Summary:
pg1-3
"Broxton, Oklahoma" [Night, Sif's boarding room, Sooner Hotel]
App: Sif, Mrs. Sooner.
In the bath, Sif catalogues various scars, trying to reassure herself, but jumps at a sound, imagining it to be Loki come from her again, and almost stabs Mrs. Sooner with a broken plunger handle before she realises who it actually is.
pg4-8 + 9:1:1
[Night, The Okio Doke Bar]
App: Sif, Beta Ray Bill, Ti Asha Ra, "Dave", "Luke", various extras
Sif, in civvies, works at getting drunk until BRB charges in, looking for Thor. After cattily glancing at his girlfriend, she asks him to explain why he needs Thor.
He explains that Skuttlebutt has been possessed by a biomechanical virus, and won't let any Korbinites on board. She replies that "Thor's aid cannot be had at present", and offers her aid in his stead.
pg9:1-9:2 + 9:3:1
[Shuttle en route to Skuttlebutt]
App: Sif, BRB, TAR, Skuttlebutt
They approach Skuttlebutt. Sif is now in-costume.
pg9:4-10:5
[Aboard the possessed Skuttlebutt]
App: Skuttlebutt, "Salvation Contagion" leader, and infectees [none named]
The "Salvation Contagion" leader plots to use Skuttlebutt to learn how to infect machines, and infect the shuttle remotely.
pg10:5:2 + 11-20
[Airlock, into Skuttlebutt; cutting to and from BRB & TAR in the shuttle]
App: Sif, Skuttlebutt, BRB, TAR, "Salvation Contagion" leader, and infectees [none named]
Sif charges through until she confronts the leader, and he infects her. She almost gives in, until she starts seeing the leader as Loki. She runs him through and madly slashes at the pods filled with the infection.
pg21
[Later, in Skuttlebutt's sick bay]
App: Sif, BRB, TAR
, Skuttlebutt
Sif wakes up in a medical bed hooked up to scanners, a drip and with a tube up her nose to find all is generally well, but she needs to rest and recover for a bit. She wishes BRB & TAR "great happiness", and TAR wishes her peace in return.
pg22
[Later still, Night.]
App: Sif, Skuttlebutt
Sif watches Skuttlebutt depart, then turns and strides forward purposefully, sword over her shoulder, swearing to have vengeance on Loki.
Continuity notes:
- Sif cameos in T 606, in the Marko Djurdgevic costume she appeared in T 602-603 & T:GSF in.
- Sif has a new costume in this issue, more closely based on her old ones than the MD one, but with huge, furry shoulder pads.
- "Weeks" pass between T 606 and SIEGE, per SIEGE: LOKI.
That would give:

(not a complete listing for T@2 1, just for-the-record)
Calendar notes:
Hard to say how long this takes - no timeframes are specified at any point. The simplest assumption would be:
Day 1, Night: pg1-8
Day 2: pg9-20
Day 3: pg21
Day 4, Night: pg22
But there's room to stretch it out, ESPECIALLY between pg21 & 22, if need be.
