Allura's P.O.V
I sighed. "I loved the smell of the mountain juniberries in the early morning breeze." I said.
"As did I, Allura." Father said to me.
The mice were stirring my drink.
"Remember the summer berry festival? People would come from all over Altea for the harvest." I asked. "I remember how the berry juice stained your favorite dress. You were so upset." Father replied. I laughed. "It took forever for Mother to calm me. I miss Altea so much. I miss you, Father. I wish it didn't have to be this way." I said, with a slight frown. "I know, Allura, but as leaders, we have to do what's right for our people, even if it means great sacrifice." He told me.

"I know, Father. That's what you always say." I exclaimed.

The door opened, I turned my head it was Coran. "Princess, there you are. What are you doing up and about? You should be resting." He said, walking up to me.

"Oh, Coran, can't I stay?" I asked, looking at him.

"The Balmera rejuvenation ceremony took a lot out of you. Come along, to your room." Coran said, helping me up.

"Get your rest, darling. I will be here for you when you're well." Father said, making me look at him.

"I love you, Father. I'll see you soon." I said, walking away with Coran.

My P.O.V
Pidge and I were typing away on our computers, doing research. Even though I was completely exhausted from what happened on the Balmera. I still can't believe the ceremony worked with me in it...I'm not even Altean. But, it must've been from my powers that made it work. "Pidge, Mattisen, please come down to the detainment room." Coran said, on the loudspeaker. Pidge and I looked up away from our computers and groan, walking to the detainment room.

When we get to the detainment room.
Sendak was frozen in a cryo-pod, looking slightly peaceful...

Coran put on an electronic device on the cryo-pod, as it began beeping.

"Okay, guys, Sendak's almost all hooked up." Coran said, walking over to something connected to the cryo-pod and a holographic screen appeared. "But, look, I have to warn you, this technology was used to keep Altean memories alive, not to interrogate prisoners."

"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." Shiro said, trying to reason with Coran.

"Yeah, and then we can just be like, "Knock-knock." "Who's there?" "The avenging fury of Voltron, son!" Lance said, knocking on Hunk's head and then doing a weird hand motion.

"Fascinating. So, how exactly does this work?" Pidge asked nose pressed up against the glass as she looked at everything in curiosity then, looking up at Coran.

"As the memories are extracted, they're written bit by bit on individual molecules of the micro-storage strands." Coran explained, still typing away on the holographic screen.

"When I go, I want all the stuff in my brain stored in a giant ship." Lance said with a dreamy tone in his voice.

"The amount of information in your brain could be stored in a paper airplane." Keith said, in a sarcastic way.

I burst into a short laugh. Keith and Lance looked my way and I stopped as soon as they looked my way.

"Oh, yeah? Well, the amount of information you have, Keith, could be..." Lance said, trying to come up with something good.

"Yeah?" Keith replied, waiting for Lance to say something.

"Uh...it's less than what I have!" Lance said, crossing his arms with a smug look on his face.
