I don't own Voltron.

Somewhere inside Sendak's memories, we should be able to

find the inside information that gives us the key to take down Zarkon.

'I don't think your father would approve of searching through an enemy's memories said, Coran.

I know, but we have to do everything we can to defeat Zarkon said Allura.

Once we learn all his weaknesses, we can drive up to his front door and challenge him to a fight, Lance.

Winner gets the universe said, Lance.

Anything good yet, Pidge? asks Shiro,

We were only able to salvage bits and pieces said Pidge.

We need something to work with said, Keith.

Right now, we don't even have a decent map of the empire said Keith,

Who needs a map? After 10,000 years of conquering, I could probably fire my bayard at like any random point in space and hit a Galra ship said, Lance.

If we could just find troop locations or supply routes, small targets we could hit-and-run, then we could start to free planets one by one said, Shiro.

Boring. I want the big kaboom said, Lance.

Zarkon's been building his empire for 10,000 years said Shiro,

We're not going to tear it down overnight with five inexperienced pilots and one support ship said Shiro,

Hitting him where he lives would be a huge mistake said, Shiro.

Okay, I've cross-referenced Sendak's memories with the info I got from the downed ship back on Arus said Pidge,

Most of it was a garbled mess, but one thing kept repeating, something called a "Universal Station" said Pidge.

Universal Station? Like, the kind of station that controls the entire universe? asks Hunk.

Well, we are translating it from Galra, so it could also be "Galactic Hub" said Pidge.

Or "Space Base"! What? said Lance.

I'm pulling up the location of your Universal Hub Station Base on our screens now said Coran,

So... where is it? asks Lance.

I don't know. Our long-range sensors are unable to find anything at those coordinates said, Coran.

Maybe he remembered it wrong said, Keith.

Or maybe we just stumbled across a top-secret base in Sendak's memories said Pidge,

Only one way to find out said Allura.

Let's go take a look said Allura.

We should be close enough to get a good scan but far enough away to avoid being noticed said Allura.

There it is said, Shiro.

It appears the gravitation between the two planets warps the electron emission spectrum enough to keep the planet off the deep space scanners said, Coran.

So you can only see it if you really know where to look said Pidge.

This place must handle shipments from all over the Galra Empire said, Shiro.

If this is some big airport where shipments come and go, why is it hidden? asks Pidge.

There must be more to this than we're seeing said, Shiro.

Then, we'd better go down to take a look said Allura.

We'll need to enter here: the central control building said Allura.

I'm sorry, Princess, did you say "we"? asks Keith.

I'm going with you said Allura.

I've traveled through the Galra transportation hubs many times with my father before the war began said Allura.

I know more about them than any of you said Allura.

Princess, I'd rather you stay here said, Coran,

I'm a part of this fight against Zarkon as much as anyone said Allura.

I'm going said Allura.

Does anyone have a problem with that? asks Allura.

Fine. Suit up said, Shiro.

All: Huh?

We'll go in low, fast, and hopefully undetected said, Shiro.

Coming around the dark side of the nearest planet should keep them from getting a visual on us said, Shiro.

Thanks to Pidge's modifications to the Green Lion, we'll have 30 seconds of cloaking said, Shiro.

I can flood their short-range sensors with a radiation burst. That should buy you a minute or so, while they assume it's cosmic interference. But, after that, it's up to you to be out of sight said Coran,

Psst! Hey said, Shiro.

Galran: Hmm?.

How's it look out there? asks Shiro.

All clear said, Keith.

This shouldn't take too long said Hunk.

We'll have all the information we need in a few minutes said Pidge.

Hunk and I have made some improvements since the last time I tried to download Galra info said Pidge.

We should get a nice, clean translation immediately said Pidge,

Hunk had a great idea about how to do it said Pidge.

Yeah yeah yeah said Hunk.

Do you guys remember when we studied algorithms at the Garrison, and Mr. York told us that joke about the ghost learning symbolic logic and innumerably infinite sets? said Hunk.

Boring said, Lance.

Right, yeah, totally, it was boring said Hunk.

Anyway, the joke goes... said Hunk.

Hey, guys, sorry to interrupt, but I think we got company said, Keith.

Think we should get out of here? asks Keith.

We just need a few more seconds said Pidge.

Stay low said Shiro,

We need this intel said, Shiro.

Get down said Keith.

Galran: Huh?

He's still looking said, Lance.

I think he's waiting for a signal or something said, Lance.

I got it said Hunk.

Pidge and Hunk: Whew.

Nice job, Hunk said Lance.

Thanks said Hunk.

Okay, download complete said Pidge.

What's it say? asks Keith

Nothing said Pidge,

his place doesn't have any useful information said Pidge.

Just a schedule of the ships coming in and out said Pidge,

Well, I guess this mission was a bust said, Lance.

Let's get back to the Castle said, Shiro.

Hold on said Allura.

Pidge, do you know where that ship is headed? asks Allura.

Um, it's scheduled to be here for about a half an hour, then head off to Central Command said Pidge.

That's where they have the information we need, and I'm going to sneak aboard that ship and get it for us said Allura.

What? No way said, Lance.

How are you going to get in? asks Keith.

I'm going to walk right through the front said Allura.

How the heck did you do that? asks Hunk.

The Alteans are a chameleon-like people who can blend in with the local populations said Allura.

It's the ability that's made us great explorers and diplomats throughout our history said Allura.

So, can you turn into, like, a balloon? asks Lance.

How many different colors can you be at once? asks Pidge.

Aren't you afraid you'll rip your pants? asks Hunk,

No, just one at a time, and I will need a change of costume said Allura.

I can use his uniform as a disguise said Allura.

I can't let you go in there alone said, Shiro.

Excuse me? I do not need your permission said Allura.

It's too dangerous said, Shiro

I'm going in with you said, Shiro.

You will stick out like a Choferiak's nose said Allura,

You're going to need that nose, Princess said Pidge.

Shiro's hand is made from Galra tech said Pidge.

It's the only thing we have that will allow us to interface with their systems and gather intel said Pidge.

I can monitor the download remotely from here said Pidge.

Fine, you can come said Allura.

Uh, you guys better hurry up if you want to get on and off before the ship leaves for Zarkon central said Hunk.

How are you going to get Shiro on board? asks, Keith.

They're in said, Lance.

What do you think they have in all those giant containers? asks, Keith.

Well, I suspect that it's sporks. What? said Hunk.

This is an advanced race we're talking about here said Hunk.

Surely, they've learned that it's foolish to have forks and spoons when one tool will efficiently do the job said Hunk.

Maybe this guy will tell us said Pidge.

What is coming in and out of this station? Asks Pidge.

Drone: Interrogation detected. Initiating lockdown.

Not talking, eh? said Pidge,

Whoa. Check out this guy said, Keith.

Whatever's happening here that requires the base to be kept secret must have something to do with that scary dude said, Keith.

I'm going to go check it out said, Keith.

How about we just lay low and you don't blow our cover? said, Lance.

Keith, think about what you're doing said Lance.

Don't walk through that door said, Lance.

I think I told her said, Lance.

You are a paragon of leadership, Lance said Pidge.

Keith follows the scary dude and sees what they're doing.

Coran, you need to see this said Keith.

Scene change.

I've never seen anything like it said Coran.

Scene change

What is that? asks Pidge,

Drone: (beeping) The material is quintessence, the substance with the highest known energy per unit volume in the universe.

Hey, nice job, Pidge said Lance.

You made him work for us said Lance,

Scene change

What? Impossible said, Coran.

Scene change,

Drone: Raw quintessence material is transported here from throughout the galaxy and refined into standardized Galra fuel requirements.

Did you guys hear that? asks Pidge.

Scene change

I can't believe it said Coran,

They've found a new way to acquire quintessence said, Coran.

Scene change

Guys, I'm going to steal some of this quint-whatever said, Keith.

Mm? Okay, plan B said Keith.

Keith fights the scary dude.

Pidge! I need an extraction now! Hurry said, Keith.

Get in said Pidge.

We've got to get Shiro and Allura said Pidge.

Huh? said Keith.

Keith's skins absorbs the quintessence.

Back on the Castle.

Where's Allura? asks Keith.

Shiro? said, Lance.

She sacrificed herself to save me said, Shiro.

So, she's still on that ship? asks Pidge.

The ship that's headed to Zarkon's Central Command? asks Hunk.

The place that's way too dangerous for us to attack? asks Keith.

It doesn't matter how dangerous it is said, Shiro.

We can't let Zarkon get Allura said, Shiro.

But you said going there would be a huge mistake said Hunk.

You said for us to attack that place head-on would be the dumbest possible thing we could ever do said Hunk.

I know said, Shiro.

But now we don't have a choice said, Shiro.
