Shiftshaper
Day 1 of infiltrating the crew.
One of them got too far from the group. Paralysed him and took his form.
Returned to the ship. Everyone keeps asking me where my pants are.
Day 2 of infiltrating the crew.
We have taken off. I have explained that one of the 'native lichens' made me allergic to pants. The rest of the crew seems to accept this.
Day 3 of infiltrating the crew.
I have been helping out around the ship while learning its secrets. And also trying to figure out where my quarters are supposed to be. Got it right fourth time. Managed to talk my way out of three awkward encounters.
Fourth one, not so much. I think I'm dating Crewman Eloise now.
Day 4 of infiltrating the crew.
Brought Eloise some breakfast and used my cunning skills to pump her for information.
So successful that I contrived to bring everyone else breakfast. I am a genius.
Day 5 of infiltrating the crew.
The captain keeps asking for Crewman Vitsie. They are obviously incompetent and lazy and have not responded. Captain sounds very irate. Perhaps I should find Vitsie and eat him to improve crew morale.
Day 6 of infiltrating the crew.
... I'm Crewman Vitsie. Got yelled at by the captain. Grovelled handsomely and explained that I am incompetent and lazy. I think I got away with it.
Day 7 of infiltrating the crew.
Space pirates. Why is it always space pirates?
Replicated one of them, infiltrated the ship, ate their captain. Very greasy.
Swapped back to my Vitsie disguise and pretended I snuck on board and shot the captain.
Luckily nobody asked about why I now weigh 50% more
Day 8 of infiltrating the crew.
Captain mentioned he knew I was a shiftshaper. Now hiding in an airduct. I'm not crying. That's... just... OK I might be crying. Eloise was going to put on a movie and I was really looking forward to it.
Day 9 of infiltrating the crew.
Captain has been yelling into an airvent for the last hour. They say they figured it out immediately.
Turns out Vitsie was an asshole, and they just liked me better.
NGL, feeling kind of proud.
Captain says since I saved the ship from greasy space pirates, they'll call it even if I promise not to eat any more crew.
Asked if that includes Robins from Engineering. Captains says Robins included because he's the only one who knows how to fix the toilets.
This is reasonable.
Day 10 of infiltrating the crew.
Watched "The Thing" with Eloise. Didn't sleep all night. That was terrifying!
