"So," Pidge said, "What are we supposed to do now? I assume you had a reason to bring us here other than just to rescue us?" She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.
Matt stifled a laugh, "Well, we've been trying to get the Atlas up and running, but we don't have enough power, it's basically the same situation as back on Earth all those years ago-"
"Except now we have no handy battery necklace." Pidge finished. "I guess you want us to summon a lion then? Too bad, because we lost the connection a good five years ago."
Matt sighed, then Lance butted in, "Is there a Balmera anywhere near here? We could power it up the same way we did with the Castle of Lions back in the day." He suggested.
Pidge considered, "Is there?" She asked David.
"The closest one is a couple of systems away." He replied, "One of our ships could get you there and back, but you'll have to be quick. The radio monitoring system Karr's put in place is sharp."
Pidge smiled, "I guess I'll just have to wing it." She said, "Come on, Lance, we're gonna find ourselves a MILF!"
Matt put a hand to his face in shame, "That's not what they're called, Pidge."
"Yeah, I'm still calling them that."
Lance slid his fingers across the controls. They clearly hadn't been used in a while as a layer of dust filled every crevice there. He looked beside him at Pidge, wondering what she was thinking about.
"So, co-pilot, can you enter in the co-ordinates as I can't reach the board from here? Thanks." He smiled at Pidge's face when he made that comment. Man, Pidge could gurn like no-one else could.
She put in the coordinates for the Balmera, and Lance took off from the launch pad. They were soon speeding away from the moon the Atlas was grounded on, and surrounded by stars once more.
Then, an awesome idea came to her head. Ridiculous, but awesome.
"Lance?" She asked, "Does this ship have a music system?"
Lance knitted his eyebrows at the strange question, "Why are you asking?"
"Because I snuck a music drive from the office when we were leaving." She smirked.
Lance pondered this for a second, then queried, "What songs are on there?"
Pidge grinned, "Queen: News of The World, deluxe edition. This stuff was the first real music..."
"Isn't that like two hundred years old or something? How did they even get that?"
Pidge put her explaining-things face on, and began. "After The Garrison started discovering more and more planets, they decided that if the government were to move, they would take four Earthly things with them. Music, recipes, books and a calendar."
"Why those things?" Lance asked.
"Music and books to remind them of Earth, recipes to keep foodie culture alive, and a calendar so they wouldn't miss important dates, like the Fourth of July, or Eleventh of November."
"And they chose Queen for the music?"
"Amongst others." Pidge explained, "They also had a bit of Mozart, Calvin Harris and the Star Wars theme tune."
Lance laughed, "Come on, put it into the speaker system. Maybe that works."
Needless to say, a couple of minutes later, both Pidge and Lance were jamming to Queen on a galactic scale.
