Solo missions are typically easy but most of the time it's never for a good reason, it usually meant someone had to explore a deserted galra base, look for supplies they're low on, or explore a small deserted planet for any survivors who lived against the galra, by luck, survival instinct, or simply the will to live, someone had to check.

Sadly this one is to look for any survivors, this planet was pretty small so they didn't need any more than one. The galra attack was pretty recent and they were too late to save the planet before it got destroyed by their clutches. Though still pretty intact it's still considered a dead planet at this point.

The one sent out to explore this planet was Keith, his lion would be the fastest to arrive and go back to the castle before a weblum comes and eats any of them, the planet, Keith, or both.

Keith landed and began to search for any survivors, casting his light against the dust and fog that layered the planet's surface, he called out to anyone, searching for any sign of a survivor, more preferably survivors.

"H-help." A weak voice called out, he ran to the source, a house with half of it destroyed layed someone and his eyes widened at the sight, it was an altean. A woman, probably in her mid twenties with a large gaping wound in her abdomen held something close to her chest that was covered in a cloth.

"Ma'am I'm a paladin of Voltron don't worry I'm here to help." He said doing his best to sound steady, he couldn't believe there was another altean, though he always had his suspicions that all altean couldn't have gone extinct, they have teleduvs they could easy travel to different planets.

"It's too late to save me," she coughed, "please, take care of her, she's my whole world." She said, extending with shaking arms the thing she desperately wanted to survive, with hesitant hands he took the bundled up thing, to see it was an altean baby. "Her name is,Felicity." She says, he arms dropped to her side, on her last breaths, "she's... she's part altean... part galra." And with that she was gone. Giving whatever information she could spare to save her child. Keith looked at her shocked, he spared a glance at the baby when it started whimpering, he guessed she could sense their mother was gone, and as if a sixth sense was opened, he gently bounced them in his arms, shushing her silently as he calmed the baby. The baby stopped whimpering and looked at him and giggled as they extended their tiny hand towards his face, something opened up in him and he smiled at the baby, he let them take his finger as he stood up from the ground and walked away from the passed mother, swearing to protect their child.

He searched for any remaining survivors around the planet to find none,it seemed like Felicity was lucky to survive, not so lucky to be the only survivor.

When he arrived at red and set a course to the castle did the weight of the new found responsibility and information rest on him. He just agreed to foster a baby without knowing anything about babies from someone who's now dead during a war and he's on the front lines.

Well shit.

He probably was starting to have a panic attack when a tiny cry caught him off guard, he looked at felicity and took in deep breaths, right, he had this little one to take care of, now was not the time to panic, he hummed a little enough to put the child back to sleep. He should probably ask coran to give her a check up when he arrives back at the castle.

He took a closer look at the child, she seemed a little dirty with dirt on her hair that seemed to be purple, she had blue altean marks under her eyes just like Allura and Coran along in different parts of her body that were visible, she definitely had the pointy altean ears and he noticed little patches of purple is some areas of her body, he's not sure if they're bruises or parts of her galra lineage showing but he hopes it's the last one.
