[ My children must eat. New children would provide cosmic flesh. ]
I understand where you're coming from, I do, I have children of my own, but the whole cannibalism thing is a bit Greek for me. What if I were to lead you, with this ship, to a place where your offspring could feed in peace? Grow strong and hale?
[ The shark swishes its tail and draws closer, and if it could narrow its eyes it would.
... Very well, Loki of Asgard. Lead us to our hunting grounds. We shall not lose sight or scent of this vessel. ]
Excellent! [ He claps his hands, taking a step back as the shark eases away. ] Would you mind staying behind the ship while we fly? So as not to hurt you or your children in any way. I will let you know when we arrive at these new hunting grounds, which I definitely know where to find.
[ The whole shoal of sharks turn and take their place behind The Enterprise, and Loki gives them a salute as he shouts, Be back soon with an update! When he teleports back onto the bridge he brings with him a below-freezing waft of air and the stench of ozone, clean and thin like a mint up the sinuses after a cold glass of water. He swivels to face Chris in his chair, inhaling to start warming himself up as he breathes again. ]
