You start to panic as you are accused of a murder you didn't commit. You try to defend yourself, but everyone has already voted you off. You curse them out as they push you into the airlock, pulling switch and letting you float off into space. You feel yourself suffocate as your air tank breaks, letting out oxygen. In the blink of an eye, you are back on the ship. You are confused, looking around. Nobody seemed to notice you, everyone running off in different directions.  You look down to see. . . nothing. Your legs are gone. You start to panic, frantically trying to get the attention of someone else, but nobody seems to pay attention to your panicked cries. You stare down at your hands, seeing the floor right through them. Now it starts to kick in that you are dead, and now a ghost. "Why am I a ghost?" you ask yourself. It now kicks in, you didn't finish all of your tasks. You sigh slightly, following a random person, instead of helping your teammates by doing your tasks. "Why should I help these assholes? They killed me! For no reason!" you say aloud to yourself, watching another crewmate do tasks. You notice that your taskbar is almost full, only one bar left before it was full. You have two tasks left to do, electrical divert and unlock manifolds. You still follow the crewmate, following him into a darkened room, as the lights go out. You can see perfectly, while the crewmate panickes and tries to run to electrical to fix the lights. As you are floating behind him, you turn and see someone running right towards the crewmate. You yell out as loud as you can, trying to warn him about the incoming danger, but he cannot hear you. You watch as he is murdered, your eyes widening, seeing the dead remains of this innocent crewmate. You try and report the body, only for it to not report at all. In the distance, you see the same crewmate as a ghost, just like you. You approach them, before glancing to the taskbar. You had the last tasks, and if you didn't do them, you would let the imposter win. Despite the amount of hatred you have right now, you know it's what you must do. You fly through walls, flipping the switch to security, flying to security and accepting the power divert. You quickly fly to reactor, unlocking the manifolds. After a second, everything goes black, before you are back on the ship, alive, and with everyone else. You had won, and you feel relieved that you are alive again.
