1-#-1 \\station 72, pre-mission, get up\\ [contains spoilers]
[Keith opens his eyes for the first time in what might be forever. His heart pounds in his chest as he blinks away the excess slime coating his lids. For someone who chose to be here, who chose to give his life, there's a resounding sense of defeat, disappointment.
Sliding from the pod is easy enough; the slime provides more than enough lubricant to keep his hood from catching. Facing the reality he now serves, though, weighs him down. Leaving in the middle of a fight, not knowing if his sacrifice did anything, drags down his soul, slows his feet as he stumbles towards what he hopes is a shower of some kind to wash himself off.
He gave up everything leaving the paladins, and now again. What is he supposed to do?]
3-3-6 \\sceptre-ghost-explore\\
[After a month on the station, his bones have lightened, his spirit lifted, and purpose renewed. They, as the Nest, have missions, to save innocents from the Enemy, just like Voltron and the Blades. That and he can work with Shiro and Pidge again, without needing to try and lead or be something he isn't. Instead of necessary friends-come-family, they have become his hubs to the rest of the Nest, his shelters, his true family among the spread of acquaintances.
The Sceptre lives up to its name, but in visuals only. For all its grandeur, there seems to be no one home. Cathaway wouldn't send them down to an abandoned planet for no reason, would she? Or maybe it's a data mining operation, but that didn't sound like the case. It sounded like some kind of rescue operation, but no one exists to rescue.
So, for now, he and a team have set to exploring some of the lower levels that don't glimmer as brightly, that perhaps hold more secrets in the dark.]
