[Dealing with people face to face is hard, even if Pidge were to do it via communicator. She doesn’t know anyone here, and she’s hesitant to even be addressing the entirety of the Moira’s crew all at once like this. So she opts for the easier mode of communication: text. It’s like talking to the internet that way, and… Well, to be perfectly frank, that’s easier for her to handle.]
Hello, Moira crew. [Behind the screen she winces. Even she can tell that sounds awkward. But she presses on.] I’m new to this ship, but not new to space travel - trust me - but I am trying to gather some more information than what was given to me. Hoping someone onboard can help me out.
First: If the word “Voltron” means anything to you, contact me.
Second: If you know anyone with the last name “Holt”, contact me ASAP.
[There’s another hesitant moment before the typing resumes.] I can help out with any tech stuff in exchange for any useful information you’ve got. I’m good at it, and I’ve worked with alien tech before. The stuff here is new to me, but they gave me a job that works with it pretty closely, so I’m pretty sure I can figure it out soon enough. So: you help me, I help you. Fair, right?
Right. Cool. Let me know.

[Which leaves--]
Pidge?
[Please space lion Jesus let him be right.]
voice;
Shiro!! Oh man, am I glad you're here, too.
voice;
Me and Allura so far. Are you all right?
[And then, because he can't stop himself--] Where are you?
voice;
I'm in the room they gave me. Nomo 2?
voice;
I'll come find you.
[Since he's assuming her typing means she'd rather keep a low profile or something, for now.]

VOICE
But the next section gives her a pretty good hint about who it is she's talking to.]
Is that you, Pidge?
VOICE BACK
Allura?! How-- Did the wormhole bring you here, too??
no subject
That seems to be the case. Although I'm not sure how a wormhole would throw us through the Ingress, or what happened to the Castle or the Lions.
But with you here, that makes two paladins accounted for. And considering the state of the wormhole, we might have fared better than expected.
no subject
So you've seen Shiro already?
no subject
[... ... ... knock on space wood.]
Yes, we've spoken already. But I should warn you, he seems to have lost a few memories before coming here. He remembers my capture, but not how I was rescued.

I don't suppose you can elaborate on what you mean by 'alien tech?'
text;
[Sorry, Pidge is stopping right there. Because. Because wow. This has just kind of blown Pidge away.]
video;
[It's hard to read her reaction over text.]
How'd you come by 'alien' tech, exactly? Besides being dumped here, I mean.
text;
That's probably for the best]kind of a long story
you're a robot
video;
[He lets it go, though, watching the MID screen carefully.]
And, well. Yes and no. I'm inorganic, but we're our own race--there's nobody in here but me, and nobody built me. [This is clearly not the first time he's had this conversation.] There are a few of us here, we're called Cybertronians, and my name is Ratchet.
