God's real or technological were among the rarest of all so they were always interesting. Though always better after the event with a few beers and good company. As she jetted her way towards the others Sitara tried to piece together what they'd found out so far, and it was definitely a mess godlings tended to have quite an ego on them and the power to back it up.

But man, I've kinda been wanting to kick some bastards in the teeth...
