I doubt it will ever rot, at least not until the power supply runs out. Who knows when that will be.
[He read the details in the power plant, and he knows what multiple suns' worth of power looks like. The replicator could keep going well after the planet itself crumbles to dust.]
But, yes, that's the idea. I was going to get notebooks as well.
[He lets out a tired sigh, Thor can't see it, but he's pinching the bridge of his nose.]
Yeah. Don't get me wrong, we did go to horrible planets- but there were few and far between. It's just been a lot, and worse? More death. More feeling, I don't know, helpless to save these people.
Not directly. [In fact, saying as much puts Thor in mind of how dissimilar this situation is. Except for the repercussions he can't help but draw links between.]
Before I got back to Asgard to challenge her, Hela had already killed a great many people. Anyone who opposed her. It was at a point where our only option was to try and save those left and get them away from Asgard entirely.
You see, Hela drew her strength from Asgard. The longer she stayed there, the more powerful she became. Even if we escaped, she would come after us eventually. And then she would have gone after everyone else.
[That one word is heavier than anything else Thor's said. After a moment, he continues.]
So I know that this place shouldn't remind me of Asgard. This place still exists, after all. But I can't help but see what happened here and think how easily people can be wiped out.
[That's a not comforting thought. Sokka lets it sit there for a moment, churning around in his head. Poor Thor. ]
I#m sorry, it had to have been hard- even more so for this place to dredge all those memories up. It's not like you were that long ago going back there. I guess it's like opening up the wound even before it's had a chance to heal.
[There's a pause before Thor huffs lightly, smiling though Sokka can't see it.]
No, and worry not. It's just a passing thought - one that will go away as soon as we do. It's only annoying to be here and not be able to do much about it.

[Something his tutors would have been startled to hear, years ago, when he was more likely to ditch his studies as soon as possible. Times change.]
So I'll get a stack?

Sure, that's be great! Thanks.

[Thor hasn't got a baseline to work with beyond his own five months in the Fleet. Well, that, and his own adventures on horrible planets back home.]

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, we did go to horrible planets- but there were few and far between. It's just been a lot, and worse? More death. More feeling, I don't know, helpless to save these people.

[Far too well.]
I know it shouldn't, but this place reminds me of home.
voice.
[Give him a minute.]
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a really, really awful thing.

[There's a brief thump on the other end of the line as Thor sits down somewhere.]
You remember how I said I fought my sister when she seized Asgard's throne?

[Spirits, he HOPES not. ]

...Is there anything I can do?

I really cannot wait until the day comes I can punch them in the face.
