[ James has propped up the PokéGear with a lot of care to sit steadily on top of something and film James from the shoulders up. He's facing the camera with a serious and dutiful expression. It probably looks a little like he's a youtuber.... or like he's on a military skype conference. Either works. ]

This is Lieutenant James Griffin of the Galaxy Garrison.

I'll be skipping past the 'I have found myself in a strange situation' since I assume that's a regular occurrence for this place, but I do still have a lot of questions.

What's the identity of this woman in New Bark Town who introduced herself as, and I quote, "your mom, silly", and now steadfastly refuses to open the door for me again?

And what's with the music playing? Where is it coming from?

Also--- [ And that's where he's cut off by a pounce from a Lillipup that decided it has had enough of being ignored. James turns towards it. ] Hey, wait a moment, alright? I'm not done here! Don't give me that look....

[ Defeated, he picks up Lillipup and holds it in his arms, scritching its head as he turns back towards the camera. ]

Also I'd love to obtain a vehicle at some point. I'm willing to work for it.

Griffin, signing off.

Ohhh....

[That actually makes her think it over a bit.]

They sound really different from the aliens in my world. There were eggs on the moon for a really, really long time until the Company sent m- people to find them. Then they hatched, got really big and attacked and killed everyone, really, really fast. They're like monsters. They only use people to make more of themselves.

Do you still have people fighting against your aliens?

[She hopes they don't die as much as the marines did.]

You're looking at one.

[ He straightens his back and all, he's very proud of that fact. Internally though, he's screaming. Whatever aliens this girl dealt with are definitely the worst. He's never considered that he should be grateful for what the Galra are, but.... wow. ]

I was one of the people defending the last stronghold on Earth before I got brought here.

[Oh! You're like a marine. Newt nods seriously.]

I really hope you don't die.

[She's...trying to have hope. It just usually gets wrapped up in her mindset of all you can hope for is survival.]

Why do the aliens even want you guys in their Empire?

[Yeah, Xenomorphs are like. Hey there's free bodies/real estate here vs a long term plan of domination and enslavement.]

The people who are the biggest threat to the empire come from our planet. They're hoping to lure them in by hurting their home.

[ Which... sucks, but like, what doesn't. It also sucks when an 8 year old tells you not to die, really. ]

But they don't want to kill everyone?

[See, this is the idea she's having trouble understanding.]

I... actually don't know. We're bait for Voltron, but whatever they want to do with us after they captured it.... No idea.

I don't think I want to find out.

That's we-

[Wait! She knows that word. She's spent enough time living in a house full of those guys to know the world Voltron.]

...Are you from Shiro's world?

... huh?

[ Whatever James expected, it wasn't this. Absolutely not this. He blinks. ]

Lieutenant Takashi Shirogane? Yes.
