Through unknown means, the mice ended up inside Allura's cryo-pod, and were thus kept in suspended animation with her for 10,000 years. Her discovery of them was something of a comfort to Allura, who had believed that she and Coran were the last surviving inhabitants of Altea. To her surprise, she subsequently learned that their shared experience in stasis had created a mental link between her and the mice, enabling them to hear her thoughts and react accordingly to provide aid, such as crawling into areas that the humanoid Alteans and human Paladins couldn't reach. This would come in particular handy during the heroes' battles with Sendak, with the mice helping repair the Castle of Lions and later liberate it from Sendak and Haxus.
