[ yet another new face. but someone familiar with it might recognise that shiro is presently inside the castle of lions. ]

We’ve all been told about the anomalies; I got the welcome package same as everyone else, I assume. But I’m wondering — is this still the same galaxy? The same universe? Before I came here, I was falling through a wormhole.

[ for a moment, his expression shifts from neutral to something sad, almost pained. it doesn’t last very long. he wishes he knew where the rest of his team was, whether they’re all right. at least allura is here, but pidge, keith, hunk and lance? he can only hope they're okay, and the forced inactivity doesn't sit well with him. ] I come from a planet called Earth, but I recently learned that there are a lot of space-faring races in the galaxy and that most of the galaxy has already been taken over by the Galra.

Does any of this sound familiar?

[ from what he's seen on the network so far, the question will likely be answered in the negative, and so a moment later he adds: ] If it doesn’t, and this is another universe, — any ideas on how to get back?


( ooc; and for all your ooc plotting needs, shiro on the intro/cr meme! )

What's the likelihood of them getting there?

[bayarm]

They won't, if we stop them.

[ "if". but they've managed so far, at least. ]

[andreios]

What's your defense look like? I might be able to come up with some ways to strengthen it that you could take back with you.

[ If they figure out how to get back. ]

[bayarm]

I'm guessing you've never heard of Voltron?

[andreios]

No. What is it?

[bayarm]

It's a weapon. A robot capable of fighting in space and planet-side formed of other robots. As far as we know, it's the only thing that stands a chance against the Galra Empire.

[andreios]

I've never heard of anything like that. There are weaponized Cylons, but they're single entities. They can't join together to form new ones.

[bayarm]

Nothing like that, I think. It's five lions that together form Voltron.

[andreios]

Five lions turn into a robot? [ A beat. ] We definitely don't have anything like that where I'm from.

[bayarm]

They're robotic lions.

[andreios]

You guys have any other kinds of robots?

[bayarm]

I guess the Gladiator on the Castle counts as a robot, so yes.

[andreios]

That's a warrior robot, I'm guessing? A big one?

[bayarm]

Combat training. He's maybe my size or a bit taller.

[andreios]

That's an interesting thought. Going up a robotic opponent might give humans a better workout than one of their own kind.

[bayarm]

It's definitely a challenge, going up against the Gladiator.
