Who: Thor + various
Broadcast: no
Action: the First Breath, some other places
When: May 20th - May 27th

[After engaging in some extremely extra behaviour with a bunch of other extremely extra immortals, Thor came down with a brutal fever on the First Breath and has been holed up in Loki's room ever since. Still, there remain some things he needs to do.

If you want your character to find Thor during this time, hit me up on PM/dudemeister and I'll toss up a starter for you! Otherwise if they would just try to call or message him, feel free to use this post to do so.]

If they had reacted before the attack at all, it would have been evident.

[Thor is of the opinion that these sorts of checks are for nothing if the augments themselves record what they see and hear. Still, it was worth a test.]

Yes, and more importantly those who can survive the vacuum of space. Though I didn't see much of what the others attempted. [He turns his head to look at Shiro once again rather than the path they walk.] I hit the ship with multiple lightning strikes. What I learned is that it does receive damage, but it repairs itself almost instantly.

[Sound familiar?]

[padadin]

I wish it was that easy to make them appear, but fair enough.

[People who can survive the vacuum of space... Shiro is a little jealous of them, he must admit. Now that's an ability he would love. He has his armor here, to be fair, which allows him to space walk, but it seems he couldn't have helped with much if this is a god's current state of health.

And yes, it sounds familiar, but it doesn't surprise him.]

Like the door. Like everything in that planet. So the technology is similar, if not the same.

[rebuildyourruins]

[There is a brief annoyed furrowing of his eyebrows at the mention of the door, but he lets it go. The Marsiva is the bigger offence.]

It may well be. It happened quickly enough that it was nearly impossible to see. We would need a much larger sustained attack to penetrate that hull.

[Something that proved difficult to manage when his mind was screaming at him to go, to run. And then having to help Loki suffering through the same insanity. Thor lets out a breath, shaking his head.]

That was part of it, but we also found one window that we could see through. There was something in there.

[padadin]

When a god tells you we need more power, you know they've seen something out there. [A sigh.] I wish I had my lion with me here...

[Something that has been in his mind since he arrived, but he feels it now more than ever. It would provide some more useful backup for situations like this and disasters like the cannibal attack.

The rest of what Thor says though... interesting. Very interesting.]

"Something", you say. I'm assuming it wasn't people?

[rebuildyourruins]

What good would a lion do?

[He's aware of the Earth creatures, having seen pictures of them before. Thor doesn't see how lobbing a furry predator at the Marsiva will help matters. Cynically, he supposes it could garner ratings.]

No, not people. It was a pool of dark liquid. It coated the floor, but it seemed to move on its own. I could see no cause for it to collect to one side but it started to do that after a time.

[padadin]

[...oh, right, he never told Thor about that. Oops. He shakes his head.]

Not the real animal. My team and I pilot five powerful, semi-sentient ships that are shaped like lions. They're huge, especially when they combine. I want to say they'd give the Marsiva run for its money, but with this regeneration ability you mentioned, I'm not sure anymore. I could provide you better back up, at least, maybe manage a bigger hole to look into.

[He frowns at the description. That's no something that he expects to hear at all, but then again, what is he expecting from the Marsiva anyway? It's a huge metallic mystery.]

So it was alive. An alien form, perhaps? Did it notice you were there?

[rebuildyourruins]

Ah, I see. It would still be worth trying. I've never seen ships shaped like animals before.

[Which is saying something, given who he is and where he's from. At the question, Thor just snorts.]

If it did, I could not tell. It wasn't as though it had eyes or... anything. The edges of it were strange. I'm not sure I believe it is just liquid.

But it is hard to know much more from one glance.

[A glance taken in the midst of crippling artificial dread, no less.]

[padadin]

Maybe it would. [With proper back up and a plan, going after the Marsiva may not be so bad after all.] I hadn't either, not outside fiction at least, until we found the lions of Voltron. Think of them as giant robots you can control. War ships.

[A weird mix, he knows, but it's a hard concept to explain anyway. That snort by the way? Not promising. Shiro tries to stay optimistic though.]

It may've been just a glance, but at least you got some information out of it, small as it is. It would've been worse if your receiving its attack had been for nothing. [So yeah, even if he disapproves a bit about the hot-headness of this idea, he can accept something came out of it. Congrats.] Now we know for sure the Marsiva isn't empty. We're one step closer to something.
