This is Julius Visconti reporting in. It's been so long since I last spoke up. I figured that I should say something in case anyone was worrying. There's nothing wrong on on my end, thankfully. [He just went out for five months straight...on a mission he didn't even enjoy all that much.]

Anyways, let's move on. [Enough about that!!]

Today I'd like to ask about weapons. In your opinion, what's the most efficient and effective weapon?

Personally I prefer using assault guns for ranged attacks. We all come from different places so I expect to hear unique answers.

Alternatively, if you aren't armed with a weapon and wish to learn how to fight I could be of some assistance. You can meet up with me at the local trading post. That's all for now. Thanks for your time.

Makes you wonder why the lions appeared at different locations instead of them being all in the same place.

You'll find the answers you need in time. I'm certain of it.

[secondnature]

I think I know that part—they were hidden so our enemies couldn't find them. The really curious part is how they knew to hide them in time, but ... it's not like we're about to find that out here.

Either way ... I think anyone would agree that ALASTAIR would be better off for having lions.

[viscontree]

Most of us would agree. Having something that strong would benefit us in many ways. [He nods.]

Do these lions have any weakness? [Realistically speaking there's no such thing as being invincible. ]

[secondnature]

I think so—a lot of us are inexperienced pilots, so sometimes the lions have to pick up the slack. [He's not one of them, but he knows Hunk and Pidge never thought they'd be in charge of actually flying anything.]

So, it's pretty easy to overwhelm them, especially if they haven't come together to form Voltron. A lot of us are also new to the lion thing, and working together, so there's a bit of that.

Uh, I guess that's more of a weakness in the pilots? But it does matter. They aren't unbreakable robots, even if I wish they were.

[viscontree]

That makes sense. A robot is only as good as the pilot inside of it. Do you think it's difficult to fight under those conditions?

Robot or not, you're still risking yourself out there. [And not everyone can easily put their life on the line. He wonders how Keith manages to do it.]

[secondnature]

Of course it's difficult. But that doesn't mean that we're just going to quit.

Too many people need us out there. The universe had gone without Voltron for ten thousand years, and a lot got messed up in its absence.

[viscontree]

You're right. Everyone's got to do their part even if it's not easy.

We'd better get you back to your world as soon as possible. The people there need you.

[This Voltron business sounds really serious!]

[secondnature]

Honestly ... I don't know why ALASTAIR isn't looking at my universe.

It needs a lot of help.

[viscontree]

There's always a chance we might be sent there. It's slim, but entirely possible.

I want to help out your world too if possible. We shouldn't leave it as it is.

[secondnature]

I agree.

I just hope their weird ... machine doesn't say differently. [He thinks that's how it works??? He's still new to this stuff, even if it's been a few months.]

[viscontree]

Weird machine? We might not know all the details involved, sure.

Strange contraptions could possibly be behind this. Do you think that's the case?

[Why else would he say that??? ]

[secondnature]

Well ... there's that room. With the door.

[This not helpful at all.]

[viscontree]

[No it's not. He's only getting confused .]

You're going to have to be more specific. Was there anything else there you saw?

[secondnature]

[To Keith's credit, he takes a second to actually remember the exact name of the room—]

The mechanical room!

[viscontree]

The machine room, right. I've heard of that place.

Did you forget what it was called the first time? [A serious question!!]

[secondnature]

I found the room before I knew its name, [he says, a bit sheepish.]
