"On Krypton, this is where they imprison dangerous aliens." "Amazing." "I do wish the image were clearer." "Oh, dear." "Stay behind me, professor." "Oh, no, you don't." "What is that?" "Look out!" "Hurry, professor." "Whatever you turned last time, turn it the other way." "You okay?" "Yes." "Just making a mental note to label that knob." "Help me!" "Please!" "Release me!" "I've served my sentence." "Where is the council?" "hello." "Have you come to release me?" "Who are you?" "MaIa." "Where is the council?" "The council isn't here." "My name is KaI-EI." "KaI-EI?"

"Mala, at the peak of her career, was second-in-command of Planetary Defenses answering only to the high general himself, Jax-Ur." "And when our defenses have been diminished to a pitiful strike force who will save Krypton from its enemies?" "Jax-Ur and Mala, brilliant warriors each, stood together in service to the council for years, till the thirst for power corrupted Jax-Ur's mind." "The council has grown weak." "Krypton needs a strong leader to reclaim its former greatness, and I am that leader." "Together, we will usher in a new age of strength and order for all." "Don't move." "Jax-Ur and Mala seized the ruling council, and would surely have held on to power if not for one young scientist who had learned of the traitors' plans." "Jor-El." "Father." "At their trial, Jax-Ur defiantly claimed sole responsibility for the insurrection and was exiled permanently to the Phantom Zone." "Where is Jor-EI?" "Does he not have the backbone to face his condemned?" "Bring me Jor-EI." "Let me spit at him with my final breath." "But the council was sympathetic to Mala who they believed was only following orders and her sentence in the Phantom Zone was reduced to 20 years." "Professor, I know it's risky, but it's the right thing to do." "Get the Phantom Zone projector." "We're letting her out." "Where am I?" "Who are you?" "Start talking." "I'm KaI-EI, the one you spoke to." "You're on a planet called Earth." "Why?" "Why aren't we on Krypton?" "I'm sorry." "Krypton was destroyed a Iong time ago." "You and I are its only survivors." "No." "This is a Iot to absorb." "I should take her somewhere safe until she gets her bearings." "There's no one at the STAR Labs retreat..." "...if you'd Iike to use it." "Thanks, professor." "Now, hang on." "people on Earth can fly?" "actually, just me." "And you too, once your body absorbs enough yellow sunlight." "tell me more." "And we're the only two people with these powers on the planet?" "And you, you're defenseless against us?" "Yes." "I'm just a human being." "In fact, I bleed more easily than many."

"If Superman really cares about the human race he should send her back to where he found her to that Phantom Zone dimension." "I'm never going back!" "Never!" "I think I may have made a mistake." "The images I saw didn't say anything about her being so power-hungry." "The fact is, I wonder if even Brainiac knew the whole truth about MaIa." "Might there be a way she could repair the damage she's done?" "Maybe." "I think it's time she spoke to the press." "Have the projector ready." "If MaIa doesn't straighten out, we may have to send her back." "I misunderstood Superman's role on Earth." "I" "I don't want to rule your planet."
