[and another breath. she's going to keep pushing herself, even if the wounds are still fresh. even if it's still hard]
So, like-- before Adora and I came here, I was. . . part of an alien army, I guess. I fought with the Horde to take over the planet, and somehow got beamed up onto the space ship of the big head honcho in charge.

He had the power to chip people. To put microchips in their necks and control their minds. They'd. . . uh. You know. . . they wouldn't be themselves.
It was like. . . having a piece of him inserted into their brains.
[ah.... viola listens and - she hears the way that it's all spoken in third person. it must be such a raw wound. her brow furrows, frustrated over something that she had no control over, but something that clearly hurt catra deeply.]
.... they didn't deserve that. They never should've had to endure something so cruel.
[she isn't the type to dismiss an option out of hand just for pride, but also. . . her lack of trust is definitely playing a part in her hesitancy, here]

Don't-- like, don't tell anyone, okay? I doubt I need to really ask you that, but. . .
