Jasper steadied the plate of cookies in his hand, as he walked down the hallway to Yang's room. She'd once shared it with Ruby, but now was probably quite lonely.

The brunette passed Abra in the hallway, who still looked half asleep and must have left her room to assumably use the bathroom. "Hi." Jasper smiled as the sleepy golden haired girl smiled, "Hey."

Jasper tilted the plate towards her, "Cookie?" He asked. Abra smiled, before taking one. "Thanks Ace." With that they parted ways.

Jasper reached Yang's room and reached out his free hand to knock on the door. After a moment the door swung open, as Weiss stood in the doorway. "Weiss? Hey." Jasper greeted her, a little confused as Weiss shared a room with Davina, not Yang. "Hey Jasper, I uh was just leaving— ooh are they cookies?" The Schnee suddenly asked, as Jasper nodded with a smile, before he offered the plate to her. Weiss took one, and thanked him.

The bluenette turned around and faced her friend. "I'll see you later Yang." Weiss said softly before she walked over to her. The pair embraced. "Thank you for keeping me company Weiss, it really means a lot." Yang said quietly, before they let go of eachother. The Schnee then left, as Yang smiled at Jasper, "Hey Jasper."

"Hey Yang." Jasper greeted her, before offering the plate of cookies to her. "I made you these." He said shyly. Yang smiled, before taking the plate, "Aw thank you."

She took a bite out of one, noticing it was a bit crunchy. Nevertheless, she didn't comment on it, thinking this was a very nice gesture. Jasper sat beside the girl, unsure about how close to sit to her.. or if he should sit next to her at all— he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.

"These are great!" Yang said, before she handed the plate back to Jasper, with a couple left for him to eat. "Thanks.. Hey I'm really sorry about Ruby. I can't imagine how upset you must be." Jasper managed to say, with a sympathetic expression. Yang sighed, "It feels so surreal.." She confessed.

Jasper didn't know what to do, what to say, but it meant a lot to Yang that he was at least there with her. Suddenly though, the Clarke boy wondered if their silence was uncomforting. "Hey if you uh.. wanna be alone, let me know I can—"

"No."

Jasper blinked in surprise. Yang grew embarrassed, "No its just.. I don't wanna be alone at the moment.. could you stay a while?" She asked softly. Jasper nodded, before scooting closer to the girl. "Of course." He replied, as Yang gave him a weak smile, before she laid her head on his shoulder.

HOURS LATER

Nora paced around the kitchen nervously, as Ilia and Kiko watched her. The couple were seated together, hand in hand as Ilia enjoyed a mug of tea. "She has been pacing around for quite a while.." Kiko observed, quietly. "Yeah I don't know what that is about." Ilia confessed.

The chameleon faunus let go of her girlfriend's hand and also put the mug down before she stood up and walked over to Nora. "Hey, everything okay?" She asked. Nora stopped, and faced Ilia. "I.. I could be paranoid but.. Ren said he was going to start his tasks and meet me here in half an hour but it's been 35 minutes!" She said in a panic.

Ilia frowned, "You're definitely paranoid. He probably lost track of time, he'll be here soon." She insisted as Nora gave an unsure nod. With that, Ilia sat back down with her girlfriend.

☾

Maeve yawned lightly, as she looked over at Blake, who was still sleeping peacefully in her bed. Suddenly, the cat faunus caught the girl glancing at grinned. "Were you watching me sleep?" She asked, teasingly. Maeve blushed, before she quickly looked away, "No!" The fox faunus huffed.

Blake just giggled as Maeve got up, "Cmon, lets go get some coffee." She suggested, feeling still quiet sleepy. "Yeah.. okay." Blake agreed, liking that idea as she got out of her bed.

☾

Stella stood in front of Yang's door, before she reached out and knocked. It took a moment, but then the door opened, revealing the yellow haired girl. "Stella." The girl blurted, before she quickly stepped forward and embraced the Valentine.

"Yang." Stella put her arms around Yang. "I'm so sorry Yang.." The pinkette sighed, referring to the loss of Ruby. "I just.. I can't believe she's gone. My sister is dead." The girl cried in Stella's arms. "Y..You lost her too! Ruby was our sister" Yang corrected herself.

Stella felt her eyes pool with tears again, as memories flashed in her mind of the trio as young children.

"Yang! It's my turn on the swing!" Ruby huffed angrily as Yang poked her tongue out at her little sister, and continued to swing. "I have an idea!" Stella suggested, pacing over to Ruby and taking her hand. The silver eyed girl looked up at her sister figure. "Let's go on the see-saw!"

With that, the blonde haired Valentine and redheaded Rose girls rushed over to the see saw and took a seat at each end of it. Excitedly they began to move so the see-saw would operate. Now having fun, Ruby cheered with excitement. Stella just smiled at the girl.

"This is fun!!" Ruby called out. "I love you Stell!" She boomed. Stella blinked in surprise, only ever hearing that from her mother and father, and sometimes Seylah. Yang had said to Stella earlier that recently Ruby had learned what it means to love others, and so she was constantly telling her family that she loved them.

"I love you too Ruby!" Stella called out enthusiastically as the two girls continued to cheer and play on the see saw.

☾

In Navigation, Leon and Jaune were seated in their chairs, Weiss also in the room. Pyrrha entered suddenly, "Hello!" She chimed, her tone being cheerful. "How can you sound so happy with what's going on?" Weiss asked, as her arms fell to her side. Pyrrha shrugged, "It's better if we stay positive.. otherwise we will all be miserable." She added.

"Leon was just about to tell us some news." Jaune said as Pyrrha walked over and stood beside him. The pair glanced at eachother, exchanging smiles before they looked over at Leon. It was nice for the pair to have reconciled.. their past was interesting.

Jaune and Stella were once best friends, and the Arc boy was head over heels for Pyrrha. Stella decided to try and get them together, and basically became Jaune's wingwoman but along the way she realised that she had strong feelings for Pyrrha, herself.

For Jaune's sake, Stella tried to ignore her feelings, but the blonde soon learnt that Pyrrha actually had feelings for the Valentine. Since then things had been awkward, particularly between Jaune and Stella. The pinkette constantly apologised but Jaune claimed he didn't care anymore, yet unfortunately their friendship was still quite strained.

"So what is the news, Leon?" Pyrrha asked, excitedly. "Well.." Leon trailed off, a goofy smile on his lips. "I have decided that the time is right." He said, pulling a small box from his pocket. Pyrrha, Weiss and Jaune all gasped, realising what it was. The Trinity opened the box, revealing a silver ring, that shone brightly in the light. "Oh my god— you're going to propose to Nova!! Aah— This makes me so happy!" Weiss boomed, before she threw her arms around Leon. "Leon! That's SO exciting!!" Jaune boomed, with a grin. "I'm so happy for you guys." Pyrrha smiled.

Leon chuckled, hugging his best friend back. The Trinity family had always been close with the Schnee and Lang families. When the Lang family took in Nova, Leon had quickly formed a liking for the boy and Weiss was the first one to hear about it. Weiss had pretty much been waiting for the moment to find out the couple would be getting married, for the past seven years.

☾

Nova, Maeve and Ari walked together, deciding to go together to shields. Ari had to do the task and Maeve offered to accompany them, but with the current circumstances Ari thought it was safer to have two people with them rather than one.

"So Maeve.. I notice you and Blake are pretty close again." Nova nudged her, as the girl blushed, "Congratulations, you have eyes." She huffed as Ari snorted at the comment.

"Yeah but.. you know what I mean! It's clear that perhaps there's more feelings here than just friendship." Nova suggested. Maeve shrugged, "Maybe, but I'm grateful just to be friends with Blake again, at the moment." Maeve insisted, not hiding the truth as she did have feelings for Blake and had realised over the past couple of months, but she didn't want to lose Blake as a friend again.

"What about you and Leon? You two have been dating for like— ever! Are you guys ever going to be more than just boyfriends?" The fox faunus huffed. Nova shrugged, "I'm assuming you mean marriage? And hopefully one day." He insisted. "I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with anybody else but Leon." The panther faunus said, blushing slightly. Maeve couldn't help but smirk, finding the couple absolutely adorable.

"Marriage is a big commitment." Ari spoke up as Maeve and Nova frowned, "What?" They both asked in unison. "I got married once." Ari said, "Being married— It was amazing.. the best feeling in the world, but my love.. he was killed." They sighed. "Oh.. I'm sorry." Nova replied, unsure of how else to reply. He couldn't imagine living in a world without Leon, he didn't know how Ari was managing so well. "To truly love another person is to accept the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them. You need to decide if it is worth it, well before marriage."

"Well.. we're here." Maeve said, as they approached sheilds, and Ari skipped over to do their task.

☾

"Everything is moving so fast!!" Elena boomed childishly as she spun around in the office chair in security. The chair slowed and she was faced with Miles, who had been the one spinning her. "Faster! Faster!" Elena ordered, like a child. Miles just snorted before he spun the chair again, this time much faster.

Blake was looking on the cameras for anything suspicious, and glanced at Miles and Elena. "Please don't make her vomit." The cat faunus sighed. Miles shrugged, "It would be funny." He admitted.

Blake looked on the cameras, noticing as Kiko and Ilia walking hand in hand, heading into the reactor, assumably to do tasks. She looked on another screen to find Nora walking in the hallway past navigations and O2.

☾

Meanwhile in lower engine, Enzo was whistling as he refueled the engine. Adam was on lookout, making sure nobody suspicious was walking by.

"Hey.. do you have any ideas on who could be the suspicious one amongst us?" Enzo asked curiously, concentrating on his task. Adam shook his head, "Honestly no.. I mean, we all spent two years together training at the academy to become astronauts.. As a group we have bonded pretty well.. I can't imagine someone being capable of murder." Adam sighed, noticing Davina approaching them.

"You're gutsy walking around without a trusted friend." Adam said to her as she simply shrugged, "Other than Issy, I trust nobody." She spoke coldly, "I know we are friends, but considering the current circumstances I feel like I can't even trust you." Davina said, giving Adam a look. Adam frowned, visibly a little hurt by this. Davina turned a corner and walked away, leaving lower engine.

☾

Meanwhile in Weapons, Abra and Alec were concentrating on their tasks. Alec sat in the chair, shooting the asteroids. "Take that! And that!! Woohoo i'm winning!" He boomed, treating it as a game.

Abra laughed lightly, as Alec looked over at her, "She speaks." He said, then realising that wasn't quite correct as she laughed, and didn't actually say a word. Abra gave him a confused look, "I didn't realise that laughing counted as speaking." She insisted. Alec sweatdropped, hoping she wouldn't pick up on his mistake.

Abra sighed, "I have to go into electrical next.. I hate that room. It's so dark." She admitted. Alec frowned, "Me too.. plus that's where..." He trailed off, thinking of Ruby, how she was found dead inside electrical. "That room is dangerous." The Lightbourne declared.

☾

"I have an idea." Stella said, as she walked through the cafeteria, her arm linked with Yang's. "I'm listening." Yang answered, as they passed Jenni and Jasper who were seated at two separate tables. Jenni was reading a book, while Jasper was eating a sandwich he had made.

The best friends entered the kitchen, "I was thinking of making some of Ruby's favourite foods. We can all eat them together." Stella suggested with a smile. Yang smiled back, "That would be really nice." She admitted.

☾

Maeve entered electrical, with Adam not far behind her. Behind the pair were Nova, Enzo and Ari. Maeve felt uneasy with Adam's presence, but tried to push the feelings away as she knew the others would be in electrical with them.

Or so she thought.

Suddenly the doors slammed closed, causing Maeve and Adam's eyes to widen in surprise. "What the fuck??" Maeve blurted, before she raced over to the door. "Enzo?! Nova?" She called out, not hearing them through the door. "Lopez!! Are you out there?" Adam called out, also not getting an answer.

The fox faunus stood back, her breathing beginning to quicken, as she had been closed in a room with the person she trusted the absolute least.

Then it got worse; The lights suddenly turned off.

Maeve began to tremble, "I am going to die— I am going TO DIE." She thought, completely panicked.
