Broadcast: Open, Fleet wide
Action: SS Heron
When: Today

[A - Network/Video]

[Oh man, not again. Being kidnapped by some unknown alien force really needed to stop happening. What are even the odds of that? Is there a card you can get stamped? And just in case waking up alone in this very stark room wasn't bad enough, his head was killing him. Probably from the alien lo-jack that he felt behind his ear. Or... that's what he assuming the bump was. But he could worry about that later. He needed to find the others.

Shaking off the headache he slipped off the bed to head for the door. It was eerily quiet as he entered the Hospitably Deck and he paused. The place looked abandoned. Oooookay. This isn't creepy at all. He scanned the area, searching for anything that remotely looked like control panel and made a b-line for it.

The feed flicked on to reveal the image of a young man wearing quite the colorful space suit. His expression brightened seeing that the video was going through.]

There we go.... Hello? Lance? Guys? Is anyone picking up this transmission? This is Hunk, Yellow Paladin of Voltron and I have no idea where I am. I thought I saw a sign that said 'Hospitality Deck' but there doesn't seem to be anyone here. I'd at least expect cupcakes.

Except there is some smooth jazz playing in the distance somewhere? Which just makes me being alone even creepier.

If anyone is getting this, please respond.


[B - SS Heron Bridge]

[There was a sudden new surprise for the crew of the SS Heron. With a flash of confetti and the fanfare of tiny trumpets, a very confused looking Hunk was now standing in the middle of their bridge. He barely had time to send a broadcast let alone explore the previous ship he was on before he was whisked away again. Man, today just keep getting weirder.]

Hello? Anyone here?

[He picked the confetti from his hair as he scanned the room. Defiantly not on the Castle, but hey, its not galra either so... glass half full? And wait a second. Does his eyes deceive him? Was that a plate of chocolate pudding? It was that moment his stomach decided to make it's presence known. When was the last time he ate? Honestly, he couldn't remember which means it was too long. You know, you can't think when your tank is empty.

Sliding on over to the plate, Hunk picked up one of the small cups and was instantly filled with regret the moment its contents touched his lips. Blech! That wasn't chocolate! It was just paste to taste like chocolate which is just an insult to real chocolate! A wave of betrayal washed over his face as he stared down at the cup in his hands.]

Great.... I'm missing food goo already.

[Oh hey, it's the other lion guy! Sokka turns on the video feed with a wide smile. ]

Hey, Hunk! I'm Sokka. You're uh- well it's complicated, but basically we've all been kidnapped for a TV show. Good news though? The other Paladins are here, also your princess-lady.

[legs4days]

[Of course it was. Wait... does that mean he was being filmed now? He shot a warry glancs over his shoulder as if doing so he would suddenly spot the hidden cameras. Well... between this and fighting the galra, things could be worse?]

Please tell me it's a nice TV show at least. This place is giving me the creeps.

[At the mention of them others, Hunk jumped on the topic.]

Allura and the other Paladins are here? You've seen them? Are they okay?

Video

[alwayscomeback]

...I mean. Do you want me to tell you what you want to hear or the truth?

[Which probably answers that question for him. ]

They sure are. Allura is on my ship, the Blue Fish. OH OH also, a gal named Shay? She seems to know you guys. The others are around various ships, but all okay.

[No... way...

Keith stared at his comm in shock for a second, and then grabbed it to respond.]

Hunk? Hey, it's me. Keith.

Are you okay?

video

[legs4days]

[Seeing a familiar face, Hunk instantly beamed.]

Keith! Oh man, I'm so glad to see you. I'm okay other than my head is a little sore and there is a distinct lack of cupcakes on this 'Hospitality Deck'.

How are you? Are you okay?

Re: video

[tempredmental]

[That was so... refreshingly Hunk. Keith couldn't but smile a little.]

Yeah. There is a kitchen there, though. Probably the best one in the Fleet, so you might want to take advantage of it before they transport you to your assigned ship. Who knows what you'll end up with when you get there.

[In regards to that question? Keith shrugged a bit.]

I'm alright. It's good to see you, Hunk.

[pb_n_jocular]

Hate to break it to you, buddy, but food is not one of their higher priorities here. Yeah, we got it, but it's like the most basic level of food you can get. Fortunately, we got plenty of space to get creative so I'm sure once you get shuffled onto a ship you'll have better luck.

video

[legs4days]

[Hunk's face soured a bit.]

Not a priority? But food is unifying factor for all life! I have yet to meet someone who doesn't love good food.

[Sighs.]

If they have anything that resembles food, I think I can make it work. Oh! And if they have kitchens.

video

[pb_n_jocular]

Oh, don't worry; there are kitchens. You can get creative with food but you gotta start from scratch. Helps that we stop periodically at waystations and planets and stuff so you can stock up. But the crap the Atroma supplied us with? Blech. It's all protein paste stuff. I already had my fill of that, thank you very much.

So what's your favorite food?

[padadin]

Hunk!

[Shiro is super happy to see him. He knows he shouldn't be, because being kidnapped shouldn't be something you wish on people, but he can't help it. His whole team is here now, and well, their presence is comforting. Sue him.

Big smile for his leg!] I'm not sure if they have cupcakes but - you should find a kitchen nearby.

[Video]

[legs4days]

[Hunk had to do a double take when Shiro's face suddenly popped up. The last thing he remembered before waking up here was that Shiro disappeared from the Black Lion. Was this where he gone off to?

After a moment of just silent staring , Hunk finally beamed.]

Hey! I found Shiro!

....

That was easier than I thought. I was expecting us to scour the universe looking for you. And it was going to be a huge bonding moment for all of us. But... but this is good to.

How are you? I mean, you look okay.

[padadin]

[...ah. It's funny how he can guess the point in time everyone comes from just by seeing their reaction to him. His disappearance isn't an easy subject, really, especially with Keith, but... how can't he chuckle at that? Look, Hunk, space dad is a bit more relaxed here.]

You found me, Hunk. It can still be a bonding moment - I have gift for you. [No teammate of his will left out of the plush pile.] I'm fine, ignoring the reality show aspect. Are you okay? [...] Do you also just come from fighting Zarkon?

action!

[torsion]

[ Been there, done that, hated that. It was incredibly jarring to be kidnapped into a welcoming like that -- not to suggest being dragged into alternate (maybe?) dimensions and outer space in and of itself isn't jarring, of course.

She hears everything else before she hears him and though she's been more actively on the planet than the ship since it became available to her, she hangs around and explores every now and then. And naps in her bunk, which she'd been doing more recently before simply lounging around.

She approaches with great consideration and care, shoulders rolling back as she lightly massages the crook of her neck. ]

Hey, what's up? [ Maybe too casual. She keeps her smile tight, like she knows this all sucks. It's a good indicator that she's just like him and a "guest," so to speak, around these parts. Without getting into his personal space much, she holds out a hand and vaguely leans in. ] Jill. I'm tactical support on the Heron.

action!

[legs4days]

[Hunk raised his head from staring down at his hands to see a woman walk in. She was the first real person he has seen since being here. Well, the people over the network were real but you know, they weren't physical. Thank heavens he was not alone here!

Casting glances between her out-stretched hand and his not-pudding cup, he place it back down on the plate before giving Jill a firm handshake.]

Hey, nice to meet you, I'm Hunk. I think I'm your engineer. [He gave her a relieved smile.] You're the first real person I've seen. You have no idea how happy I am to see you. The place I woke up at had no one.

[torsion]

[ Seeing someone in person is always very different than talking to them on the phone or texting them. It's a little like when she'd spoken to Chris, however briefly, before meeting up with him. It was a great relief, but not the same as seeing someone in person. Especially when you've been interdimensionally kidnapped.

Jill clasps his hand, but doesn't shake. Her grip is just strong enough; no struggle or intent to overpower. ]

Ha, really? That a code name? Well, all the same, welcome to the ship. Afraid I've not been here terribly long, but I can do my best to answer any questions you might have. [ The retracted hand settles on her hip, but she remains pleasant and light in expression and tone when she speaks. ] Well, there are several others. Think they might've all taken a shuttle to the planet we're near right now, though, so it might be a good time to familiarize yourself with the ship.

Hunk! [Shay is delighted. Her eyes light up, craggy face splitting into a smile. She even tries to reach through the monitor to touch him for a moment before forgetting that she can't do that, and a long-fingered hand drops back to her lap.]

I am so glad to see you!

A

[legs4days]

[Oh no, she really was here. A cold pit grew in his stomach. But... she seemed in good spirits so that put him at ease a bit. She's fine. Good.]

I'm glad to see you too, Shay. [He smiled, even though he was still a little hesitant of her being here.] I'm a little shocked to find you here. You doing okay? Everything must be new to you.

HUNK!!! YOU'RE HERE!

[Lance is pretty much bouncing up and down from where he's standing in front of the camera. Look, he's missed his best friend badly, okay?]

[Video!]

[pidge_out]

[There are only so many people that Pidge is ever excited to see, and it so happens that Hunk is one of them. So have a really thrilled-looking Pidge-face grinning at the camera.]

Hunk!! Welcome aboard!!

[Video!]

[legs4days]

[Hey! The gang is all here! Hunk was really glad to see Pidge's face. He needed someone to talk shop with and boy, he had questions about what was going on.]

Pidge!

Heh, thanks for the welcome. To where ever this is. But man, I'm glad to see you. We need to get together to talk about that's going on.
