Chapter 2
Before I get ahead of myself, there was a lot leading up to me joining Voltron. Then, I was just a normal (for the most part) girl, by the name of Katie Holt. At that point, I got bullied a lot in school. Kids weren't fond of their resident smart girl. They would steal my lunch and way it above my head saying, "Go back to first grade with kids your size!" It sounds dumb, but at the time, it really stung.
Thankfully, I had my older brother. Matt was alway there to help me out and help me keep going. He even taught me to code! One of the best things that Matt did was showing me that people can say whatever they want, but at least I'm doing something meaningful with my advice went pretty well for him and he got into the Galaxy Garrison, the top school for space trainees.
Not long after Matt graduated, he, dad, and Shiro (more on him later) were sent on a high stakes mission to the distant moon of Kerberos. Shiro was a family legend and a one of (if not) the best pilot the Garrison could sent. I trusted that they would be safe.
Oh boy, I was wrong. After they landed on Kerberos, their craft stop sending back signals. The Garrison put out an official report that the ship crashed due to pilot error and everyone on board was killed.
I didn't believe it. I couldn't. They show no pictures or videos feed of a crash. I needed to find out what really happened. So I did the obvious thing and snuck into the Garrison and hacked their main computer. Like any normal person would.
Oh! Did I mention that I frick'n love computers. I probably did but now I'm saying it again! Also anything peanut butter, but not peanuts themselves. I have no clue why you needed to know that, but now you do. Ok, tangent over.
On the Garrison's computer, I found the feed from their probes on Kerberos. It showed no signs of a crash anywhere and it's not like a huge spacecraft can just magically disappear. There was a chance that my family was safe!
That's when my luck ended. A high ranked commander had the bright idea to walk in at that very second. Seeing that this was not my first time breaking in, he banned me from all Garrison property. Talk about over kill.
I needed more information before I did anything crazy and how did I get that information you may ask. Well, by doing something crazy! I couldn't do a thing Katie, so I enrolled in the Galaxy Garrison as Pidge Gunderson.
