->My life was a disaster. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero I had failed in so many ways]]... Failed to save Arbron from [[ShapeshifterModeLock being trapped forever in]] [[HorrorHunger Taxxon morph]]. Failed to stop the [[PuppeteerParasite Yeerk]] called Visser Thirty-Two from stealing the body of my prince, Alloran-Semitur-Corrass. Failed to defeat the surprise attack of the living asteroids. Failed even to protect the two humans I was supposed to take care of. And worst of all, I had failed to deliver the [[MacGuffin Time Matrix]] to my people. The Time Matrix: power beyond imagination.

We also have reports that a division of N.V.A. has occupied all of the city of Hue south of the Perfume River. In strategic terms, Charlie's cut the country in half... the civilian press are about to wet their pants and we've heard even Cronkite's going to say the war is now unwinnable.

The knowledge that Junior and Mary were his fellow prisoners, and that the other heroes of Earth had tried and failed to rescue them, wasn't contributing to his peace of mind.\\
All of it, every last bit of it, at the hands of Sivana. His enemies given power beyond his own, and his homeworld threatened with conquest. Or destruction.\\
But was there a way to escape? Could there, possibly, be a way to manage a break from these bonds, a stilling of the ray above him?
