voice;

I need to get in contact with my team. [He says this as if there is no argument. No room for debate or bargaining. This is the same kind of way someone says the sky is blue, or humans need oxygen. The edge of desperation in the words probably says it easily enough.] If there is anyone here who knows a lot about long-distance communication, please. I need your help.

They’re out there somewhere, and I need to get in contact with them.

[They need to know what happened on the ship. They need to know where he is, where Allura is, especially -- he can’t just miraculously be somewhere else and abandon them.]

My name is Shiro. I have information I need to get to them as soon as possible.

I’ll do whatever I can in exchange. But this is important. Even if you can just get me coordinates on a certain signal -- anything.

[He’ll end it there. Because what else can you say?]

((ooc: If you want to have a TDM thread be game canon, just let me know!))

[And one he's going to recognize, for certain.]

I may be able to help you in getting in contact with one, at the least.

[Of course he recognizes it. Immediately. And it's like a blow to the chest. He can't breathe for a second. It can't be -- can it? She--]

Allura?

[-- how could she be here. He'd just seen her being taken. Just let it happen, too, his brain adds, while the rest of him tries grasping for more reasonable, more intelligent things to say.]

Are you -- are you all right?

[Well that's better than nothing.]

Hey now, relax. I'm sure your team's fine.

Is there some kind of emergency?

They're not.

[He says it with certainty again. Because they have no idea what's just happened. And if he's here, they might never know. Without him, they can't form Voltron.]

Yes, it is. One of us was... abducted. And they need to know her last location if I can't get back.

Alright, fine. That definitely sounds like an emergency.

But automatically assuming your team doesn't do anyone any favors. Look at it this way: If you're here, doesn't it stand to reason they could be too?

How about you give me some names. Maybe some descriptions? I'm new here, but I've been jotting down and sketching anything new and interesting I come across in a notebook.

[Good, because it is one.]

I didn't see anyone when I arrived. And we weren't together when I was brought here.

[He was alone -- staring back at Allura as she --]

Armor like this -- [He switches to video long enough for a shot of his chestplate. The white, the black V-shaped design. Then back to voice.] Only green, blue, yellow or red. That would be the quickest way to notice any of them.

Armor. Got it. How about names? Shouting 'hey you there in the colored armor' seems kind of rude, you know?

...Hope you don't mind if I make a quick sketch, by the way.

[That's the sound of Darin whipping out his notebook and getting to work.]

[... okay, it might work for some of them, to be honest. But still.]

Pidge, Hunk, Lance and Keith.

[Names familiar as breathing, these days.]

... uh, no, no that's fine.

Got it.

You said your name was Shiro, right? Name's Darin Altway, Master Blacksmith. I'll keep my eyes peeled for them and let you know if I run into any of them. Until then, try and keep positive. They're your team right?

Judging by your armor, you guys are all part of a unit. I'm sure they're all fine. I mean, unless they're a pack of lunatics or rookies.

[Darin thinks armor and team is the equivalent to squadron of knights from his world. Don't mind him.]

Hey, man. I, uh.

[a pause. lúcio is clearly unsure of how to go about this...]

You wanna meet in person again? Remember where the hub is?

Oh, dear. I'm sorry to say you'd be better off expecting the worst, darling. People like you who come through with these messages... they don't leave happy.

[like she knows, aurelia is just annoyed so many people are appearing and decided to fuck with this poor dad.]

[TDM magic powers go!]

[And Pharah opts for a voice feed because she's currently a most striking shade of blue, which hadn't been very well received in the colony.]

How are you settling in, Shiro? [Which was something of a loaded question; you never really settled here; Pharah knew that desire to be home never really left.]

I'm no worse for wear. However, if I hadn't heard your message, I would be making one in the same vein.

[There's a soft scuffling sound, as if she's looking over the device as she talks.]

In addition to being separated from the other paladins and Coran, we've also lost contact with the Castle-ship...

So, unless that information is that you were brought here with the Black Lion in tow, we have a problem.

But you -- No, that wasn't what I was going to say.

[Because no, the Black is nowhere to be found. But it hadn't been with him when he'd been taken, had it? Does that have something to do with it?]

Allura, I saw them take you. How did you get away?

[Shiro use your words. Explain yourself. And, in any other situation, he would. But he'd literally just been thrown across a room and watched her give herself up for him.]

[He's a bit rattled.]

Was it this ship's "ingress"?

[You're a good soul, Lucio.]

I do. But, why does this sound like it's going to be bad news?

Darin, got it.

[He nods, even though this is just voice and no one can actually see it, whoops.] You'll either know them by the armor or the... yelling. Probably.

[At least one of them is bound to be yelling. Which brings him to the next statement:]

...

They're teenagers.

I'm sorry?

What exactly are you saying?

I'm trying not to.

[Best to be honest.] I don't want to make any long-term plans here.

........Oh.

[You can literally hear the wince, Shiro.]

So, uh...your army takes them at a really young age, I guess? No big deal, right? I'm sure they've been trained...!

[It certainly does, because they are from two slightly different points in time.]

... I'm sorry, Shiro, but did you hit your head while we were going through that last wormhole? Suffice it to say that the paladins' rescue plan was... very poorly planned, but...

[A little more fussing, and -- aha! There's the video function. She smiles.]

... mostly a success.

[It really is her. If there were any doubts left, they're gone now. And he's staring. Very much staring.]

Res-- what rescue? They didn't even know you were taken.

[That he'd let her be taken.]

I don't know what wormholes have to do with it.

... We're not army.

[Not technically anyway.]

We're uh. Still training. Most days.

Oh. Special forces? Elite Knights??

[Just gonna...not address that latter half.]

Does the name "Voltron" mean anything to you? Out of curiosity?

Nnnnnnope. No.

Not even a little bit.

What is it?
