The Plan

💚Pidge's POV💚
My knees dig into my chest as I crouch down out of sight. We all sit behind a counter top squished up against each other. The sirens pierce the air once again. Loud thumps echo in the ring. After about ten minutes it all stops. I hear a shuffle to my right and lookup slightly seeing Marnie holding out a hand. She helps us out of our hiding place and we move into the center of the metal ring. Now there were hundreds of Terrans gathered staring at us in awe. I guess to them we were like their saviors. "The galra will be back mid day to do another role call."

"We need to plan quickly." Keith says looking at the rest of us.

"Paladins a galra cargo ship just left the planet. I'm not sure where it's heading." Allura says. Marnie looks eagerly at us hearing Allura's message.

"My brother is aboard that ship. Along with others. Is there anyway we can save them?" Marine asks. Her innocent emerald eyes glittering with hope.

"Allura, go after that ship and see if you can find where they are being taken." Keith orders.

"Keith, without the castle you won't have any cover if anything were to happen. Are you sure?" Allura says carefully.

"Yes. I'm sure. We need to help these people in anyway we can." He replies. "Okay now we need a plan to get the rest of the Terrans out of here. Marnie, why was the force field down when we came?"

"There must have been a glitch in the system, otherwise it's always up." She frowns.

"How long until mid day?" I ask.

"About two vargas." I nod. That gives us two hours to get hundreds of people out of here. We're screwed. Plus we're trapped. We move apart from the Terrans.

"I can try to hack into the force field system. If it's anything like the castle's
I should be able to get it down for awhile." Keith nods and I blast off to the top of the ring. There is a two foot gap between the force field and the wall. Between it, the generator. That's weird, why wouldn't they put the generator on the outside of the force field, or somewhere hidden. Hmm. I break open the control box, Earth tech!?

"Guys. Something's weird, this maybe a trap." I say.

"What's wrong?" Hunk asks.

"Something's off about the set up of this force field. Tech stuff, you wouldn't get it, do you still want me to keep going?"

"Yes, innocent until proven guilty."

"I'm not sure that rule applies in space ." I say back frowning. "Okay I can disable this for a few minutes or I can destroy it completely removing the force field. But unless we have a way to get all these people out fast, we can't all carry them over one by one. We'll never make it."

"Paladins, they took the Terrans to another planet in the solar system. I think they are having them locate materials. It looks like there are about twenty prisoners." Then it hits me.

"Allura, Keith. I have a plan."
