Thanks to their intel, Tony knew it was coming before the tanks arrived. He'd called Steve first. It felt like the right thing to do. Next, he got T'Challa on the phone to let him know what was going down.

By 1pm EST, the compound knew. Steve chose to send a message over the network so that even those off-planet would know what was happening.

"Bad News. We have US military incoming. ETA is 1 hour. Do not engage.

Captain Rogers, King T'Challa, Carter, and I are handling this."

Tony knew, even as he sent it, this probably wasn't going to end well.

"Those on the K. Bacon, do not return to Earth. Please keep off comms for now. I'll update you soon."

When Ross arrived, Tony was standing outside of the compound with a small entourage. He kept his face stern, but he was not in his Iron Man suit. Instead, he was dressed in his suit and tie, as if attending a business meeting.

Ross's entourage was let in without much in the way to stop them. Tony had communicated they leave the heavy military outside, for now, warning that any show of force wouldn't end well for anybody.

When Ross stepped out of the armored vehicle, he removed his sunglasses and gave Tony the once over.

"Stark. What the hell have you done now?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Cut the bullshit, Stark. We know what's going on here. Wormholes crossing dimensions. And time. You're gathering a small army and you thought you could keep it hidden. You're lucky we didn't nuke your ass weeks ago."

Tony glanced at Steve, quietly willing him to hold back for now. "I don't think bombing a civilian research facility would look too well, do you? On American soil, no less."

Ross stiffened. "The only reason you're still around is because the US government has intel that there might be a bigger threat on the horizon."

"So you're not all stupid. Good. We can work with that."

**This is a MAJOR plot thread that will have long-term implications in game.

Any attacks made first against the military might end badly.

Characters' deaths are discouraged, but injuries are possible. If there is a battle, a dice roll will be used to determine winners/losers.

More threads will be added depending on the directions characters go (for example, a thread will be added if someone starts fighting).

An ending thread where characters can react to the outcome will be added later.

	"That's not what I mean. I'm saying that if you want to survive, you need to adapt. You know that. Which means when they get here, they're going to have to adapt." He didn't seem too flustered by the comment or implication. "And it's not as easy as you think. Even for Asgardians." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Or they could change their surroundings. Loki did not say any of that. "Like you are adapting, hmm? And what does that adaptation look like for you? Because, right now, seeing this-" He nodded towards Ross. "- it makes me concerned. If this is how they treat you just because you are a little different, how will they treat us?

	A little different? Bucky wondered what Loki knew about him, looking at the Asgardian with a raised eyebrow. "You know who I am, right?" He was almost indignant. Actually, no. Nevermind. He didn't want Loki to know. "Ross isn't everyone. If this works out here for your people, it'll be good. Just....try not to screw it up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

For a moment, he eyed Bucky, then eyed Ross again. His lips quirked in a way that it didn't quite show whether he meant it seriously or not. "Ah, you are a fountain of advice, aren't you? Tell me then, when a man like Ross will come knocking on our door and does something like..." He waved towards the people in front of them. "... this. What is it that we should do?"

	I don't know. You're the guy who's centuries old. What you think?" Bucky was turning it on him, wondering exactly what Loki thought was a good move here. "If you want to take on the world, by all means. But humans will see you as the aggressor if you do. That's how they spin it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A low chuckle. Loki himself enjoyed dodging questions. He could respect that. Then he huffed as he thought about the question. Not too long ago, Midgard had worshipped them and recognised their strength. But they had been blinded by their own sense of grandiosity. A subtle anger arose at humanity's arrogance. It was only the memory of the broken Statesman that kept it in check. He had made a promise to his brother.

"Then I think it would be best to leave. My people need stability. If the people of this state are not able to see us as the assets that we are, then I do not think our path should continue here. Either we resettle elsewhere on Midgard or we will leave to Vanaheim." He preferred the latter. By far.
