Asgardian Gethsemene, Part 1.
When the Exiles materialize in their next location, they have a lot of new company in the middle of a rock-strewn, windy field. In the distance, there is a building with a slanted, thatched roof. It is the only building in the immediate vicinity, though those with sharp eyes may see various small structures even further in the distance.

	"Well, this is apparently Asgard. It's not on the telly much, but do dwarves usually say 'y'all?' And they seemed... kind of like they were waiting for anothher shoe to drop? Besides us? Maybe? That part about a very weird war council?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"They don't normally use Southern slang, no. Nor do they usually have mutants running things. If there's a war council, then they suspect war is coming - with Thor, Odin, and likely others missing.

Meanwhile, our instructions are 'Hold'. I suspect we're here, at least for now, to prevent them from being overwhelmed. No slight against mutants, being one, but some of the enemies that could be attacking Asgard... might be a rough test."

	"We're likely to find the most information for our time at the war council," Dory says. "Even if they don't tell us everything, Nate might be able to 'overhear' a few things, which will give us a place or places to start." He turns toward the telepath. "Do you have any experience with Asgardians?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Laura didn't say anything, and just listened. At the moment, she had nothing to add. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'll go to the war council. I'll take volunteers to come with me, but someone more familiar with the later eras of typical X-Men activity might help me. Dory, Jason - take any volunteers who don't want to come to the council, and move around a little, meet some of the locals and get a feel for the place.

You two have more experience with how things can be different world to world. And if this goes badly, or these people turn out to be some kind of trick, I want to know our options for getting out and getting to cover fast. I also want a map of this place and a layout of the defenses. If we do get attacked, I need info to work with. And find out how many of the Asgardian big name gods we still have on our side, and how many X-Men, if you could?"

	"No don't really have much experience with Asgardians," Nate says, "Why do you ask?" "I've got no preferences," he says, "I can go where you guys want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Meggan looks at him. "Why does he ask? ...'cause there's all these Asgardians about, and you're the only psychic-type here when we're looking for information. You're lucky you're pretty." Tact. Surely Meggan left it somewhere. ...Possibly at Mickey's funeral. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm useless," Olivia said. "I don't know any Asgardian stuff and very little X-Men stuff. I was still on Avengers 101." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'll help where I can, but after a certain point in typical history, as far as I can tell most common paths... I know mostly alternate world histories. Honestly though, sometimes not knowing much ahead of time is a virtue in this job. No expectations. Olivia, you're with me. One of the ones with a lot of X-knowledge too. The rest of you, divide up with Jason and Dory and do some recon and talking to people while we're in the war council."

	"I'm happy to do most of the talking to people, if Jason doesn't mind doing the mapping," Dory offers. "My fiance back home is a fan of Asgard and Asgardians, so I've picked up a thing or two. I've also got a strong grasp of protocol, so I'll be able to soothe any feathers that might get otherwise ruffled." He flashes a quick smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alright, the rest of you group up with either Jason or Dory and go from there. Try to stay together, or at least in sight. We'll go over what we found out after the war council, and then do any additional figuring things out we need to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wanted to know if their was something about asgardian's minds that I didn't know about," Nate tells Meggan. "I'll go with whomever wants me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, ma'am," Olivia said to Sarah. She was new to all this craziness and it was good she was with the most experienced person. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'll let Jason and Dory split up the teams the rest of the way. My definite X-knowledge runs up to what seems to, in most worlds, be called the 'Secret War'. Up to that point, and for the X-Men involved, its extensive. Rogue, sort of, was my mother. Storm and Wolverine were the parents of my best friend... so I know a lot of them well. But since my parents and the rest never left Battleworld, I don't know anything definitive beyond that. I've worked with different iterations of the X-Men and New Mutants on other worlds in the five years of doing this Exiles Road thing... but its hard to say if any of those are typical or not.

As for the rest of the question - and a good one, yes. Talk to anyone you're extremely familiar with on your worlds. That will give you the best ideas of how different or similar they are here, and we can make educated guesses on others. Also, when Jason and Dory split you up - talk to the people on your own teams. We're very, very stuck with each other for a while, people. We can be yanked out of any world at any time. Old friends and family can quickly become enemies. No family, no friends, no lovers - nothing we can count on but each other. People can, and have died out here on Exiles Road, and more would have if it weren't for some good teammates. Get to know each other, because its all you have now, and it could be a long, long road home."
