporting everything, Black went to work on his task. Meanwhile, Red arrives at the office. He'll be working on his task fix wiring.

But his gaze was fixed on the hole that was not far from the place of fix wiring. He recalled that Black had previously said that the hole was a vent for the Impostor.

At once Red's feelings became uncomfortable. He was working on the task and his position at that moment turned his back on the hole. He was very scared if something came up from behind and tried to kill him.

Red's unrest has become a reality. A pair of eyeballs noticed Red then went back into the hole. Following which, several tentacles emerged from within the hole. The tentacle was moving closer to Red.

The tentacle wrapped around Red's leg and pulled him towards the hole. Red was surprised and kept holding on to the cable so as not to get into the hole.

"Yarooong!" Red screeched but no one heard his voice because they were somewhere else.

While Red was afraid that he could not last longer. He began to rack his brain to release those tentacles. Until he remembered Cyan.

Red pulled the tentacle away from the hole. It was quite draining of his energy since he had to fight the attraction of that Impostor. Once close enough to the place of the fix wiring, Red disconnects one of the cables and attaches the cable to the tentacles.

Small electrical voltage appears. Although small, but it managed to make the Impostor release Red and throw it up to penetrate the roof.

Red was thrown outside and fell into the snow with his head landing first. But his head landed on a snow-covered rock.

BRUK!

The voice surprised Black. He came out of the lab and looked for the origin of the sound. He was shocked when he saw Red with his head up to his stomach immersed in a pile of snow.

"Ray!" Black then approached Red. He pulled Red's body and sat her down because Red looked dizzy.

"You okay?" Black asked worriedly.

Red did not answer. He held his head which suddenly dripped blood. Black is surprised and immediately holds Red and takes him to the Laboratory.

"Brown, I need your help" Black said.

Brown was surprised when he saw the blood flowing on Red's forehead dripping. He picked up the medicine box and walked over to Red who was already sitting in the corner of the bed.

"Black, get a bandage," Brown asked without turning his head.

Black nodded then went to take the bandage. Brown was busy ridding Red's head of blood. He had to work hard when he found out there was a crack in Red's skull.

"It looks like you should be drugged first" Brown said and injected Red with the anesthetic. Not long after, he fell asleep.

Black returns with a bandage, "How?" Ask her.

"Something worse, there's a crack in his head. I'm going to have an operation" Brown replied.

Brown was busy with his work. Sweat soaked his forehead, even though at that time the temperature was quite cold. Black wiped Brown's sweat with a handkerchief so that his friend was not distracted and could focus.

After an hour, they were finally done. The two of them sat on the chair while sighing in relief.

"He'll be fine" Brown said after capturing a worried look from Black's face.

"Well, we wait for him to wake up and ask him what made him come to this" Black replied.

Suddenly the HP Black rang and there was a call from Lime. He raised the call.

"Why?" Ask Black.

"Black, I saw a pretty big hole in the roof of the office building. Can I fix it?" Lime asked back.

"Fix it. Tumben once you ask," Black commented.

"Who knows you know why the hole formed" replied Lime.

Black thought, "I think I know the cause, but just fix the hole."

"alright. I'll find Blue to help me" Lime replied, ending the conversation.

"Why?" Brown asked after Black finished calling.

"It looks like Red was thrown off the office. It just so happened that I also found Red near the building," Black replied.

"But if he gets thrown, who throws him? Red is heavy enough to be thrown by someone our size" Brown said.

"The one who threw it must be bigger than us" Black replied and approached Red's bed.

"Impostor," said Brown briefly.

"I think so too. Maybe this is how they welcome us. But getting Red to this extent makes me feel sorry for him. He had already gotten so many attacks from the Impostor," Black said then placed his hand on top of Red's bandaged head.
