Voltron: Rise of the Lion Defenders

Crystal Venom

Allura is in the Memory Chamber with King Alfor's artificial intelligence and the Altean Mice, as the Chamber is a hologram of Altea. Allura was sitting on the floor while the Altean Mice make her some tea.

"I loved the smell of the mountain juniberries in the early morning breeze." Said Allura sighing happily of the fond memory of Altea.

"As did I, Allura." Said King Alfor's A.I.

"Remember the summer berry festival? People would come from all over Altea for the harvest." Said Allura smiling at the hologram.

"I remember how the berry juice stained your favorite dress. You were so upset." Said King Alfor's A.I. and Allura laughs.

"It took forever for Mother to calm me." Said Allura smiles till she frowns in sadness. "I miss Altea so much. I miss you, Father. I wish it didn't have to be this way."

"I know, Allura, but, as leaders, we have to do what's right for our people, even if it means great sacrifice." Said King Alfor's A.I. looking at Allura.

"I know, Father. That's what you always say." Said Allura smiling sadly till Coran enters the Memory Chamber.

"Princess, there you are. What are you doing up and about? You should be resting." Said Coran walking to Allura.

"Oh, Coran, can't I stay?" Asked Allura not wanting to leave the Memory Chamber.

"The Balmera rejuvenation ceremony took a lot out of you. Come along, to your room." Said Coran as he helps Allura stand.

"Get your rest, darling. I will be here for you when you're well." Said King Alfor's A.I.

"I love you, Father. I'll see you soon." Said Allura smiling at her fathers hologram.

Then Coran takes Allura away to her room for her to rest, as the Memory Chamber ends the hologram, King Alfor's hologram display flickers before disappearing.

Meanwhile at the Green Lion's hangar, Pidge is studying the Galra Crystal with her computer, while the Green Lion is laying next to her. After they defeated Sendak and kept him frozen in the cryo-pod, they kept his Galra crystal for research.

"Pidge, please come down to the detainment room." Said Coran speaking over the intercom.

Pidge got frustrated from being interrupted by complies, so she got up from her seat and went to meet the others in the detainment room, with the Green Lion following her, unknown to them, the Galra Crystal glows ominously.

~~~~~~

So Pidge meets Coran, the other Paladins, and the other Lions in front of the pod where Sendak is held. Then Coran places devices on Sendak's pod.

"Okay, guys, Sendak's almost all hooked up. But, look, I have to warn you, this technology was used to keep Altean memories alive, not to interrogate prisoners." Said Coran informing the Paladins.

"Coran, we understand this isn't what the technology was meant for, but if we can extract Sendak's memories, we may gain valuable intelligence on Zarkon's troop locations." Said Shiro as he looks at Sendak.

'Yes, the sooner we get the information, the better will figure out how to defeat Zarkon and free the universe from the Galra Empire.' Said Black agreeing with Shiro.

"Fascinating. So, how exactly does this work?" Asked Pidge looking at the device.

"As the memories are extracted, they're written bit by bit on individual molecules of the micro-storage strands." Said Coran explaining and Pidge is amazed.
