THIS IS VOLTRON

[lionson]

[Shiro has no clue what is going on. He was given no explanation beyond 'go do your job' before he was shoved through a door, as usual. Mephisto is really, really terrible about the whole 'giving enough information to actually work' thing. Shiro hates having to come up with stuff on the fly because his boss can't be assed to give some basic intel.

But this time? This is too much, even for him. There's purple people everywhere and they're shouting at him in a language he sure as hell doesn't understand, and somehow he got them to start shooting at him. Which means running time and trying to get the hell out of whatever building he's in.

Or ship, apparently. Because of-fucking-course he ended up in outer space. The 'king of time' can control space too, it seems.

But it's pointless to whine about it. Shiro knows that his only value to Mephisto is in amusement, and that if he doesn't keep himself alive then Mephisto sure as hell isn't going to save his sorry ass. So he just runs through the ship, looking for some way off. Surely there is an escape pod or something? Those always exist in science fiction movies, so they must be true.

Those sirens that are going off are annoying as hell, though. Shiro wishes he could at least shut those off.

Somehow in his escape attempts, Shiro ends up in the holding cell area. Which, miraculously, isn't locked down yet. Probably because Shiro appeared close to the bridge of the ship when he suddenly popped into existence there, so they didn't think to lock this area down.

That's when he sees another of the weird purple guys, but he's locked up? Apparently? He must be in trouble. But if he's in trouble, maybe he would want to bargain with Shiro. It's worth a shot at least.]

Oi! You there, You wanna make a great escape from this shithole?

[Assuming this guy even speaks a language from Earth, at least.]

[ Well, this sure hasn't gone how Ulaz wanted it to. True, the risk of capture was definitely present in his plan, has been a present risk ever since he first went undercover all those centuries ago, but that doesn't mean he's at all pleased that it's happened. And who would be? All he has to look forward to now is endless torture until his body gives out, and that could take... Well, it's not something he's looking forward to.

At least Shiro got out successfully. That makes it worth it. The mission will continue. He can't ask for more than that.

And then the alarms started. That's very curious. Were they under attack? By who? The Blade of Marmora doesn't act so openly, but other, smaller rebel groups certainly exist. They don't tend to last long, but there's always something. This... This could be good. There's no promise they'll come this way, and even if they do, the chances that they'll trust a Galra are slim, no matter how imprisoned or injured he is, but even a slim hope is better than none, so by the time Shiro makes it to his cell, he's already on high alert, straining to get a better view despite being strapped to a vertical table.

When it's a human that shows up on the other side of the door, though, he's temporarily gobsmacked. ]

You-- You're human?
