A crackling sound accompanied by a low whine interrupted the silence of the dark corridor. A pair of eyes glanced back and forth, making sure they weren't followed before clearing their throat. "Sendak?"

There came no answer, yet the person continued speaking over the communication device held in their hand, obviously not of Earthly design, the purple claws wrapping around the device while a pair of yellow eyes looked down.

"I'm reporting in regarding the information I've found out. Specifically, the humans have indeed found the Castle of Lions and Voltron, but they're having the Castle of Lions relocate to the human base of operations. As such, there will not be much, if any time for you to get to the Castle of Lions before that."

"Despite this, I do have personal knowledge that the newest paladins for Voltron are mostly children, a bunch of misfits via Earth standards. One of them isn't even a member of the base, but they're transferring in. As such, I do not believe we will have much trouble regarding the addition of Voltron if and when you decide to make your move, but I await further orders. Haxus out."

A purple finger pushed a button, turning the communication device off, before reaching for another button which put a hologram up, making him look Human rather than Galra. A sound made him look up before he headed towards the sound, one of his eyebrows shooting up. He turned the corner, catching sight of two cadets attempting to sneak off somewhere. He recognized one as the rather large paladin chosen by the yellow lion.

The other seemed insignificant.

He let his arms across his chest. "What are you two doing out of bed?"

"Uh... nothing."

"We didn't see anything!" Hunk blurted out.

"Excuse me?" Haxus wondered if they'd seen him turn off the hologram, let alone send the message.

"He means we're not the ones who messed with the lighting in the hall."

Haxus turned his head, looking at the hallway lights knowing full well he was the one who messed with the lights. "I see. That doesn't change the fact you are both out of bed at night."

"I told you we'd get in trouble Lance!"

"You're the one who said he was hungry!"

Haxus filed that bit of information away, fighting back the instinct to kill the enemy knowing full well his job was infiltration.
