If I'm being ordered to not argue, I guess I won't argue.
What do you need for them? If they're a mix.

Well then. I may follow those better. Sometimes. Every now and then.
So there's nothing I can get you back in return?

I can do that. No idea what it is, but yeah, I can order it. Still got some credits left.
...Any idea if he really is a god? He told me he was, but it's a little hard to believe.

[w o w garrus way to ask the complicated questions.]
From what I've gathered, arrogance and posturing are a large part of Asgardian culture. Loki is not exceptional.
They style themselves as gods because their comparative strength, speed and metaphysical prowess with regards to humans caused them to be regarded as such.
Gods do not exist.

Glad to hear that.
My people don't believe in gods, but I know a few species who do. Already have enough things challenged as it is here. Don't need my view of the galaxy messed with too.
Especially when you'd know, when you've seen a bunch of different universes.

Kree learn that the idea of 'gods' is mathematically unsound around the same time we learn not to soil ourselves.
I have see entities capable of destroying universes, and I personally know a man who can bend reality with his will; all of them obeyed sets of laws.
True omnipotence is impossible. There is always something greater.
Loki is a powerful sorcerer with a notable affinity for chaos. He's also a consummate liar. But a god?
Pardon me, but: bullshit.
I still like him, though. He and I were teammates.

[ It's weird leaving this outside another rover, but eventually Garrus will come back to a bottle waiting for him. High proof, dextro-friendly spirits—with an added hallucinogenic kick, because Jean doesn't actually know what those are but you know what, why not.
There's a thin note tied around the bottle neck with neat, even handwriting.
'Thanks.
Don't drink it all at once.
-Jean'
Short and sweet. Thanks for having his back, for the lockdown, for whatever. ]

Shouldn't be glad to hear that, but I am.
Not that I blame others for having their beliefs. You go with what you trust, and what your people trust. No reason to disbelieve it and leave the faith unless you get disillusioned.
It happens, but still. Don't blame them.
And don't blame him for trying to pull a fast one on everyone.

[You're much nicer about it than he is, Garrus.]
Just because it's a comforting lie doesn't make it less of one, but I do see your point. 'Ignorance is bliss'?
I'm curious--how do you not blame him, exactly? I wasn't exaggerating when I described him as a consummate liar.

It can be. Tradition can be comfort too. Culture, customs, the whole 'how it's done' thing.
Bunch of people here don't know who you are or what you can do, and the files might leave crucial data out.
Do you tell the whole truth? Or do you have some fun and see if you can get a few people worshiping you?
I wouldn't try to fool people to that level, but I've played pranks before. As long as nobody gets hurt, they're fun.

Wouldn't you go for your first choice of pencil?
Of course they do. People use them in 'art.' I have no idea why. I also don't know what they have to do with alien 101.
You type like a volus.
What would you like to know? That's generally how I've been running this thing. Wanna know about structure, people, religion...?

I don't know what that is.
My people are militaristic. We're all trained from fifteen to serve in the military in some way. It's pretty effective. Means that even if you're not particularly skilled in anything, you've got a job. A profession.
And for the rest of us it's a good jumping - off point. We build from there. Duty is pretty important too. Duty and service.

Handsome vegetable. Really.
Not really. Back home I have the rank that I know what the motivation behind any order is, the bigger picture, all of that. It's a little rough to be a raw recruit all over again. Still finding my footing.
There are some homeless. Not many. They've got resources to help them, so if they stay jobless it's actually a choice.
