--ome in! Anyone!

[Yikes, man, tone down the yelling. The voice is frantic. Rightfully so, considering the last thing he remembered was being ejected into space. This is not the planet he thought he'd wind up on. There are humans here, and it looks like Earth.]

[But there's weird animals here. And no one seems concerned about a yelling, very upset man who just appeared out of nowhere.]

I don't know what's happened! I -- I need pickup, immediately!

[Yeah, he maybe only half listened to the explanations, but seriously, things were bad a minute ago.]

Pidge! Coran! [And then, almost grudgingly:] Lance -- someone pick up! This is Shiro and something's gone wrong! I don't know where I am -- I don't know what's happened, but I need someone to answer me now!



[Give him a few minutes to calm down. To pace and refocus himself. To listen and read up on the situation. Anyone who happens by the area sometime after the basically panicked broadcast can find him in New Bark Town. Under a tree, just...]

[What is he supposed to do now?]

[There's an Aron huddled up by his leg, but he doesn't seem to pay it much attention, right now.]

Comments

[usedlightscreen]

Right.

[He doesn't bother to add that he's only heard that's the case. After all, reassurance would ring a little hollow coming from someone who it hadn't and couldn't happen to.]

Just to warn you, if anyone else from your team does come here, they may have different memories than you do. Both of my partners were brought from different points in time than I was - one of them much different.

[shiro2hero]

Different points in time?

[Wow, that would complicate things. Like having to explain what they'd missed, if they asked.]

[He doesn't know if he'd have it in him not to tell them.]

How is that even possible?

[usedlightscreen]

I'm not entirely sure. But think of this like some kind of nexus. Whatever or whoever brings us here can draw anyone from any time. One of my partners came from helping to liberate a small planet colony.

[He allows himself to sound proud of her. Braggin on his fierce wildfire of a girlfriend.]

My other partner and I both came from the, uh. The...end of our timelines.

[shiro2hero]

An entire planet colony? Of humans?

[He's a little more blown away by the prospect of humans making colonies on other worlds. It sounds fantastic -- ]

[You know. If not for the Galra.]

Must be nice to have your whole team here. Timelines or not.

[SHIRO THAT'S NOT WHAT THE NICE MAN MEANS BY 'PARTNERS'.]

[usedlightscreen]

There used to be a lot more, but the war cut off quite a few and...destroyed some others. I think the biggest one that's still active is probably the moon colony.

[North says it like it's the most mundane thing in the universe. Just manifest destiny at its finest.]

...It is. I don't think I'd have made it this long without them, honestly. I hope your team shows up too.
