[BEEP]

Damn it Pidge wake up! This is really not the time for you to be dozing in bed! I woke up in a pool of water and-

You know what just call me back!

[lonewolflion]

PIDGE

[lonewolflion]

PIDGE LOOK AT YOUR PHONE

[lonewolflion]

PIDGE I'M STUCK IN A CAGE WITH ALLURA AND SOME OTHER LADY OVER THE OCEAN AND IT'S RAINING AND I'M COLD.

[lonewolflion]

I think I see Lance in one of the other cages.

PIDGE PICK UP YOUR PHONE.

1/2

[bliptech]

Calm your quiznack, Keith. I'm stuck in this mess, too.

[bliptech]

Wait, Lance? ... ALLURA?!

[lonewolflion]

Yes, Allura's here with me but I think I see Lance in some other cage.

[bliptech]

Well great!

We finally find more of our team and now we get to die!

Yeah, yeah, I know we'll come back but I sure as hell didn't want to add drowning to my list of dumb ways to go out.

[lonewolflion]

We're not going to die, Pidge.

You're smart.

I know we have some riddle and what ever you guys have I'm sure you'll figure it out.

[bliptech]

A slide puzzle.

A slide puzzle that currently has a very disinterested, smelly barbarian looking guy sitting on part of it.

I'm not saying I won't try.

I'm just saying I might try and still wind up in a very cold, wet, temporary grave.

[lonewolflion]

Damn it Pidge.

[bliptech]

I said I'd TRY! I'm not making promises I can't keep, okay?!

[lonewolflion]

Alright alright! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that, sheesh.

Look I'll just let you figure out your puzzle, and I'll see what the others on the outside think about our stupid riddle.

Focus, I know you can do it okay?

You're like the smartest one on team Voltron, you've got this.

[Voice] [After supplies are delivered.]

[freedom_engineer]

Hey.

Pidge. How're you holding together?

[Voice]

[bliptech]

[The supplies were helpful, but by the time they arrived Pidge was already soaked through two layers of hoodies and the rest of her clothes. She really wasn't insulated for cold like Hunk was, and it was showing even as she continued to force the slide puzzle in to it's right places. Answering comes with the sound of rain, wind, and coughing.] Been better...

[bliptech]

I'm not I'm not mad at you I'm just mad that this happened. ill do m,y best though ok i reall will

[freedom_engineer]

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you all got your rain break up?

[bliptech]

Yeah. 'malready soaked, though. [coughwheeze] My hands are almost completely numb b-but I'm still [thud, phone dropped] Shit! [It takes her a second to get a grip on it again, and it's sopping wet but thankfully still functional.] Don't... tell Shiro I said that. Anyway, I'm still trying to finish this Galra-blasted slide puzzle.

[freedom_engineer]

Listen Pidge, there's four of you in there.

If you all haven't already decided on this... Take a break, do it in cycles.

You need to get out of your clothes and get under a blanket for a while if you don't want to feel even worse. If your hands are numb, you need heat. You need carbs to get your body heat moving, and you need to dry off as much as possible.

[bliptech]

[There's a quiet hesitation, punctuated by the howling wind behind her.

She knows Sans is smart, but he's also fielding all the calls. Rob is still... not doing great (but thankfully didn't get 50,000 volts from her) and Marcus is smart but he already admitted he wouldn't be able to do the puzzle quickly.

At this point though, she's not exactly speeding through those parts either.]

Okay.

... do I really have to take my clothes off, though?

[There was a reason she hacked the system to get a single room at the Garrison.]

[freedom_engineer]

You will suffer hypothermia five times faster in wet clothes. Water conducts heat out of you. The faster you get dryer, the faster your body can get back to the important stuff, like solving that puzzle.

Tell them to look away, doff your clothes, and get under a blanket. You'll be able to worry about modesty a lot more if you're not delirious from heat loss.

And tells Sans that Colin's telling him to give you a hand while you dry off and fuel up. He's reliable with the right prodding.

[bliptech]

[She mutters something under her breath that isn't caught by the microphone thanks to the wind. She's far more concerned about drowning (that ocean sure is closer than it was at the start of this) but she won't argue with him. Thankfully the binder she'd been using since she enrolled in to the Garrison is still with her. It's wet, too, but it'll keep something covered.] ... what's going to happen if we can't figure this out?

[freedom_engineer]

You want me to sugar coat it, or you want the truth?

[Pidge. Pidge, plz.]

[bliptech]

[She tries to take a deep breath, but it just spurs a coughing fit. A short one, thankfully.]

Keith and Shiro... and everyone else [Now that she knows the others have arrived] would probably flip if they heard me say this but.

Being a part of Team Voltron means there is a very real possibility we could die. We're strong as a team but we're not invincible.

Keith... came back from being killed by that shadow version of himself. I don't know what it's doing to him, but he's alive.

That's more than we can ask for when we're out in the universe fighting Galra.

[That's Pidge speak for "don't treat me like a child, Colin".]
