The inner vents of the battleship were cold and dark, the only light being a soft purple glow that drifted through the grates, reflecting on the shiny metal interior and sending a soft glow throughout the entire shaft. Bianca stationed herself in front of the vents to the main bridge and had been hiding there for about a varga now. She idly wishes she had brought a pillow to sit on. The vents may be big enough for her to easily maneuver through but they were by no stretch of the imagination comfortable. So far the only information she'd been able to get was that they were making plans to doc at system 4DT37, a small red planet with lots of natural resources but few inhabitants due to its toxic atmosphere. She had been planning on staying incognito the entire mission, but at this point she's thinking about just busting out of the vents and taking down the few soldiers in the room so she can hack the ships system for information and leave. Bianca normally would wait a couple more varga before deciding how she wanted to proceed with a mission, but the logical part of her brain is screaming at her, telling her it would be more efficient to hack the system instead of sitting here listening to shallow gossip.
"I can't believe we're now taking orders from the witch. I'd rather go back to listening to Zarcon's half-blood son than her." Galra soldier 1 complains to his partner. Bianca resists the urge to sigh. It seems like every galra soldier shares the same sentiment, and it's getting a bit boring to listen to the same conversation over and over again. Ever since Lotor started going off to do his own thing, Haggar has taken the job of ruling the empire more and more.
"She should have stuck to leading her druids. We don't need her interference to run this place properly." The second galra soldier says, face slightly disgusted and posture proud. Bianca rolls her eyes.
"Did you hear about how she's been talking with people outside of the empire?" The first galra soldier asks. Bianca sits up straighter. She hasn't heard anything about this yet.
"No, why?"
"Well, this is only a rumor I've heard, but it sounds as if she is planning on making a temporary truce to defeat voltron. I've overheard some higher ranking officers talking about it. She's gotten frustrated at Lotor simply toying with them and wants voltron wiped out, so she's been talking about forming an alliance and turning on them once voltron is gone."
"Sounds a bit farfetched to me. Everyone knows the druids hate working with others. I can't imagine the witch willingly letting anyone else help her with something."
"Me neither, but I'd still listen out for anyone talking about it. I'd like to know the enemy before she forces us to work with them. Though if it's true, I can't wait to destroy them once voltron is gone."
The conversation goes back to chatting about unimportant subjects, and Bianca decides she's heard enough. She begins to make her way to the information storage room in the middle of the ship. Now that she has information on what to search for, it should only take a few doboshes to do a quick search of the system. Hopefully she can find something other than a rumor to bring back to the paladins.
