 Sam? No matter what happens, keep scratching those records. It's the only thing holding that ghost pirate ship off from us. 

If you need me, I'll be breaking into Mom and Dad's weapons vault and trying to figure out where Dad left the secret emergency release for the op center.

[ By now, Lance has gotten used to this weird chatter coming in off his comm unit. And he actually recognizes this voice as one he talked to too. ]

Ghost pirate ship? What the heck have you gotten into?

[schrodingersghost]

Oh man, wrong number again?

[Danny sighs.]

Okay, really wrong story. But the short version is that every adult in town, plus my sister who thinks she's an adult, have all been kidnapped by ghost pirates. Apparently, as the only kid left who knows anything about fighting ghosts, I'm now in charge of leading the rescue.

[blue_paladin]

Dude, I don't even have a number. Unless it's something like 1-800-BLU-LION. I'm pretty sure my cell phone doesn't work, considering that we're galaxies away from Earth and-- I never thought to try it again since all this craziness started going on. Maybe I should!

[ Wait. They were talking about something important, weren't they...? OH YEAH. ]

... okay, that sounds intense. Good luck? I'd offer tips, but uh... the last time I thought it was ghosts trying to kill me, it was just the ship instead.

[schrodingersghost]

I guess anything is worth a try. Can I just say again how cool it is that you're in space?

...Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's ghost pirates this time. They're really not being subtle about it at all. You know, what with the flying ghost pirate ship attacking my house.

[blue_paladin]

If I could totally get you here, I would. As long as you promise not to try and steal Blue, I'd even take you out on a joyride.

[ Because, let's face it, Lance is a bit of a show-off. Blue can be too. ]

... this sounds like a reacquiring experience.

[schrodingersghost]

Awesome. I'll keep that in mind, if I ever figure a way over there.

Uh, reacquiring?

Because his mun is an idiot with typoes.

[blue_paladin]

Re-occurring!

[ There's a bit of an embarrassed laugh. ]

Sorry, got distracted blasting aliens.

[schrodingersghost]

Oh, right. Why do you think it's re-occuring?

[blue_paladin]

'This time'? That sorta implies you've done it before, kiddo.

[schrodingersghost]

Well, not this specifically. Usually Mom and Dad are around to take care of the ghosts. Its kind of their job. [Even if he did it for them most of the time. ]

But I have to admit the ghost pirates are new.

[blue_paladin]

So what? You're parents are like ghostbusters or something?

[schrodingersghost]

Professional ghost scientists and inventors.

[blue_paladin]

.... dude, how did they get that sort of job?

[schrodingersghost]

Apparently the University of Wisconsin has a doctoral program in paranormal science.

....Yeah, I don't know how that got approved either.

[blue_paladin]

.... huh.

That actually sounds kinda cool. Not as cool as going to school to be a fighter pilot in space, but still cool.

[schrodingersghost]

Actually, up until this year my entire city thought they were crackpots.

[blue_paladin]

Yeah, pretty sure if I went home right now and told everyone what was going on, they'd think the same thing. I mean, the Garrison pretty much sedated Shiro when he tried to tell them about the Galra, so.

[schrodingersghost]

Word of advice? Don't tell. Some people just can't take this level of weirdness.

[blue_paladin]

You're probably right. I don't think my family would believe me unless I paraded Blue in front of them.

[schrodingersghost]

Who's Blue, again?

[blue_paladin]

She's the robot lion I pilot. The alien war ship.
