The one who approaches Romelle after her being forced into the Pit of Skulls is a young, wild-eyed man who warns her of the approaching guards that come down to ensure she is finished, and helps her into a passageway through a cave but then vehemently bids her leave him. She is able to identify him as Sven, but the former pilot of the Blue Lion has lost his faith in himself, feeling remorse over his defeat by Haggar and his inability to aid Planet Ebb when it was attacked when he was hospitalized, and is nearly mad with grief after witnessing so many brutalities every day. Romelle tries to convince Sven to help her get off Doom and contact the Voltron Force so she can return to and defend Pollux as only she knows how, with the help of a group of slaves who are desperate for their own freedom and could be what they need to help them escape...
