It had been weeks since Team Voltron's encounter with Sendak. And almost every night, Keith would have the same dream. He dreamt of the one eye he saw behind the masked figure's mask. It was unlike anything he had ever seen. His eye was this bright turquoise color. But the weirdest part of it, was the pupil. His pupil was white, and faded out.

It scared him. Not so much the eye itself, but the look the masked figure gave Keith. It was this cold, raw, hatred. It sent a shiver down his spine every time he thought about it, and had him wake up drenched in sweat, breathing hard, every night. He thought of the eye for so long, he couldn't even think of anything else about the masked figure. He couldn't even remember the mask he was wearing. If it weren't for the name, Keith won't know that the masked figure even had a mask. That's how much this eye scared him. It was all he could think about. Not that he would tell a soul. No one even knew that Keith had broken the masked figure's mask.

Keith got out of bed and made his way to the bridge. Once everyone arrived, Pidge started going through Sendak's memories. She eventually came across a Galactic Hub. However, when Coran pulled it up, there was nothing there. They decided to check it out themselves. Once everyone landed safely, thanks to Pidge's upgrade to the Green Lion, they went to the command center, knocking out all the guards. Keith kept watch.

"How's it look out there?" Shiro asked.

"All clear," Keith responded.

"This shouldn't take long," Hunk said, and he hooked up Pidge's computer to the system.

"We'll have all the information we need in a few minutes. Hunk and I have made some improvements since the last time I tried to download Galra info. We should get a nice clean translation immediately. Hunk had a great idea about how to do it," Pidge reported.

"Yeah, yeah. Do you guys remember when we studied algorithms at the Garrison, and Mr. York told us that joke about the ghost learning symbolic logic and innumerably infinite sets?" Hunk said.

"Boring!" Lance complained.

"Yeah, right, tollatly, it was boring. Anyway the joke goes–" Hunk began. Lance just groans loudly.

"Hey, guys, sorry to interrupt, but I think we got company," Keith interrupted. Everyone got down as a large shadow of a ship came over them. "Think we should get out of here?"

"We just need a few more seconds," Pidge replied.

"Stay low. We need this intel," said Shiro. Suddenly the control panel started beeping, and a screen with a Galra soldier popped up.

"Get down!" Keith commanded. Everyone hid underneath the tables. The poor soldier looked very confused not seeing anyone.

"He's still looking. I think he's waiting for a signal or something," Lance whispered.

"I got it," Hunk said, crawling with a destroyed sentry to the middle. Hunk used basic sign language to tell the Galra soldier that he was good to go. He still looked confused, but didn't say anything. He then left. Everyone let out a sigh.
