[Video clicks on, and it's Loki! Hi Loki! The bruises he got in the port have all gone down by now, and he's wearing his fancy gazelle helmet. Apparently he's feeling flamboyant today.]

Sad, really. Seeing humanity being exterminated like that. Set upon, and wiped out by alien powers infinitely more powerful, and advanced than it could ever have hoped to have been. Apparently, the distant eyes of Odin and Thor, and any other absent protectors of you Midgardians fell shut in your hour of need. [He gives a woeful little sigh.]

If only there had been someone... some being who might have known how to compete with such a threat. Some watchful ruler, who could have summoned armies from the air in your defense. Who could have spent the many long eons before this tragedy befell mankind, advancing your civilization to the point where you were a world that would stand unassailable.

[He gives a helpless, sympathetic shrug.]

Mistake it not, Mortals, you were made to be ruled. It just so happens that some rulers are more benevolent than others...

[Then he grins, and clicks the feed off.]

The pricking of your ego concerns me not.

And the vaunting of yours should concern me?

Did you set foot on that planet at all?

Clearly it concerns you enough to come whine to me about it.

And I did. Was beaten and caged and beat others who were caged, the same as any other.

Then you ought to have a care for what you say.

For all your talk of benevolence, you seem to have very little.

I have thought considerably on it. If I had the chance I could have saved that world, and those who took that chance away from me are here among us. They deserve to know that the ravaged world we left could have been spared, were it not for the doings of this ship.

Think what you want. I've not pretended any kindness, but I am right in this.

And have they realized that yet?
