[video feels most natural to the princess, and from the lighting and background of the feed it's apparent she's recording this not on the Eluvio, but from her own ship. she also looks quite serious about what she's about to say. oh and her voice is like...British but very obviously not actually British.]
To those few of us on the network: Greetings. I am Princess Allura of the Castle of Lions, and I have been traveling with the fleet for well over a month at this point in time. It has come to my attention that...not only is some Earthling holiday fast approaching, but more importantly there are new arrivals having been brought in by the very anomalies that have trapped us here.
[and yes!! you have heard her loud and clear: she said trapped.]
I wish to extend my own personal welcome to these newcomers, but I also regret to inform you that the nature of this fleet may not be...as pleasant as you may have hoped. Just recently, a handful of teams had been sent down to what had once been a nearby planet, Oros, to not only research the land and its people, but to retrieve a relic of sorts, of which the nature has still not been made clear to the rest of us.
[Allura frowns, expression hard, and there's an obvious pause as she attempts to gather herself, looking away from the camera momentarily.]
Somehow, something had went wrong during these missions, and the planet Oros was destroyed. The Fek and the Trilk who walk among us as fellow passengers are the very last of their kind; refugees due to...what I hope to say had been a mistake.
I am not looking to lower morale, or take anything away from the upcoming holiday if you are to celebrate it. But I only look to inform newcomers of the situation they have arrived to, and...to ask that we continue to extend our hospitality to those who have lost everything.
[AND JUST WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S NEARLY DONE WITH HER SPEECH, she continues.]
Also, among our newcomers are the Paladins of Voltron, and while that name may mean little here, we still have a duty to uphold as Defenders of the Universe. [SORRY GUYS YOU AREN'T GETTING ANY VACATION TIME HERE.] And it is with their arrival and recollection of events that have not yet happened that I...am beginning to suspect that our being here may not go noticed or even change what goes on back where we're from.

IT'S YOU.
she narrows her eyes and she is CLEARLY HOLDING BACK HER FRUSTRATION for the sake of saving face or whatever but it's!! there. because you are literally picking on a young person, Reaper, way to be.]
Well, we know what happened. Bombs were detonated somehow, that much is clear. But I do not know who set these bombs off, nor why no further research had been done before a team had been sent down to steal the Relic.
[woops. the 'steal' slips out. clearly she means 'retrieve.'
also she's ignoring your sarcasm because she knows what Voltron is all about even though they're missing a vital component and can't. actually form Voltron.]

He's almost smiling behind his mask as she replies--and he has to admit he's impressed with how professional she keeps her response. He calmly folds his arms over, listening to her, at least, until she's done.
Good, no mention of a certain associate of his who had helped cause the issue. Either she really didn't know, or was keeping it quiet. Whichever it was, he'd be quietly thankful for it. Even if he was still pissed at Eluvio themselves for letting shit like this happen.]
'Steal', hm. So we're fully aware that the Fleet's intentions on this planet were less than pure. And now look, an entire species is on the verge of extinction.
It really goes to show how good the intentions of our generous crew here are. I do wonder how important this Relic is, don't you.
no subject
[but her gaze, laden with doubt, shows that it's not so much a question, but a fact as far as she's concerned.]
So yes, I do wonder about this Relic. While I still do not...fault them for the circumstances of the anomalies bringing us here [BUT HOO BOY SHE IS starting to blame them because she's stubborn and does that Thing where she jumps to conclusions] the very least they can do is inform us of the going ons in the ship. Not of everything, but of those things that do concern us. Why send crew members down to a planet with faulty intel?

I'm no stranger to scientific anomalies, so I've long let that one slide. What with how many of us are here from different places, an 'accident' is a fair cop-out to why it's happening. [Choosing his words carefully, he at least reveals that he's not sure about that himself.]
Think that if they have the gall to send us down to other planets on missions, that they'd at least tell us what's going on. Putting our necks on the line for people we don't care about and aren't invested in.
We're owed that much.
No matter how fucking damaging it is to their 'reputation' as a well-organized fleet. [He doesn't mind working for 'bad' people, but this hidden agenda shit wasn't acceptable in his head.]
