So, [He starts and he silently adds Lotor to the list of people he'll need to have a long discussion with should they ever show up here.] Should he show up here, we'll either be dealing with an enemy or an ally.

[He believes Hunk. Who he's not sure of is Lotor. But...he killed his own father. That is a level of dedication to a cause is undeniable. He feels uneasy about it. He'll have to see the man for himself and judge based on his actions.] Whether I trust him or not will depend on what I see. I do believe you, but this world isn't ours. He could change his mind here. We'll see.

[Zarkon is a power hungry tyrant with an obsession over the Black Lion. He pushes away from the wall. He won't need it at his back and this is more like a debriefing by now.] Thank you for telling me all this. I have a clearer picture of the state of the Empire and our team. Can you tell me about the state of the rest of the universe?

With Zarkon down and Lotor in power, that has to have caused wide sweeping changes. And a power vacuum that needs filled.
