On a Cliff overlooking the Ocean, a man stood there, cloaked in silver armor that covered his black and green clothing, waiting for the two guests he had invited, the Greek war gods Ares and Athena.

Ares' voice was heard from behind the man "I must say loki you do find the most INTERESTING of places to have meetings at." Stepping up beside Loki was a man dressed in a suit with no tie, the top buttons undone slightly to give off some man cleavage while wearing sunglasses. "Really why must you choose cliffs? I don't like cliffs that much, nasty falls and all that."

"Because," Loki said, "In another life, in another universe, another version of me held a place like this in high regard, and where he learned the truth, that his father did love him." Loki turned "But nevermind all that, I see that Athena isn't here yet, do you know when she will join us ?"

Ares held up his wristwatch as he said "Um...probably...soon....ish." He shrugs his shoulders as he gives a smile towards Loki.

Suddenly, an owl flew down the cliff and landed right in front of Loki and Ares. It transformed into a mature, bright woman wearing a tight business suit. Athena stepped forward and greeted them with a wave of her hand.

"My apologies for my lateness, what is it that you wish to bring us to this forgotten cliff?" Athena calmly said, though a cooled voice.

Ares nods as he points a thumb towards the woman "No offense towards my stuck up sister who REALLY needs to get laid."

This resulted in Athena saying in an almost bored tone "Oh jump off a cliff you man whoring, go to the store to get milk to never return ass."

Ares chuckles as he leans his head back with a goofy smile "Love you too sister."

"Oh for the love of the Norns, can you two at least be serious for once in your immortal lives!" Loki shouted at them before a horrified look overcame his face "Oh dear, I've become the responsible one." he said in horror.

Ares shrugs his shoulders "weeellll that was bound to happen wasn't it." He says before going towards a rock to sit on.

Both the gods and goddess steeply away from each other and both turn to the one who invited them here in the first place. "Loki, We've known your reputation of trickery and deceitful, I hope you're have a good reason to call us here, in this cliff land of particularity," Athena said, wasting no time to get the point.

"Of course!" Loki said "It has to do with the Aliens we discovered"

Ares smiles "OH YES! Those Turians right bunch those lots. Nice mix of spartans and...hmmmm i wanna say a hint of Rome maybe." He tilts his head slightly as if trying to think if he had it right like one does tasting a wine.

"Yes," Loki said "And those Salarians could give your father Zeus a run for his drachma in paranoia."

Athena's eye twitches slightly as she pinches the bridge of her nose "Yes, yes they could." Before she breathes and says "And the Asari might as well be the creation of my fair huntress sister."

"Yes, with all the arrogance and pride of your father Zeus," Loki said mischief filling his eyes with every word spoken to Athena.

Ares couldn't help but laugh as he yelled "HA! GOT'EM!"

Athena twitched and furrowed her brow down, "ENOUGH! Just tell us what you quarry with your Alien stage and we are off."

Loki shrugs his shoulders and scoffs that she didn't let him have a good fun laugh, at least not yet anyway, he'll just straightforward drop the bomb now.

"Oh it's simple the Salarians are about to preemptively strike to kill all the other Council members and other leaders of the other alien races all to instill *Peace and Order*, so that Peace and Order does not fail," Loki said in an all nonchalant tone of voice.
