{ You woke to red lights, the ship’s AI sabotaged, your teammates gone, the ship covered and controlled by worms that seemed to share a brain and a new recruit: Atom. Whist you were conversing with SAI he had suggested taking a walk ; rather childish, but no surprise due to their behaviour. They guided you to the back, holding your wrist in an extremely tight grip, spilling it all; to cut it short they were the small worm that the crew had found eating the dog food. Everyone on the ship had suggested killing it in gruesome ways as you snuck in and shot it back into space resulting in the worm; or Atom the parasite to hold feelings for you calling you their “Luna Nova” in the insanity of it all you had hit them with your wrench, a crack in their helmet as they fell with a muffled cry, worms crawling out and flopping wetly onto the floor and oh boy, that did it for you. You had abandoned Atom’s form for the pods, the floor moved by the worms to trip you but you made it, bucking yourself in but before you could launch Atom had slammed themselves at the pod, clawing at it before they calmed down…chittering and tapped at the glass }

“I will wait.”

{ Wait..?…crap. The countdown on the vessel had completely stopped, you couldn’t do anything Worms from Atom’s helmet crawled through the thin spaces in the vessel, crawling up your legs and arms, wriggling in your lap and squeezing through the space between your collar and helmet as they brushed against your cheek, letting out a stifled yelp you unbuckled yourself, diving out }

“I got impatient Luna!”

{ Atom took your hand, the rest of the worms sticking to you affectionately }

“You’re my angel Luna Nova…”

{ Atom would pull off your glove and pressed it to the glass of their helmet. The worms inside retreated respecting your boundaries, a single one crawled out and caressed your thumb, Atom would nuzzle into your hand, chittering happily, careful not to cut your hand on the glass }
