[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.

[He's kidding, of course.]
... Yeah, he did. You met him?
action
Yeah, I bumped into him when I tried to check out the Ingress room.
action
[You tried, Shiro.]
Lucky you. That's a lot better than how I met him.
action
Really? How'd you meet him?
action
[And now he looks even more sheepish.]
I... may have threatened him. A little. I didn't know where I was or who he was.
action
...Okay, but that sounds pretty fair. I mean, ending up here out of the blue is really not cool.
action
He seems like the kind of guy to not hold a grudge.
action
action
[Because he knows you Pidge.]
action
And learn about that light tech of his.
action
[As he grins in return. He isn't even remotely surprised -- it's nice, though. To have a constant.]
action
You saw it, right? I can think of at least seven different modifications for the lions using tech like that.
action
[No, he's not.] I saw his skates. I don't think anything else came up.
action
It's some pretty great stuff. Replicating it shouldn't be too hard if I can just get a hold of some workable material. It'll be worth learning about.
action
[As he reaches over to fluff her hair once.]
It looks like there's a lot of supplies here. Finding material shouldn't be hard.
action
Seems that way. I've got some equipment to rebuild before I do anything major, though.
action
Which you'll probably have done in, what? A few days?
action
Depends on what I find for materials, but... probably.
action
I knew it.
You never disappoint.
action
[That earns him a bright grin before she stands up.]
So please tell me you remember the way to where the ice cream is.
action
[But yes, yes he does.]
