[geomagnetically]

[ Hello, here's the familiar face and voice of your local green haired, green eyed, green lipped mutant. ]

Humor me for a second, especially my fellow nerd residents. Has anyone not native to this world done, or ever tried to do, any work-slash-research on the geophysics of the world here? Because if you have, I'm curious and have questions.

[ A beat of silence for a half second, then she speaks again: ]

Where I'm from, a version of a planet called Earth, I have a masters degree in geophysics — which is worth all of jack shit here on a non-Earth planet! Howeverrrrr .... I still have an interest in the subject, even if my Earth rules won't and don't always apply here.

So. That's all I've got.

[ The video opens with Loki sitting on the remains of what likely was once the wall of a building, golden, horned helmet in his laps and leaning over it with his hands clasped and his forearms resting on said helmet.

Loki blinks twice. ]

Greetings.

[ A pause, then a short, seemingly a little flustered chuckle and he leans back out of his position a little before going on. ]

I have only met a few of you so far and so I- I thought it to be about time to introduce myself at last.

[ He leans back enough to give the helmet in his lap a pat with one of his hands. ]

I am Loki. And if your home realm is one of those that is familiar to this name by virtue of certain mythologies: Not that one. Though I may have inspired those tales in the version of Midgard I have come to know. But let's not dwell on that.

[ Offering a wide, friendly smile to the camera, Loki leans back forward, arms resting on the helmet once more. ]

Actually, I have already been here for some time now and I have made myself familiar with our situation and what is expected of us. Being Asgardian and adept at sorcery, I believe I may be of good use regarding our endeavor to aid our hosts. Though I also believe our goal could be achieved more effectively if we had the means to quickly move to other planets and back.

Which is what I want to propose to all of you here and today. My people have been traveling the galaxy freely for millennia, moving from one planet to the other in mere moments. The technology and magic behind it is relatively simple by Asgardian standards and I am convinced we can recreate it here. For this cause I would be interested to meet those of you proficient in magic as well as all skilled engineers interesting in taking on this task.
