Month 1: (Post Ragnarok)
You eventually limp into the "conference" room set aside for the leadership of your dwindling flotilla. Looking at it, you can at least say the crew tried to make it look dignified.
The table has a holographic display that flickers in and out of focus, blurred shapes and numbers giving what little data readings the various captains of the fleet bother to send you between their constant balancing act of keeping their ships running and their passengers from rioting out of sheer panic. There are even a few stools set aside, some sort of leathery substance covering their spindly metal frames. Taking care not to crush it, you settle yourself onto the most comfortable looking one, taking a moment to enjoy the sensation of no longer being on your feet, before the metal bars underneath the cover poke your ass. The other seats are empty, for now. The majority of the old King's councilors having either been slain these past few months or too injured to attend this meeting. They will either have to be healed or replaced, but for now at least, the quiet gives you the chance to prepare your thoughts to set the short term agenda, the plan that will drag your people from the edge kicking and screaming if needs be.
You haven't felt this much responsibility since you left home to go travelling the stars once more. It is highly unwelcome, but needs must. You are Njord after all! First King of Vanaheim and great wanderer of the realms!
"You alright there old man?" The rock person asks you in concern, quietly seated further along the table as he fiddles with the settings to the table. "Wait a mo." He says before striking the console with his fist, the panel cracking as the projection flickers for a heartbeat before stabilizing.
"There, that does it. Just a little love and care. With an extra helping of fist." He continues, gently patting the now sparking device.
You might have your work cut out for you.
Notice Level: 0.1% (Looks like Thanos killed all the Asgardians)
Resources Level: ERROR DATA NOT FOUND
Command: You are a warrior race with barely a handful of warriors. Tyr is in the medical bay for the foreseeable future, Heimdall is dead and the closest thing to a executive officer is a bug with knives for hands. You would say a stiff breeze could knock your fleet apart, but at this rate you wouldn't even risk Midgard!

[-]Stand to Attention!: Asgard's army has been put through the wringer. Successive invasions and slaughters have left them a shadow of their former strength. It's best to see whats left before you can begin to make plans to use them. Chance of Success 80%, Learn what's left of Asgards Military Strength.
[-] A Well Organised Militia: Asgard is a warrior people. The average civilian is among the hardiest, strongest creatures in the galaxy. You have weapons to spare and civilians with little to do but wait for salvation. Perhaps getting them organised might help your defense. At the very least they can police themselves. Chance of Success 65%, Civilian Militia formed.
[-] I need a Hero: You can't lead the warriors of Asgard in all their battles. You are too old to be fighting on the frontlines. That kind of thing is best left to a younger warrior. Chance of Success ?? Commander found for Ground Forces

Diplomacy: You can be personable when the need calls you. Which is for the best as right now there is no-one else capable of convincing everyone to stop being idiots and to work together to save your civilization, or whats left of it.

[-] Poetry in Motion: There is a man you think could handle a role in dealing with the crowds, reassuring their concerns with smooth, calming words. You just need to drag Bragi from his hiding place. Chance of Success 70%, Gain Bragi, god of Poetry as head of PR
[-] Reassuring the People: In all honesty, no-one within the flotilla can really recall who you are. Sure, they know you are old and a venerable warrior, so they'll listen to you, but beyond a few greybeards who can remember their youth's spent fleeing from your raiding packs, the latest generation has sadly forgotten their history. It would be best to let them know the man in charge knows what he's doing. Chance of Success 40%, Civilian Population of Asgard no longer fear for their lives.
[-]Help?: You are in command of a ship that is literally falling apart as you speak. You are going to need somewhere to settle down for at least maintenance. There are a few planets in this region. Perhaps someone out there might be friendly? Chance of Success ?, Contact made with locals.

Choose 1.
[-] The Key to leadership: If there is one thing you recall from your tenure as a ruler, its to learn to delegate. You would need to find someone to unload your unending schedule to, someone both capable enough not to get you all killed, but foolish enough to agree. Chance of Success ??, Quality of adviser based on roll.
[-]What do the numbers mean?: You really need to get the supply situation under control. No-one knows what you have in your cargo holds. Whether it be weapons, food or even blankets, supplies could mean life or death. Chance of Success 60%, Unravel supply situation. Learn your resource level.
[-]Tech Support: Another power outage and you might be breathing vacuum. It would be better to get the engineers organised and the ship functional, even if it means treading on a few egotistical toes. Chance of Success 70%

Intrigue: Nobody notices another old warrior in threadbare clothing wandering the halls. Travelling in disguise, listening to the conversations of others for hints of information. The nostalgia brings a tear to your eye. Yet there is much to be done and you can only do so much alone.

[-] What remains (Survivors): You left the Statesman in a hurry and practically abandoned everything brought with you from Asgard.

Time Sensitive

Learning: The Library of Asgard contained the wisdom of over 10,000 years. Much of it dated back even further and the vaults contained such relics of power that it was no wonder the Mad Titan waited till after the Kingdom had fell before moving to acquire his prize. All of that is now dust, lost to tragedy upon tragedy. Such a waste.

[-]Talking Heads: You know of one being capable of remembering the ancient lore of Asgard with a memory so perfect, their words might well have been etched in Uru metal. Mimir, wisest of your people! There is a slight issue however. He hates you. As in really hates you. But you are sure a slight decapitation can be forgiven when the fate of Asgard is at stake, right? Chance of Success 50%, Gain Mimir as a adviser.
[-]From the Runes: What you really need is someone to help carry the burden of being your adviser on magic. Though not the most popular of paths on Asgard, surely someone within the flotilla is capable of handling magical affairs? Chance of Success ?? Gain access to Magic Actions

[-]Catching up: You take one short decade long nap and you wake up to find yourself being bundled onto a refugee ship as a fire giant plunges it's sword into the city, which is somehow a good thing. You feel like you're missing the context here. Chance of Success 80%, Get up to date with events for the past century.
[-] Improve a Stat: Self-improvement doesn't end and you've let yourself become rusty. Time to use your time to prepare for the future. Chance of Success Variable, Improve a stat.
