"It is a realm where, unlike here, magic and science exist side by side, with one aspect not being of greater importance then the other. Of course, the most noteworthy place is the palace. It is vast, towering over all of Asgard. Nearly all is made of glaring gold. Its people, dressed in garb not unlike mine. Oft times, there are large feasts held in the name of some person of importance. There were times where I wondered if these people were simply made up, so that there be an excuse for another banquet. The place was regarded as paradise by humanity, or so I understood." Loki explained, a slight uncharacteristic nostalgic look on his face as he spoke. "Of course, it is all superfluous. Underneath its embellished surface, it is no different then elsewhere. A place where warriors and power in general are held in high regard. A place of stupidity. Pointless conflict, serving only to further one's station, or little more then entertainment. I... hated it." he continued, taking on a much more spiteful tone. Hateful, even.

"Is that so...?" Astasis said to Roy, a smirk on his face. "Yes... I can use that. And you said you're up for a job before signing up officially? Even better. I have the perfect job in mind for you..." Tapping on the glass plate on his desk, Astasis brought up a file mentioning several people. "What I want you to do, is recruit the following people. Firstly, a cat beastkin by the name of Felina in Holadino. Now, I know what you're thinking. "A beastkin? In the army?! No way!" While normally I would agree to that, this woman has served in the military before, and acquired a special type of mech for it. I want that mech. Of course, if you can figure out how this thing works, exactly, and manages to steal it, that's fine by me too. Next, some kid named Geo in Granite Pass. Given his ridiculous dyed hair, you can't miss 'im. Word is he developed some new tech that could turn the tides right in our favour. I want those, too. And once again, if you can steal it, then by all means. Furthermore, in Fourside, Professor Lucia was meant to work on some new kind of tank. It was supposed to arive days ago, but it hasn't. I want you to find out what's the hold up. Because, damnit, I wanna see that thing blast the Xiphatians to bits. Finally, I want you to check up on another scientist. A creep called Howard Soto. Like the last one, he was suposed to deliver something. Some kind of super soldiers named GRUNTS, and yet, I've seen nothing. Find out why, and get him to hurry it up already.
Do all this, and consider yourself the newest addition to the Legaian army!"
