In Space With Markiplier, Part III: Fixer-Upper

👾Invader Onboard👾

"Warning! Invader Onboard! Warning! Invader Onboard!"

"Invader?" I asked Mark.

Both of us turned towards the Warp core one last time.

"Okay Captain, we can deal with your issue later." He said. "But we have to figure out what this 'Invader' warning is about."

We took off running back down the hall.
The crew would take this as a chance to go on lockdown, where they would hide in a certain room. Mark and I ran towards the bridge, Mark was about to command the computers to go on full lockdown, which would shut down most of the ships power and lock all the rooms.

Once we got to the bridge, Mark activated the computer before we heard. "Wait!" From down the hall.
A female colonist ran towards the bridge waving her arms in the air. She probably didn't have a room to hide in.
"Come in! Quick!" I called out.

The girl dived into the bridge before Mark quickly reactivated the computer.

"Computer, go into lockdown!"
I helped the girl up on her feet, she was also out of breath and afraid.

"Going on lockdown"

The door slammed shut behind us.
"Thank you so much." The girl said.

"What is going on out there?!" I asked her.

She shook her head. "I don't know! But someone got on board and disguised themselves as one of the colonists!"

"Are they friendly?" Mark asked.

"I don't think so!" She replied.

Mark and I locked eyes for a moment. "An alien life form from the planet must've gotten on the ship while we were on it. But how?" I asked.

After a moment of silence, Mark responded.
"They might've snuck onto the shuttle when we were bringing you back onboard."

"But who are they?"

Mark turned to the computer.

"Computer!" He said.

"What is it, Head Engineer?"

"Pull up security footage of the ship."

The computer screens quickly switched to the cameras in the different rooms. The hallways were empty but most of the rooms were dark with people hidden inside. Mark reversed the footage at the time before the alarm went off.

We quickly saw footage of Mark and I talking next to the Warp Core, then suddenly the alarm went off, which sent us running.
Shortly after that, a person who we didn't recognize began running after us, down the warp core hallway.

Mark quickly switched cameras, to see that the person had completely disappeared.
"Go back." I told Mark.
Mark switched back to the camera in the warp core and reversed it.
"Stop!"

Mark paused the footage on a view of the mysterious person while they were running towards us. Camera couldn't show the person's face but I recognized the outfit somehow. It definitely didn't belong to any of the colonists.

"Is that..." I whispered.

Mark continued the footage but didn't switch cameras to see the creature change forms. The next creature showed it chasing us. Mark and I locked eyes for a moment. The only person we knew following us was the women in the room right now. We turned towards her with a face of suspicion.

She looked confused and afraid but quickly dropped it. She scoffed a bit before she hit a button on her arm.
Her outfit suddenly began forming into a different suit, her hair changed colors and and cyberpunk style eye piece appeared on her eye. She shape shifted right before our very eyes.
