"That's not how things work for us, unfortunately. We had to learn how to connect to each other to connect to the Morphin Grid and earn our armor. The grid doesn't just open to anyone."
Kim gave a nod towards the platforms in the middle of the control room, five spots. One of each ranger.
Trini opened her mouth to comment then stopped and frowned. Something didn't make sense. She let go of Kim's hand to walk around the platforms in a wide circle. Something was off about them something was..... Oh.
"You said you don't know Tommy yet. So Kim, Trini, Billy, Jason, and Zack?" she asked, to be sure. She looked up at Zordon. "And Rita used to be a Ranger, and still has her power coin?"
Kim watched, quiet, leaning back against the side of the steps.
"That is correct, Rita was a ranger." He seemed to understand, at least part, of what she was getting at. "You're noting the number of pedestals. The green coin and another ranger, was unexpected, even for my team."
"But for a time she somehow worked with you? Where was her pedestal? Maybe it could be used to help Tommy. He's the Green Ranger on our team, but Rita and Goldar managed to corrupt his power. If using her place here could fix it...."
"Rita was my friend. She and the green power coin were unique in that they were outliers, unexpected and unprepared for. Though perhaps, if her coin is recovered, we can use its link to the Morphin Grid to correct your own green rangers powers."
It was worth a shot, the trouble was just in finding Rita or her coin now. And getting her to relinquish it.
"Shouldn't be too hard. I mean, two ranger teams? We can just make it a straight on assault against her, she wouldn't stand a chance." Kim crossed her arms, confident. Maybe too confident, it was hard to tell. But if they had managed their Rita, two teams should make it possible.
She hesitated, then looked to Zordon. "Is... is that okay? Or... does that count as escalating?" she asked, unsure. She liked the idea, a lot. But she was a hero from a 90s after school show, she followed the rules. She had to ask.
"It would be escalating a conflict." He answered, making Kim roll her eyes.
"Yeah but she provides a constant threat to earth and the people there, right?" She looked to Trini. "Which seems more like she's escalated the conflict already."

Hope filled her. It... It could work, right?
