Voltron Next Generation

Razor 7

As we approached the first ship I heard Lance say "This doesn't look so good, Mr. Stark."

I didn't understand the reference, but Keith took it upon himself to swat at his husband.

However, it was very true that the ship didn't look so good, piece of sh*t would actually be more accurate. At first looking at it I was kind of proud that we had been the ones to cause all this damage, but then Hunk said something unexpected,

"This ship was in rough shape before Voltron took a swing at it." Hunk got closer and inspected a part of the hull where the outside panel had been stripped away and the internal wires were exposed. "This wiring is fried, like slow cooked in a supernova, or a red sun. It's a wonder of engineering that this could have been operational. This level of damage couldn't have been done by Voltron in that short battle."

Pidge added on immediately after, "A quick scan is telling me that this was one of the headships for a mission called Razor 7, deployed from planet Ulto about 500 years ago. They were reported MIA about 3 months after launch when communications and trackings completely vanished between the 4 ships on the mission and Ulto."

"Then how are they here now?" Keith asked, sharing a look with Shiro.

"Guess we'll have to find out." Shiro lead us around the ship and into a bay door. "Do we have any other information on Razor 7?"

"Checking on that now," Coran said over the comms, he was back at the castle with my brother, "Ok, so the mission was investigative, Ulto had received strange readings from a deep space satellite and sent Razor 7 to intercept the cause. Unfortunately, I can't figure out what the readings were, there's nothing that explicitly says what it was."

"Can we establish a communications link with Ulto?" Allura asked.

"No... the planet Ulto blew up, something seemed to have sped up the decay of their red sun, the planet is long gone, as of 500 years ago."

His words sat heavily on the group.

"Can we get schematics on the ship? So far we're kind of lost, and not finding anything." Matt asked.

"I've tried that, I can't find anything."

"Great." Shiro murmured, Allura put a hand on his arm and turned to address the group.

"Well, since we have so many here, we should split up, no fewer than pairs of two. Stay on the comms and report anything strange. And try to keep track of where you are." Allura said, taking her husband's arm.

The group began to split off and I followed my team, the 5 of us kept down a corridor until it split off into three ways.

"Well, if only there were 6 of us," Kairos said, glancing between the three directions.

"We probably should have split evenly back there, because the other half of our group is also uneven." I recounted, sharing a look with my team.

"I can go by myself," I said, the exact same time as Kairos.

We looked at each other.

"Wow, that was creepy," Kaeza laughed.

"Here," Jake said, looking analytically at the three paths, "You two can go on the far right, and the three of us will go through the left, and then if either of us find anything we'll report it to the comms, or we'll come back here and then go down the middle together."

"Yeah that's reasonable, wait I get the group of three right?" Py asked, fidgeting with his bayard.

"Yeah, big guy, nothing to worry about," Kaeza said, summoning her trident from her bayard, making glowing blue shadows on the wall.
