Day 3- Light Speed: Part 1

The crewmates were breathing heavily as they steadily still pushed them selves to running the remaining metres of their first workout session on the Skeld. Everyone in the team were generally fit but the running was very long and it was very early in the morning or at least what felt like morning.

Before the training began the members of the ship received a digital screen that can be accessed with their thoughts of the map of the ship with their location also stalled in it and a report button at the corner of the screen apparently used to report a body that the Skeld explained yesterday about the imposter but for Fafner he got a little bit more than that. There was a sabotage screen uploaded for him too it featured a bunch of small circles on the surface and a layout of the Skeld some with exes and some without.

The Skeld personally explained to him the use of all the functions on the screen before he started his daily training with the other crewmates, ignoring the loudmouth Armel as much as he could but he did not forget to safely tuck a laser gun into his storage compartment of his space suit.

Fafner felt slightly nauseous as he patted the body of the gun. After the training was over he chants in his head excessively just do it, just do it.

Coincidentally Misha walks out of the deck to the Shields and Fafner takes this as his opportunity to take a crewmates life. He tries to sneakily follow Misha and once the two of them get there Fafner feels for his gun and is about to take it out while Misha is downloading some data but unexpectedly Misha turns around and stares directly at his eyes looking like he was about to pierce through Fafner's whole being with his eyes alone and Fafner stands there frozen with his hands still touching the gun in his pocket sweating profusely.

"What do you think you're doing" Misha says in his icy slightly deep voice and Fafner's eyes widen in panic and paranoia. He knows, he knows, he fucking knows. Fafner rattled his brain and a million ideas came to him in that split second sadly as their eyes were still locked together he could only keep quiet and occasionally open his mouth in a daze; when he finally got the courage to say something the ship suddenly trembled lightly and the Skeld's voice came through a speaker in the tense atmosphere.

"Preparing for light speed" the mechanical voice came out and a light headed feeling hit the two people in a stare off Fafner was the first to act quickly grabbing Misha into his chest and putting his own head on top of the latter's.

"Get off me you stupid Eniripsian" while trying to aggressively get out of his hold Misha clamoured but Fafner retaliated by holding him closer knowing if he didn't the consequences wouldn't be nice especially travelling at such speeds without a protective sphere around them.

After five or so seconds Fafner opened one of his eyes and looked around and Misha took this as his opportunity and pushed the taller away with a lot of force which caught Fafner off guard.

"You dumbass are you from a decade ago or something, light speed doesn't affect us anymore" Misha angrily said and stumped out leaving a blushing Fafner alone killing himself over and over again in his head for his ignorance.

Is that really the difference between two years of no space travelling

Fafner groans loudly and hits himself lightly

Gosh I really am a dumbass

.

At the deck of the Skeld most of the members of the ship look around seeing vast space flying pass their eyes in a matter of seconds but that fascination quickly turned to panic when a loud screeching sound resonates through the whole ship; suddenly the whole ship stopped - time and space seeming to stop as well for the crew mates-

"Systems down"

The Skeld's voice seemed to ring in their heads while the ship stayed afloat in the middle of no where only small planets and dwarf stars being visible nearby

Cather immediately reacted and quickly went to the command center of the ship and tried to make the ship respond as best as he could

"아 씨발 ( ah shit)" Du-ho muttered quietly while rubbing his eyes, Cather still trying to log onto the Skeld, the twin's huddle up together, Kiki looking calm but internally troubled, Norfax no where to be seen same with Fafner and Misha, Armel in the corner soaking in nervousness yet slight curiosity.

Kratuixx takes a look around the room and quickly stands up to grab the group's attention "Everyone calm down" he says in an affirmative voice "I'm sure we can fix this slight accident we are having right now just unless we stay calm"

"Slight accident?! someone obviously had to make the ship go into light speed and now the ship's broken. Take a look at the Skeld dude unless we have a mechanic on our team we'll be stuck floating in space for who knows how long" Kika disdainfully said while looking at Kratuixx with a glare in her eyes.

"okay guys let's not get into a figh-"

"I'm just trying to get a grip on the situation here human" he retorted cutting off Armel's words

"Wow~ you stupid bardan clan folks always acting high and mighty well if you didn't realise we are out in space right now and your useless influence on planet Titan doesn't apply here" Kika did not seem to back off and what she said seemed to get on Kratuixx' nerves a lot.

"Do you have a problem with me human?" Kratuixx provokingly said getting closer to her face. A heated stare broke out between the two.

"Would you two stop fighting there are more things to worry about at the moment" when Du-ho said that Misha came in and assessed the heated atmosphere and went to stand in the corner of the room and Fafner comes in not so far from him and leans on a wall.

The two crewmates that were arguing simply humphed at each other and went back to were they stayed in bad moods. A long sigh came from Cather

"I think I can get Skeld(the AI) to run but the ship itself.... probably not so don't get your hopes high but for now go around the ship, find the root problem and any other issues with the ship and report back to me; go now"

The members dispersed in teams of twos while Cather stayed back trying to get Skeld to respond. The twins went off together to the North of the ship, Misha and Fafner to the West, Kika and Armel moving East and Du-ho with Kratuixx going to the South of the ship
