[ The video clicks on to show Pidge wandering through Heropa. She's meandering through the crowds and down random streets, and would look like any other teen if not for the green lioness at her side. ]

So... this is all strange. One moment I'm being threatened by a giant warship, the next I'm in a weird underground bunker and have a glowy tattoo on my arm and sudden super powers? Which is cool, don't get me wrong, but I sorta already have a universe to save. The Galra threat isn't just going to go away because I was kidnapped.

[Pidge pauses while she maneuvers around a crowd. ]

Wait, is that why I'm here? Am I supposed to save this world... universe... whatever? The soldier guard dude who gave me all my stuff didn't really explain much. Just kinda dropped me off in an apartment and left.[ Rude. ]

I'm Pidge by the way. [ She directs a grin towards her communicator. ] And I'd really appreciate more information.

Pidge?! [HELLO SMALL FRIEND! Say hello to the grinning face of the most favorite of your fellow Paladins. He's rather excited to see you.]

Man is it good to see you. At this rate...we might get the whole castle here...

Lance!!

Oh quiznak am I glad to see you. [ And she's off on a mini ramble before his words can really sink in. Haven't you missed her Lance? ]

Are the others here? Are they okay? The last thing I remember before waking up in that bunker was Zarkon showing up after we rescued the Olkari.

[ And then her brain catches up with what he said. ]

'Whole castle'? So we're not the only ones here?

Wait, I need to save this for posterity. One Pidge is actually glad to see me. [Please don't ruin this Pidge, he actually looks really happy to be wanted.]

Woah, woah. Slow it down. For one thing...I uh think I'm a bit ahead of you. Zarkon definitely kept showing up--could sleep for like three quintents. Found out Altean pools are on the ceiling; the ship has one...Keith and Allura ran off thinking Zarkon was tracking us through them. Don't ask me why Keith thinks that--because I have no idea what goes through that jerk's head.

Oh! And we went to a space mall, got a video system that came with a free cow and--[A horrified gasp] Kaltenecker is back on the ship without us. Poor cow.

[A pause and then...]

Oh right...yeah Hunk is here too.

[ Don't make her regret being excited to see you Lance. She'll hit you with her bayard again. Don't think she won't. ]

Oh quiznak, that's good to know. I woke up here and expected the worst.

[ She listens intently to what Lance is saying, ~~(After all, for once it's actually relevant)~~, and can't help interjecting. ]

Why would Keith think Zarkon is tracking him? Allura I understand, she's the last Altean and it wouldn't surprise me if Zarkon could track her quintessence, but Keith? Shiro would make more since then Keith. After all, Zarkon was the Black Paladin, there's probably still some form of a bond between him and Black. [ Which is actually really disconcerting to think about... Bad Pidge.

And then the cow comment registers. ]

We got a cow for buying a video game system? At a space mall? Are you sure you didn't dream this? [ Pidge's ability to process the weird shit life throws at them may be a little compromised at the moment. ]

Look I don't pretend to know how Keith thinks at all. I guess Zarkon could like...imprinted on him during their fight or something? I don't know. Whatever, Shiro seems to have the problem down so we should be fine when we get back.

[And here is where his grin gets sly, because oh Pidge you have no idea what an adventure that was.] Dude, I didn't dream anything. We had to get some of those mirror things for the Teladov--the lenses! Coran had I "disguised" as space pirates...and yeah we ditched those get-ups in a hot minute.

And our cow's name is Kaltenecker.

That makes no sense. If Zarkon could imprint due to proximity, more than likely he'd be tracking Allura. They knew each other before the whole 'take over the galaxy' thing, right? But... if Shiro says we're fine, I'll believe him.

[ ... ]

Space pirates? Kaltenecker? [ Can you hear the disbelief in her voice? ] Are you sure you didn't dream this? This sounds weird even for us. Next you're gonna say that Hunk got trapped in a cooking drama or something.

Exactly! Like what in the world makes him think, out of all of us, he'd be the one tracked? Whatever...point is that he wasn't the cause so...[He shrugs.]

Okay, dude, Pidge...this you have to believe me on. It happened. And uh...I wouldn't call it a cooking drama, but Hunk did get caught up in having to work off a debt in the food court? He thought the samples were free, and they weren't.

[ What? Seriously? You have to be making this up.

Although... ]

That... does sound like Hunk.

Did we at least get those lenses? Or did Coran wander off and get distracted?

[Pure, grade A truth my friend.]

I know right? More exciting than our fishing in the fountain for change...

And yeah, we got 'em...and then got chased out by a mall cop.

[ Fishing in a fountain? For change? What had you gotten her into Lance?? ]

A mall cop? Okay, now you have to be messing with me.

[ Pause ]

Or did Coran do something stupid?

It wasn't just Coran. I mean we stole change from a fountain to buy a Mercury Gameflux II...Hunk uh, you know Hunk just really ended up helping a guy out with his business. I have no idea what Keith did, but he definitely did something...And Coran cheated a guy out of Teladov lenses. Oh...and we flew Kaltenecker off the second floor to the first so...

Yeah, we might have deserved getting run down by a mall cop.

[ Wait. Hold the phone. ]

Did you say a Mercury Gameflux II? Did it have any games with it? [ She may be a bit excited at the idea. ]

Why am I not surprised that caught your attention? It was the original edition with the power glove too.

[He pauses for effect.]

Oh and we got Killbot Phantasm I with it.

The one that gave you infinite lives? And Killbot Phantasm???? [ She's bouncing around she's so excited. ] Tell me you somehow managed to bring it with you. I swear, I'll take back every rude thing I've ever said to you. And I'll apologize for electrocuting you that one time.

I...haven't checked if it was in my stuff yet. I'm really hoping they didn't shove it in Blue because, dude, that thing is going to be tiiiiny.

Give me a tic.

[Lance is off screen, but you can here some noises--mostly banging sounds and muffled curses...and the occasional "What the quiznak?!"

Eventually he slinks back on screen.]

Uh...Pidge?

This place is a major buzz-kill. Sorry buddy, no luck on the game.

[Please don't kill him]

[ For why universe. For why? ]

I knew it was too good to be true. And even if you had brought it, the chances of it being compatible with the tech here are pretty slim.

[ Pause ]

We'll just have to find something similar here.

Actually... that reminds me. Are you in Heropa too?

I will adventure into a fountain for change to buy something similar. [Seriously, Pidge, he feels kind of bad here.]

But uh...that will have to wait for me to visit. I'm up in De Chima. At least you have Hunk?

That's the one in Virginia, right? I think I remember reading about it.

[ Dammit Lance, you always end up separated from the rest. ]

And yeah, Hunk's here; but I'm not living with him. And I haven't met the people I am living with yet. Hopefully they're nice.

Yeah, it the one in Virgina. Not as fun as Florida right?

...Dude, you'll be fine--besides at least you can visit Hunk pretty easily right?
