I don't own Voltron legendary defender.

Somewhere inside Sendak's memories, we should be able to find the inside information that gives us the key to take down Zarkon said Allura.

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. Winner gets the universe said, Lance.

Anything good yet, Pidge? Shiro asks.

We were only able to salvage bits and pieces said Pidge

We need something to work with. 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 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, Shiro.

Zarkon's been building his empire for 10,000 years. We're not going to tear it down overnight with five inexperienced pilots and one support ship. 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. 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? Hunk asks.

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

Or Space Base said, Lance.

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? Lance asks.

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. 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? Pidge asks.

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

Then, we'd better go down to take a look. We'll need to enter here: the central control building said Allura.

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

I'm going with you. I've traveled through the Galra transportation hubs many times with my father before the war began. 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. I'm going. Does anyone have a problem with that? Said Allura.

Uh said, Coran.

Fine. Suit up said, Shiro.

We'll go in low, fast, and hopefully undetected. Coming around the dark side of the nearest planet should keep them from getting a visual on us. 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

How's it look out there? Shiro asks.

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. We should get a nice, clean translation immediately. Hunk had a great idea about how to do it said Pidge.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, 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. 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? Keith asks.

We just need a few more seconds said Pidge.

Stay low. We need this intel said, Shiro.

Get down said Keith.

He's still looking. I think he's waiting for a signal or something said Lance.

I got it said Hunk.

Whew said Hunk.

Nice job, Hunk said Lance.

Thanks said Hunk.

Okay, download complete said Pidge.

What's it say? Nothing. This place doesn't have any useful information. Just a schedule of the ships coming in and out said, Keith.

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

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

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

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? Keith asks.

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

How the heck did you do that? Hunk asks.

The Alteans are a chameleon-like people who can blend in with the local populations. 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? Lance asks.

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

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

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

No, just one at a time, and I will need a change of costume. 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. I'm going in with you said, Shiro.

You will stick out like a Shoferiak's nose said Allura.

You're going to need that nose, Princess. Shiro's hand is made from Galra tech. It's the only thing we have that will allow us to interface with their systems and gather intel. 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? Keith asks

Halt said a galra sentry.

Move along said the Galra sentry.

They're in said, Lance.

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

Well, I suspect that its sporks said Hunk.

What? This is an advanced race we're talking about here. 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. What is coming in and out of this station said Pidge.

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

Keith, think about what you're doing. Don't walk through that door said, Lance.

I think I told him said, Lance.

You are a paragon of leadership, Lance said Pidge.

Scene changes to the galra ship.

Shiro has a flashback.

Shiro, are you all right? Allura asks.

I just remembered how I escaped from the Galra ship. Listen, most of the ship's personnel are sentries said, Shiro.

So? Allura.

When I was a prisoner, I timed their pattern said, Shiro.

Do you remember it? Allura asks.

Let's find out said, Shiro.

On the Ship

Shiro uses her arm to beat Galra sentries.

We only have a few minutes before the next patrol comes by. Watch the door said, Shiro.

Got it said Allura.

Okay, Pidge, start the download said, Shiro.

Generating access code said Pidge.

We're in said Pidge.

Pidge, I think there's a problem said, Shiro.

Sit tight. I'm trying to work around this said Pidge.

COMPUTER: Scanning for information

Pidge? Said, Shiro.

I'm on it, I'm on it says Pidge.

What's going on here? Who are you? A Galra sentry asks.

It's about time you got here. Where is the rest of your squad? Said Allura.

Uh, what squad? The Galra asks.

Hurry up, Pidge said Shiro.

Almost there said Pidge.

The squad that is to escort me and my associate to our ship said Allura.

Who's back there? What's going on? The Galra asks/

We are part of Zarkon's high command. Our work must not be disturbed said Allura.

Where's Chief Information Officer Plytox? The galra asks.

Uh, he's in there. Say hello, Plyrox said Allura.

Uh...Uh... It's Plytox said, Shiro.

Oh, sorry. See? Said Allura.

Oh. Vrepit sa, sir! I get his name wrong all the time, too said the galra.

Whew said Allura.

Um said the Galra.

Huh? Said Allura.

Do you think I could get assigned to Zarkon's unit? Nothing happens on this ship said the galra.

Oh, well, I don't know. What's your bloodthirstiness on a scale of one to five? One being "No, thanks, I'm full," and five being Unquenchable said Allura.

Hmm... If I'm being honest, about a three said the Galra.

We can work on that said Allura.

Alarm blares.

Computer: Fugitive prisoner 117-9875 detected. Remain where you are. Security alerted."

Uh, help! Intruders said the Galra.

I think we're in trouble said, Shiro.

You think? Said Allura.

What? Said Allura.

Galra Drones walk towards them.

Let's go said, Shiro.

Galra drones attack, Allura fires the weapon the wrong way, hitting a patrol behind them.

What? Asks Allura,

I thought you said you'd traveled around the galaxy. I mean, you fly a spaceship. How could you possibly not know how to hold this correctly? Said, Shiro.

I'm tense! This is a tense situation said Allura.

Secure hatches. All personnel take positions for departure said A galra.

The escape pods are up here said, Shiro.

male voice: Formulating navigation. All crew assume secure hyper-speed positions."

Hurry! We can't leave once the ship goes into hyper-speed said Allura.

It's taking off! Get in the pod said Allura.

I'm not leaving you! Said, Shiro.

Allura throws her - one-handed into the pod. The Galra drones break through the door and capture her. The ship jumps into hyperspace.

Shiro arrives on the Green Lion to confused looks.

Where's Allura? Asks Keith.

Shiro? Asks Lance.

She sacrificed herself to save me said, Shiro.

She knew if I was captured I would be brought straight to Zarkon saud 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. We can't let Zarkon get Allura said, Shiro

But you said going there would be a huge mistake. you said for us to attack that place head-on would be the dumbest possible thing we could ever do said Hunk.

Plus you risk being captured yourself said, Keith.

I know, but now we don't have a choice said, Shiro.
