Who: Thor and you
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: on the Blue Fish if you want him
When: today
[Thor has obviously stuck his communicator on the desk in his room, because the video opens with him in profile, sitting on his bed. For a few moments all he does is toss a small rubber ball out of the frame, then catch it when it rebounds off the opposite wall with a thud back towards him. He does this a couple of times before he speaks.]
When I arrived in the Fleet, I was told a lot of things and given several warnings. All of them with good purpose. What I remember most though is being told not to try and take out the augment. More than one person told me this.
[A sidelong glance at the communicator, before he throws the ball into the wall again. Thud. Catch.]
No one said why exactly, other than the obvious part where it's stuck in our heads. Still, I would ask what exactly we know about these augments. What's been tried to get them out, what happens when you do? And have they been known to do anything else besides give us information about our ship roles.
If I had heard more about it earlier, I probably wouldn't have-- [Hold that thought: Thor misses the next rebound on the ball and it smacks him in the head, making him jump and drop out of frame for a moment.] --shit.
[Okay, he’s back up, with the offending ball tossed away into a corner. He rubs at his face before continuing, faintly annoyed. Everything is out to spite him today.]
Anyway. If you know something about them, I'd like to hear it. Or even if you have an opinion on them. Those are good too.
[One day he'll make a network post when he's in a cheerful mood. Maybe.]

Ah. I am a person who can change into a wolf and when the moon is full I essentially become entirely wolf until the moon wanes.
[He hopes that explanation will suffice.]
Yes, I am baffled as to how I was taken without my knowledge as well.
Video
[That at least he understands. He nods at the explanation. Werewolf definition noted.]
I'd wager we all are. It is but one part of the larger mystery, and we don't seem much closer to understanding it.
Video
Indeed. I am a sort of shapeshifter.
[Seriously, you get so many points in his book for that.]
Somehow this does not at all surprise me. Given how confusing what we information we already have appears to be.
Video
It is a problem, which is why I thought I would ask the question. I am certain there is more information to be gained somewhere... it's just a matter of where it is.
Video
Video
So you're from a less advanced world?
Video
Video
[He waves it off.]
But it is all pretty similar to me, as I am not from Earth at all.
Video
[He smiles because obviously it doesn't bother him.]
Where are you from, if I may ask?
Video
Video
[He doesn't know A LOT about Norse mythology. But he does know some of it.]
Video
That's right. Odin was my father, though I rule Asgard now.
Video
Video
[Nothing that would have made its way to Earth, much less the 19th century.]
I am, yes. My father passed away recently. I am Thor, son of Odin.
Video
My condolences for your loss then.
Video
Thank you.
Video
Video
[And Thor is still unused to standing on that level of ceremony, unless it's coming in sarcastic form from Valkyrie.]
Video
[Please forgive him, Thor. Them Victorian gentleman manners but STRONG.]
Video
Video
[Translation: He lives by manners and dies by manners.]
