### The moment you became a servant of Thor, the old you died. What remains
is a poor facsimile of the rational human being which existed before.
Cryonic backup restores you to life, to fight against Thor, in revenge for
taking possession of one of your bodies (of course you want to call all of
your other bodies to help you - all of you have to stick together to beat up
guys who try to take over one of you).
Is it coherent? :-)
