Broadcast

[For those who have seen Krolia and Ulaz, it may be easier to recognize a Galra. A Galra who is picking a piece of confetti off of his shoulder. He looks less than impressed by the fact that he got to have his "celebration" for his arrival to the Goldstone. He also looks like he barely fits in this room that he's been assigned to... No wait. When he shifts it's clear he's in the armory.]

To the SS Goldstone, I am Kolivan of the Blades of Marmora. It seems I have been assigned as your security officer. At least for what is supposedly meant to be security in this...fleet.

[He maaaaaaaaaay not approve of. AT ALL.]

We will need to improve the regulations for this ship. The security needs improvement.

[As for the rest of you, he'll introduce himself in his own fashion to you as well. Though anyone who is from the Blades of Marmora will here a sort of tapping in the background. A coded message to you saying the following: "If there are other Blades here respond. This is Kolivan. If there are any other Blades here please respond..."]

Since I am currently residing with this fleet, the introduction will apply to you as well for the sake of efficiency. For now...signing out.

[And the video ends.]


Goldstone

[With that message sent, he goes back to figuring out the state of the security on this ship. Thus far he's not impressed with it. It's too easy for someone to get onto this ship uninvited. While things appear peaceful that doesn't mean they will remain so.

Which means that it's easy to spot the towering Galra ducking through the ship to figure out where the holes in the security are so he can look into fixing them. The last thing they need is to be vulnerable for a potential attack.

Please don't mind that he's always frowning. That's just...Kolivan.]


Iskaulit

[When he's not on the Goldstone, he's exploring the Iskaulit. He's heard that there are a lot of abandoned rooms here so he's hoping to find more supplies here. Or information. (Especially information.)

Once again, it's easy to spot him since he towers over heads as he walks along. For now his braid is wrapped around his neck almost making it look like he has a white choker. It keeps it out of the way for the time being, something he feels will be necessary should he come across an area where he'll need to put on his helmet. One can never tell what the air quality will be on a ship with abandoned rooms in it.

Alright and he might also be looking for a place to turn into a room so he can have a place to escape to when he wants to stretch out. The Goldstone is clearly not built for Galra bodies like his own.]

[epistemically]

Kolivan.

[ She's glad for the familiar face-- but that's not what caught her initially. The tapping, the coded messaged had her scrambling to respond from her bunk. ]

I see they've brought you here too.

[knowledgeordeath]

[Well that tells him that this is sure to be Krolia. It's not just anyone who would be able to translate the coded message. Of course as pleased as he is to see her, he still just frowns. But she's used to that since it's one of his Blades.]

They have. How long have you been here, Krolia?

[epistemically]

Not as long as some of the others in the fleet. A few quintants at most. I am assigned to the Twin Roses, also in security.

[knowledgeordeath]

What else have you observed during your time here?

[He'll take note of that time issue but deal with it later. Right now he just wants information.]

[epistemically]

The fleet operates as if it were a television show from Earth when you broadcast. The better the ratings, the better the advantages you have-- supposedly. I have not been around long enough to find out if that is true.

There are many of us from our universe and many more from others. It seems the Atroma have designated this fleet as a convergence point, however, their intentions are not quite known. I was only able to access the hospitality deck and the medical ward on the Marsiva while I was stationed there.

[ She pauses, trying not to overload with too much information. Perhaps she should just simply write him a report.]

[knowledgeordeath]

It was the same for myself. Now there appears to be no option to return.

[Hmmm. What don't they want them to find there? What pulled them there?]

Who else from our universe is here?

[He'll settle for that. Establish who his allies are.]

[epistemically]

Unfortunately. It seems the Atroma can decide to pull us back on a whim, but the results of those situations are unfortunate.

[ Ahh yes, now the tricky part. ]

Keith, Lance, Shiro, Veronica, Pidge and Princess Allura of Voltron. Ulaz of the Blades of Mamora. Haggar and Lotor of the Galra Empire.

[knowledgeordeath]

[There's a long moment of... a lot of emotions. First of all, two of those names are dead. Secondly, two of those names are enemies. He doesn't like where this is going.]

Repeat those last three names.

[He heard them right but you can bet he's going to double check anyway.]

[epistemically]

Ulaz. Haggar. Lotor.

[knowledgeordeath]

[His yellow eyes narrow.]

I know I don't need to voice my concerns with the issues I have with those names, Krolia. So I will instead ask for an explanation.

[epistemically]

The Artoma don't discriminate between the dead, or known enemies when they pull them from time. Ulaz was pulled ticks prior to his death, however, you and I will know he is dead. I assume they find it amusing or do not care in regards to the witch or the prince.

[ She pauses. ]

He knows he's dead, Kolivan.

Video

[tempredmental]

[Keith remembered that signal. His mom had pointed it out to them just before they ended up on that planet, lured and trapped by Macidus who was using Kolivan and that signal as bait. The newer Blades didn't know it as well, but Keith was good at remembering things. Having Krolia confirm it was also helpful.]

Kolivan. This is Keith. Are you alright?

[knowledgeordeath]

[There's a moment of sheer anger in his eyes. That they would do this to one of his Blades. It's an insult to the sacrifice that he made.

And just like that, the anger fades. He clearly has set this part to the side for priorities. Something to think about later when he's alone.]

What is being done about the other two?

[knowledgeordeath]

I'm fine.

[Excuse him, he shifts his head again to try to duck through a doorway. Too short. Everything here is so short.]

Krolia has been catching me up on matters involving this fleet.

[tempredmental]

[Keith nodded, one eyebrow quirking slightly before he got what that maneuver was for. He mentally winced.

Though, the Goldstone's ceilings weren't quite as low at the Twin Roses.]

Yeah. There's a lot. She's told you who's here, right?

[knowledgeordeath]

She has. I'm willing to listen to your take on the matter.

[He feels no need to elaborate on the fact that he means Lotor and Haggar.]

private

[tempredmental]

[Keith sighed a little, and then switched to a private channel.]

They're essentially alone, and there's no real source of quintessence for them to exploit here. Lotor outright refuses to associate with the witch, so it's highly doubtful there will be an alliance between them any time soon.

Because they have no support, they've both been playing it careful and avoiding too much exposure.

So, we're doing the same. There's too much at stake for us to act and potentially force their hand at doing something that could damage the Fleet. The less bystanders pulled into this, the better.

[As it was, he had to talk his team down on Lotor's arrival. It hadn't been easy. Some hurts ran pretty deep, and it wasn't just about the scar on his face.]

[knowledgeordeath]

Where are they located and who is keeping an eye on them?

[Because he need to know. He hates this answer and he hates that they're in this position but at least he can believe Keith made the correct decision.]

[tempredmental]

They're on different ships. Lotor's on the Tourist. Allura was assigned there, too. If anything, it means she can watch him closer. Haggar is on the First Breath. No one else from our world is with her, though.

[Keith was definitely bothered by this.]

I feel like one of us transferring over there, though, would be too obvious that we're watching her. Not that I doubt she isn't already thinking we are.

[knowledgeordeath]

It would be better to use allies already on that ship to watch her instead. Our own movements would be deemed suspicious otherwise.

[And she's too powerful for them to be doing that. Even without the resources she's too dangerous for them to be making stupid decisions.]

Who do we know to watch her on the First Breath that won't cause suspicion?

[tempredmental]

I know Tyrion, though I'm not certain if he has any sort of relationship with her at the moment. Shiro knows Akeldama. Apparently, Akeldama is from the same world as two of the other crew members on Shiro's ship. He's been here less time than Tyrion, so he might not have formed any sort of interaction with her, yet.

[knowledgeordeath]

We will need to check in with our allies to find out what they know. Having no one to watch her is dangerous.

[tempredmental]

[Keith nodded.]

I agree.

I'll see if I can find out how close Tyrion is with her. We can ask Shiro to talk to Akeldama.

[knowledgeordeath]

I don't like having someone I'm not familiar with handling this but it will be better than no one.

[Because that's honestly just his paranoia kicking in.]

We can deal with the matter of the dead being alive later.

Broadcast - because we need all the Blades first

[scalpelofmarmora]

[The Atroma seem to have something about Galra or Blades of Marmora at the moment. First Krolia a few days ago and now Kolivan. Welp, no reason to put it off. If someone hasn't told him yet, he'll at the very least be able to see it in the crew roster whenever he's "efficient" enough to look]

Kolivan.
