TEAM VOLTRON + FRIENDS

So [...] my friends at the military are dead. And my lab is gone, like it never existed.

	I'm sorry, Matt. We'll get revenge or peace somehow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd prefer justice. But yes, I think we will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I come from a place where everything hurts, everything dies too soon, and nothing is beautiful. It's terrible. But I still had hope for something better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sorry. It's impressive that you still have hope after that. I saw horrible things in the Galra empire, some planets and places where things were a lot like that. But that wasn't the kind of world I grew up in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't be sorry. Before I was taken, I grew up in The Green Place. The Vuvalini, or The Many Mothers, took care of me. I sometimes have a hard time trusting men. I met one that changed that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess it's not really sorry so much as I hate that places like that exist. That's understandable, although I'm glad someone managed to change your mind because I like having you as a friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That works. His name was Max and he left after he helped me and the girls. We worked together well, I didn't think I could be that close to someone. It wasn't love or something silly like that, it was respect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At home I felt like I was doing something about it, fighting the Galra. Here I was just trying to help the military research the portal. But [...] I don't know how that's going to work now. He must have been a pretty amazing guy to earn your respect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vuvalini 2018-04-09 05:15 am UTC (link)
	What was the Galra? You can still research. There's still foundations here. He was very useful. A bit like a feral dog at first, but he came around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The name of a race - an alien race - and also a powerful empire that had colonized and enslaved multiple planets, usually for the sake of whatever power or raw materials the planet had to offer. They also abducted individuals of all species and sent them to fight in arenas or work in camps or labs.

[...] I was one of the ones kidnapped, along with my father and one of my best friends, while we were on a space mission to Kerberos, one of Pluto's moons. And I ended up being rescued by the rebels and fighting with them, and then my sister found me and I started working with her team too.

Yeah. And I probably will.

That's good. If he shows up here, I'd like to meet him.

	My mother and I were kidnapped. I know that pain, Matt. I would introduce you to him. I would like to see him again, just to know he's alive somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	encrypting 2018-04-09 05:35 am UTC (link)
	I wouldn't have survived in the arena, but my friend saved me from it. I ended up in the work camps and apparently they put my dad in one of the labs. I haven't seen him in years, I only just found out he's still alive. [...] What happened to your mother? I hope he is. He sounds like a survivor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She died three days after we were brought to the Citadel.

I won't go into much detail because it's really awful and I don't want you to hear it-- but once I got a little older, I started to work for the people that kidnapped me. I became an Imperator. A high ranking officer. Then I took the leader's wives and tried to take them back to my home.

He is. He was strapped to the front of a car when I first spotted him. He got out of there and tried to steal my rig.

I'm sorry. [...] I know you don't want to hear that but it's what I really mean this time.

I can handle a lot, but maybe not right at this moment for the worst things. Since I have to deal with my dead friends right now. And if you really don't want to tell me anytime you don't have to do it. [...] So you were basically a spy. That's amazing. Did you manage to get them back to your home?

And I'm guessing you managed to get it back from him, and in the process became friends/allies?

	It's all right. Max had a plan. He had us go back and take over the Citadel. So I returned what was stolen and changed the way things happened. At least, I was hoping to. I convinced him his best path was to stick with me and the girls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You hadn't finished it yet? I was right in the middle of a battle to take a planet named Naxzela. But Pidge is from slightly farther in the timeline and she knew that we'd managed it. [...] There might be something on the internet about whether that worked. Most of us have stuff like that out there. If you wanted to check.

In a world like that, that's what I would have done.

Do you want to try to find out what happened? The future's a tricky thing. But sometimes it's good news, like about my dad.

I've always been smart, but brains aren't everything. I would have died in the arena if Shiro hadn't gotten me out. I wouldn't have gotten out of the work camps if I hadn't gotten to know the rebels there. What I'm saying is, the most important thing I've learned is that I've only gotten this far because of the people around me. [...] Which is not to say I'm useless. I've helped them too. But still, sticking with the right people is important.

	How would I find out? I was alone for a lot of it. But I was put in charge of the girls for a bit. To be honest, I hated them at first. They had the high life. But then I saw they didn't really have much freedom. Freedom is more important than luxury. They were more useful than I imagined as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	encrypting 2018-04-10 02:49 am UTC (link)
	The internet. A google search of your name is likely to come up with something. But I don't recommend that unless you're really ready to read it. I agree that freedom is the more important thing. And I'm glad you found people you could work with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vuvalini 2018-04-10 03:22 am UTC (link)
	You'll have to show me. Thanks, Matt. I'm glad you made it out as well, so that we can meet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	encrypting 2018-04-10 03:31 am UTC (link)
	Okay. I can do that whenever I see you. Aww, thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
