... What the Hell?

[Keith’s image comes on screen before it disappears once he realizes the device on his arm also has a video feed. Instead, he makes sure the thing transmits only his voice which sounds anything but happy right now.]

What--... What is this? What happened? [This time.] Is anyone getting this?...

[Two seconds.]

Guys...?

[A second and a half.]

C’mon! Lance? Pidge?...

[A second.]

Hunk? Princess?

[Half a second.]

Come in!

Brain-eating space worm. Seriously? [ Flattest expression. But then he reconsiders. ] Did you watch a lot of horror movies back on Earth or is this something you actually ran into?

[ Now that he's replying, he's nodding along to what Keith is telling him. ] Yeap... yeah that's what I'm hearing too. I did run into someone a bit ago. Also human. I, uh, can't say I asked him about what time he was from though. Like, I mean, I can't say I'm surprised there are alien races we haven't run into, it's a big universe and all, but... this is getting pretty weird, even for the stuff we usually run into.

[fighterpaladin]

Uh. Coran? [Hunk told him aaaaaaaaaaall about that. ... And he caught a glimpse of parts of some of the shows on TV, here and there. Allura playing him? Really? What the Hell was that all about?] I'm not the one who watches too many movies. [But seriously, that was a joke and brain-eating space-worm was the first thing to come to mind even before he thought of the Coran fiasco because yes, c'mon, those B-rated gems are as good a way as any to spend a night in the Garrison.

And at Lance's reply, he simply nods.] Yeah. Humans... They shouldn't be here. They shouldn't be here at all. Not even in our time, much less from the past.

[sharpshooterpaladin]

Oh! Oh. [ He had kind of forgotten that Coran only had all those ideas because he caught an actual space parasite. ] ... Yeah that'd be a problem, it's not like we have Bii-Boh-Bi here to help out with it either.

[ However-- ] You know, I'm pretty sure Hunk has watched way more movies than me. [ He'd rather be out and about. Curfew or no curfew.

That just makes him shakes his head. ] I don't get it. I mean, what I get is that we all end up here the same way. It just seems so random.

[fighterpaladin]

[Bii-Boh-Who? Oh, the slim guy? Yeah, Hunk mentioned him in passing, too. And--] That's not what Hunk said. [And he heard you mention something about favorite movie quotes. How was it? 'The hunter becomes the hunted'...? Something terrible like that.

And he nods, passing a couple more doors that don't really seem to open or lead anywhere.] Yeah. I mean-- Why us? Why just us? [Honestly... He really hopes everyone else is alright.]

[sharpshooterpaladin]

How would he know?! [ He's feeling betrayed here. ] Besides, I haven't watched any movies in like... a year or something! [ However long they've been in space. He should've been keeping track. In any case, long enough to feel withdrawal symptoms.

Shakes his head, though. ] I got nothing. Oh, but what I did get is someone told me what's where, more or less. Do you see any numbers anywhere that'll tell you what deck you're on? [ See? Walking around is helping! ]

[fighterpaladin]

I don't know. Isn't he your best-friend? [Shrugs.] Thought you guys were always together in the Garrison. [At least, it seemed that way.

And well, no shit, Lance.] ... Yeah, well. Make that three for me. [... And a small smirk.] Or something.

[But back to the problem at hand. He still hasn't seen any stairs. And-- Huh.] I passed something a while back. Deck 5? I think there's a library here. [Just don't get lost.]

[sharpshooterpaladin]

Sure! [ Hunk is definitely his best friend. ... He's not sure if he's still Hunk's best friend. But, well, no use dwelling on that right now, is there. ] But we only met when we got to the Garrison, it's not like he's known me my whole life.

[ Well, that's pointing out the obvious and also makes Lance snort. ] You know, that's still weird to me.

[ However, deck numbers! ] Okay- okay so. There's six decks total, I'm on deck one right now. But get this, there's a hangar? It's on deck six. We gotta go there.
