Welcome to the Nexus

"Well, the stabby end is the point." Issac has decided to be a smart ass.

Mordecai had been picked up by an Atlas crew, and than shuttled over to Sanctuary III where he began to catch up in his time away. But for now he was keeping something secret. Something he wanted to talk with his most trusted partner with before informing the others about.

She rushed on to the ship and screeched to halt. "... Mordecai..." she said and sighed some. "I... are you okay?" Zer0 was still fully suited.

Zer0 looked to him from behind the helmet. "Oh gosh... that's... that's a lot." she sighed. "I hope he'll be okay."

Who goes there?“she said activating her blades. She had tried contacting the others as of late. But so far no response. This. Wasn’t looking to good of a situation she had gotten herself in. Thats when she saw Lotor. Not knowing an order had been given to seek her out and return. Willing or not. Back to zarkon. With her real memories being recovered nearly 80 percent. She was weary. “Stay back” she said as she had an Altean sword in her back pack agaisnst the wall. But so far. She was about 300 feet from said back pack and only had her disks for right now.

“You’re not. My. Brother”she continued to back up and grabbed the sword holding it to him. “Don’t come any closer.” She warned as she winced as she knew the tactic was working due to the tension she got in her head when the spell was trying to reinforce the replacement spell. “I won’t go with you. My brother is. Matthew. Ma” she paused as she tried to remember “Ma.” She bent down as she dropped the sword. “What are you doing to me”she said as a sharp pain pushed through and she held her head. Her memories were fighting itself.

He would stop and put his hands up when the sword was pointed at him. And than he sighed. "Your memories are fighting to come back. Don't resist it. If you come back than I can ensure your protection. Haggar can help if they've be buried too deep." He took a gentle step forward, knelt down,and placed a gentle hand against her cheek. "Dear sister, have they done so much damage that you cannot recognize your family?" He could tell that the spell had significantly weakened in the time she was gone. He was worried it might take more than his words to bring this one back to his side.

Katie looked down as she shook her head as the panic button to alert the ship was about two arms lengths away she shifted towards there. “I know my family.”she clenched her necklace as she leaned over and lunged to the button even though she was about to pass out herself. The purple haired woman came in. “Sir the alarm just went off. We need to leave. Now.” She saw the paladin fighting her memory. Then pass out. “Sir. We need to go. Before the others pinpoint our locations. Or we risk alterations with the enemy. Making extraction more risky of an operation” she stated.

"We will take this one with us. Haggars spell has almost been broken, but as long as he is on our ship they will attempt rescue. That will give us time to prepare to either make our escape, or devise a counter-attack." As long as they had a hostage her team would not try to do anything. So he picked Pidge up quickly and began to make his way out. They could probably make it back to the main ship before their location was compromised. "If we're lucky than we can get back to the witch and she can redo the spell."

Keith was working his way through the corridors as he intercepted the two by accident “hey guys. I found Katie. She”he was about to continue when he was knocked out. “Sir I suggest we take our leave”she stated as they were almost to the ship they breached on. Katie started to stir as she felt herself in someone’s arms. “No.” She said trying to fight with the remaining strength to cease being in others arms. Not let their plan come to fruition.

"Too bad we can not grab that one." He continued on and than the one in arms stirred. "Do not worry. I am not like my father. You will be treated with dignity, hospitality, and honor as a warrior." He was frustrated though. This had not been part of the plan, but they couldn't let the opportunity pass. Especially because he was given a new weapon. "As soon as we get back to the main ship we must make haste to the heart of our empire. Hopefully we can shake them off by then."

Katie went back into Darkness once again and she let the situation take hold. They returned to the ship as haggard took katie. Or Samira. The assumed name she had implanted into Katie’s memories.the reassurance of the spell took about two hours. And put a mild sedative which would wear off in 20. Soon after the spell was restored haggard had returned to the bridge seeing lotor in a pensive state probably worried about the other. She smiled a little. Making herself known.“Son. She is ready for you as our Samira has returned if you wish to visit. Light questions. Only though. I can attend to the ship for a bit. Go. I do know somewhat to do with piloting. Or this one can and I supervise. Go

Katie looked at him as the spell didn’t quite hold this time due to a bracelet allara had given her but she played along. She smirked gently as she was greatly relieved that by haggard doing the spell once more and with the accessory assistance the entire spell was broken. She just needed to find a way to escape. But for now she had to play along. “I’m. Fine”she lied as she looked down.

"That's a relief to hear." Lotor still stared her for a moment. There was unease on his face. "I...have one more question. You know that I am different from other Galrans. I fight as fairly as possible, allow my worlds to govern themselves under my protection, and fight alongside my soldiers. So...do you think it cowardly to have mother's magic for help?" This was something he would not ask anyone normally. But it had begun to eat at him. "I only ask this because without it I do not believe Voltron can be defeated. Or at least the lions themselves cannot be."

She sighed as she looked down. She didn’t know what to say. she could say the truth. It would only confirm the spell didn’t take hold. “If we can return to that at another timeframe.”she looked at the bracelet. One of the gems connected with her subconscious and transmitted her own memories back to her. A precautionary measure the princess had given her if she were captured once more to fend of the memory spell. “Were we able to loose the hostiles that mother had informed me about?”she asked as she put her hands to her side and got off the table she had been laying on

"For the moment. But while you were unconscious our ship sustained damage to the engines. We're fine for now, but if we do not stop to make repairs in a few days we could lose propulsion, and we'll be left adrift. Our faster than light travel was also damaged in the brief skirmish. Luckily we were able to escape thanks to our mother." Only reason he was saying all of this was because he believed her to be under his mother's spell.

"I did what I had to. But whatever you think i did is nothing compared to what my father would actually do." It was the truth. In his mind the empire would be stronger if the conquered worlds worked together. Him and his father had the same goals to an extent, but vastly different methods to achieve that end goal. "Get use to the idea of seeing comrades fall. Because in a war the one next to you could be taken in an instant."

Katie looked at him as she tried to attack him but got the same reaction as before. The chains pulling back tighter. “I’d join us little one. You would be so much better using that big brain of yours to our side.” She toyed with the paladin as she caressed the others cheek. She heard stop. “Sorry my lord. I just wanted to play with our little guest here. “

Lotor glared at her and than moved closer. “I apologize for her behavior. You deserve to be treated with respect as any warrior should be. But the fact that you have a brilliant mind as well cannot be downplayed either. If you were join our ranks than you would have access to the most advanced technologies in the galaxy.”

ezor sighed as she backed away. “And should I say yes. I have a condition. Convince Zarkon that voltron and the free colonies are not going to be conquered. And to leave the altean ship alone. Is my condition. “She stated as she knew it was a high order. But if he got it to come to pass the war could be over. With out anymore bloodshed
