Meanwhile, Shiro is locked up in the containment cell not too far away. Hands bound and a new cuff on his arm, he just stares at the floor. He's felt helpless before, but this is more intense then anything he's felt in a long time. 

Who knows what they're doing to Pidge right now. I've got to help her.  

He stands up and starts to throw himself into the wall in order to break off the cuff on his arm. 

After a few attempts of this, a guard walks into the cell and takes him down the hallway. He enters a room full of Galra and sharp needles. His brain recognizes this room and realizes that it is the surgery room from a few years ago when he was first captured on the Kerberos mission. This is where they took his arm.       

Shiro's immediate reaction is to run, but they hold him down and get him onto a metal table, where they cuff his hands and feet. 

"Let go of me!" Shiro yells as he struggles. He knows that they won't listen to him. 

"Stop! No! What do you- Aaagh!" 

One Galra stabs a shot into his thigh and he slowly loses consciousness. They test his mechanical arm and its endurance to make their weapons stronger. 

During this, Pidge has been taken to a containment cell and wakes up right as a Galra shoves a long needle with yellow liquid into her. She groans from the pain and all the color, or at least any color left, drains from her face. 

What is that stuff? It feels like fire. What if it turns me into a Galra?  

She begins to panic and struggles against the grip of the guard. 

"Stop moving," he growls. "This is the only thing keeping you alive right now." Pidge stops in surprise. Why are they keeping her alive? She is too tired to think of any reasons, so she just goes limp and watches the guard leave the cell. 

She really can't move at this point, which doesn't help when she tries to think up an escape plan, and her mind quickly turns to Matt and her parents. She has to go back to them. She can't leave them. Not like how Matt left her all those years ago on the Kerberos mission. The Galra can't tear her family apart again. 

Pidge fights to keep her eyes open, even though she wants nothing more than to fall asleep, and looks around the room, observing everything. There isn't much to see, just purple lights and walls, but she has to get out. She just has to.
