[ The video is addressed to the entirety of the Audentes team, new and old. A black cat peers into the feed; he is in a lab of some kind, crackling purple electricity jumping from conductor to conductor while a white cat paws at some instruments. When he opens his mouth, it's not meowing that comes out, but the baritone voice of a man. ]

Audentes. You will soon receive a dossier compiled by our analysts, which should give you all the information you need, but I have been told by the knife-eared one that you would appreciate a personal touch. Cherenkov and I are the most qualified to deliver this, and so here I am.

[ He pauses. ] We have located Zymandis's home base, the Mothership, using radio-frequency trackers in leftover robots from their assault on Oska, using your techniques. Using the calculations of the TIMELINE.exe, we have been able to pinpoint the Mothership's path in the next forty-two days, after which its path becomes unclear.

This means we can safely rift you in and out of the heart of Zymandis, an unprecedented opportunity to gather information. And to sabotage, if the mood strikes you. Do not waste it.

The TIMELINE.exe has additional notes to impart. It is an old program, so please... try to have some humor about whatever it says.

[ damnit, his life. he has a reputation to keep! ]

Ugh, something like that.

[ a pause. ]

One condition—any update made by anyone who walks in that room must be approved by Tim, first. Clear?

[spacerhyme]

[ embrace it. we can all see the conversation, friend LOKI. ]

I don't go round operating on a sentient beings without their consent.

[ this is the first time he's encountered tim, but it's clearly thinking and self-aware, and that's all he needs to see. ]

[ he wants to pretend that no one can, ok. ]

Good! We're all on the same page. Let's jot down a time on the busy, busy schedule.

[spacerhyme]

Well, I'm free as a clam.

[ . . . ]

No... oyster?

As some free animal.

An eagle.

[spacerhyme]

No, eagles are exceptionally busy birds.

[ said like he knows some personally.

he might do. ]

Not according to Midgardian classic rock.

[spacerhyme]

Oh, you never wanna take that stuff literally. Led Zeppelin were really only from London - no midnight sun - and only one member of Queen was galactic royalty.

[selfimage]

Oh, now that sounds juicy.

Which member? Inquiring minds and all.

[spacerhyme]

[ you can't see him gazing enigmatically into the distance, but you can basically hear it. ]

Now, that would be telling.

I feel like I've missed the Midgardian train.

[spacerhyme]

Didn't you say you lived in New York? You wouldn't believe what you can find in that one city alone, digging in the right places.

People overlook Earth because its civilization's young and fairly stupid, but it's only because they can't see the whole picture. There's a lot going on on that planet, always has been.

There's a reason why the god of mischief decided to take residence in a Manhattan apartment, after all. There's something about those Midgardians that my brother got right.
