[Shiro manages to form the mental picture in his mind of a vague idea of what she's talking about. Five ships built to look like lions that - somehow - combine to form a larger ship that's... frankly huge sounding from what little of the vastness of the castle he managed to see when being brought here. Even so - its hard to imagine that whatever Voltron is somehow is more frightening or dangerous than a Galra battle cruiser since even at a quarter height Voltron would still be smaller than one of those.

Better fire power or weaponry, better maneuverability perhaps. He can guess but the point is that the Galra obviously think its a game changer and, whether it makes sense to him at the moment or not, Shiro is willing to trust that impression if his enemy feels that way about it.

Whatever the Galra fear - Shiro wants to be a part of.

But her question has him shaking his head in frustration and the barely there smile he offers her is painful instead of wry.]

We don't get a lot of gossip, down in the gladiator pits. I've heard that Zarkon is searching for it, ripping planets open to find it. I've heard that he already has it.

Haggar. [The name comes out and he tries to keep from growling it, but some of the hatred seeps out all the same. You'll be our greatest weapon... It hurts. Has him shutting his eyes against the stab of pain through his skull but he chases it all the same.] She's trying to make weapons. Like Voltron? Or - for Voltron... I don't remember. That was the first time I heard the name though. With her.
