1Bit

just ignore the current situation between solar and amber. They are seperated from the rest of the group on their own mission while the rest of the crew are currently preparing to use the portal to find a way to get more air for the ship so no-one dies from suffocation

"Solarrrrr....." Amber practically purred on the 'r' in her name. "You gotta come try this thing, its so great." She tried to move over to Solar, only moving a millimetre or so, before another wave of relaxing waves seemed to spread across her back. "Come on Solar...com- come get in the suit with me. Come on, get over here...."

Amber took the brief moment they had in Engineering to test out the suit fully, since last time she'd been too busy fan-girling over it at all in the first place. There was a variety of options all over the screens in front of her, filling her with both wonder and curiosity. She furiously began clicking buttons, with all sorts of crazy stuff going across the screen and all sorts of crazy stuff happening to her body. Including a massage. A goddamn, wonderful massage. "Ohhhh wow..." Amber seemed to slowly crumple to her knees as the massage took over her. "Oh my god this is amazing. Wowwww....." She fell to the floor, metal clanging against metal. "This suit is so good!"

"Whoa whoa! How are you in my head?!" Amber looked from left to right, searching for Scarlett but couldn't see her anywhere. "Well, um, that's weird...well, uh, nice view?" She paused a moment, but then realised what Scarlett was referencing. "Oh yeah! It sure is a nice view!" Amber smiled inside her helmet. Not the nicest view here though, Her gaze slowly fell on Solar before she shook her head. "Uh, anyway, we were planning on scouting out the ship Scarlett. Work out where the noise is coming from."

Amber enjoyed the familiar feel of the metallic suit as Solar carefully removed it from her own body, and hooved it over to her. She took a moment just staring at it with pure delight before she rushed to put it on as quickly as she could. Small devices in the suit whirred and pinged as the joints and bolts clicked into place around her legs, body and neck. Her smile couldn't get any wider as it completed all of its processes.

"R-really?" Amber felt the excitement grow within her, washing away all her feelings of sadness completely. "Ohmigosh, yes! I would love to wear it! U-um, if thats okay, of course, heh." She looked sheepishly around the room. Deep down, she knew she only liked the suit because Solar had been wearing it.

Amber leaped into the hug possibly a little too fast, forcing Solar to fall on her back with Amber furiously hugging her on top. Tears formed again in her eyes, and a smile swept across her sad face. "I'm so glad you ended up here with us, coincidental or not." Amber said quietly. "I think I might have already gone insane otherwise."

"R-really?" Amber sniffled, rubbing her enflamed eyes to try and wipe the tears away. "But what about the others? Won't they get s-suspicious if we just disappear together? I m-mean...not like that..." She blushed furiously, backing up against the wall as nerves got the better of her. "I-I just-" "Y-you know what? Yeah, let's go scout it out. Make ourselves useful for a change." She gave Solar a weak smile.

"Wuh- huh?" Amber snapped back to reality as she heard hoofsteps approaching her location. It didn't take much to recognise the pony as none other than Solar, staring at her from the doorway. "S-solar, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with the others?" She fought to hold back more tears, stuttering on every word. "I-I...can't go back. I just can't take all of this anymore..."

could just be some form of decay or whatevs. idk. come on guys, we're so close to the planet now! Keep posting!

"Why is it so hard for everypony to just get along, not fight and get things done around here? I mean, sure, all of this is a little bit weird and a little bit sudden but we should be over that by now!" Amber cried to herself, in a soliloquy of frustration and sadness. She sat with her head facing a nearby bulkhead. She found her eyes having little to do besides inspecting the intricacies of the metal and all of it's compartments, hoping to qualm her annoyances slightly. Not that it helped. Her internal rage and depression kept swirling like a hurricane in her head. "Solar and Scarlett seems to be the only ponies with even a slightly calm attitude half the time...I mean, things don't seem TOO bad but something's definitely off."

Been a while since I posted here ^w^ sup y'all was making a Film Noir earlier, this be most of my costume

"Ugh, I can't take this anymore." Amber wasn't sure why, but she was just done. The arguing, the shouting, the chaos. She was just done. She threw her hooves up into the air in frustration and turned her back on the ponies. "Maybe when y'all have kissed and made up, maybe then you can come and find me again, because right now I am DONE listening to ALL of you!"

"Yeah, um, gals...we can continue all this later when we AREN'T slowly dying if we really must, but I'm already bored of this ship so a chance at doing something else sounds good to me." Amber quietly stepped in, scared that she wasn't really in her place. "I mean, that's not an unreasonable idea, right?"

probz

it was out in the corridor m8...we were being discrete XD

Soz boz, we was havin a heartfelt conversation n shiz

"Hey hey, its okay! its okay!" She offered a sincere smile to Solar. "If I knew you were so on edge, I wouldn't have opened my stupid big mouth like I did. I'm the one who should be sorry." Her eyes fell to the floor and she twirled her hoof around awkwardly. "But things will turn out okay, yeah? No reason to be on edge with all of us here! We got your back."

soz boz. speed is kind of what happens sometimes XD dont worry, I wont post the image not yet anyway

"Wait wait wait wait wait no no no no NO!" Amber's breath quickened. "Solar I was joking!" She took off at full speed, using her wings for the first time since the beginning of all this and flew through the doorway after Solar. "I didn't mean it! It was just a joke!"

"Oi lads, no need to swear on ya mum. All that'll get ya is an absolute mashing." Amber cleared her throat, putting herself between the two. "Now Solar, how 'bout you bugger off back there and let Scarlett do the science, innit?" She slowly pushed Solar across the room, although the intense gaze of the two ponies never left each other. "Or I'll bash you one instead of her, yeah?" "Wait, it actually works? Awesome!" Amber yelled out happily. "Well, uh, Scarlett, what's the down low on the planet then? Hostile? Friendly? Gas? Ooh ooh! Are we going to have to fight a GIANT space worm?!"

"Aw come on Solar! You gotta share!" Amber sneaked over and grabbed the remote, making the fascinating flying machine do pirouettes and dances around Scarlett and then around Solar. "This guy is so cool! Can we keep him? Please can we keep him, Scarlett?" She crawled up to Scarlett with her hooves in a prayer, looking up with puppy eyes.

DUN DUN DUN. THE PLOT THICKENS.
