[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.

voice;
Great. [That's the most audible eyeroll in the world.] One more thing to really help us trust them.
voice --> action
[And he's not surprised to hear that's her opinion. But then he's at the door of the room, and knocking.]
Pidge? It's me.
action
[Because come on. The man's a muscley beast. Surely some other department needs that more than the kitchen.
Her response when she hears him at the door is an automatic-] Come in, it's open.
[There's pretty much nothing in the room at the moment beyond the basics. But she does have her paladin armor piled up at the end of the bed while she wears her usual top over the thermals that were issued. Shiro will probably notice that she's barefoot while she sits on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the MID.]
action
[There are lots of things to notice. Lots of things he probably does realize and take in, but the most important thing is his teammate. A teammate who is, upon him stepping into the room, getting an almost crushing hug.]
I'm sure we'll figure something out.
[You precious smartass child.]
action
I'm so glad you're here. [She even chuckles a little without letting go of her friend.] Even if you do end up burning the place down.
action
[Someone familiar. Someone he doesn't have to explain anything to. A familiar face -- who already knows how messed up everything is. Sure, he knew she was here, from talking to her, but it's another thing entirely to actually hug her like this.]
[In armor that is undamaged. Minus the boots, but undamaged.]
I won't burn the whole ship down. Not before you fix their wormhole problem.
action
Or I'll fix it right before you burn the ship down. [Her grin grows just a little, pitching it into the teasing side.] It could happen.
action
Either way, you end up saving the day. How's that feel?
action
Then again, we're already defenders of the universe, right?
action
[He says it with complete and total fondness, too. Like he's proud of her for breaking and entering.]
action
Still, Pidge rolls her eyes and waves it off like it was nothing.]
Only when motivated.
So you're okay, right? What happened with the wormhole going nuts didn't mess you up too much, did it?
action
[Wave it off all you want, kiddo. He knows better.]
... Wormhole? What wormhole?
action
The one we used to get away from Zarkon, remember? Or that we tried to use, before it turned all red and crazy.
action
[Is there a chair? Can he sit down?]
We weren't anywhere near him. [Were they?]
action
And there's Pidge starting to look concerned.]
We went in to save Allura... You don't remember that?
action
The last thing I remember is... Allura threw me off the ship. Before it took off.
action
And then... next thing you knew you were here? [Pidge frowns a little.] You don't remember anything else? Not even hazily?
action
Yeah. Next thing I knew... I was here. And looking for all of you. [He shakes his head to the next part. There's nothing there.]
action
Well, we went right at Zarkon's warship to save her. It was crazy and it was tough on all of us, but we managed to get her back. [She won't mention that Zarkon somehow blasted Voltron apart and that Keith tried to take Zarkon down by himself.] And when we tried to make a wormhole jump away from them, something... happened to it. We don't know what, but then next thing I knew, I was here.
action
[It was still his fault.]
I think I'd remember going through something like that... [Yeah he's gonna stay sitting on the edge of her bed.] And I wasn't anywhere near a wormhole when they brought me here.
action
Pidge sits down next to him, brow furrowed in thought.]
We all got pulled out of it somehow, so that's still fair game... Maybe whatever happened to it also wiped your memory.
action
But not yours? Or Allura's?
action
[Oh, good. Now that she's said that, she's gonna be worrying about it.]
action
[Or at least getting her checked out because god dammit he will dad her until she drops.]
action
"We" as in all of us, right? [She swears she's gonna find something that'll put this man to sleep.]
