Krypton is dying, and Jor-El is planning to send all the knowledge of his planet off-world in a rocket capsule. Every preparation has been made, and the last remaining task is to fertilize one of his wife's eggs with his own DNA to ensure the creation of their son Kal-El. As Jor-El is about to provide a DNA sample from his finger, General Zod breaks in and blasts off Jor-El's hand. Despite having been warned against tapping into the molten core of Krypton to power his machine, Zod ignored his old colleague and initiated the doom of their civilization. Zod inserts his finger into the pod and fertilizes the egg instead, hoping his offspring will grow up to conquer whichever planet upon which it lands. The rocket streaks into the sky just as Krypton explodes, passing through deep space as the incubator inside creates a baby boy. The rocket lands in a rural region of the Texas-Mexico border. A pair of Mexican migrant workers find the crashed pod and adopt the baby boy as their son. Federal forces arrive on the scene moments later, but they aren't members of the border patrol, they are officials working for Lex Luthor. Luthor has tracked the incoming space object to this place and instructs his men to take the ship for study.
Will Magnus talks with his friend Langstrom, who is withdrawn from humanity and lives in an abandoned building outside of Metropolis, having created a makeshift laboratory. Kirk is working on a batch of fake plasma to feed on. Magnus has run failed tests on Kirk's DNA, trying to reverse the antigen while its cellular walls do not hold, meaning that every attempt to reverse Kirks transformed genetics have failed. Kirk is unimpressed with this, as he seems to have lost hope of a cure to his condition. Will the mentions Palmer being missing after his truck was found totaled in the wilderness. Kirk says it is not his jurisdiction to check out the site. Will is upset by Kirk not wanting to find his colleague and mentions that he does not abide by jurisdiction anyway. Kirk reluctantly decides to go, despite his foresight about conflict with the authorities, though Magnus points out they hate him anyway.
In this fourth league, God himself breathes into the spirit. He himself moves the will, filling it with love, or sorrow and weeping for sin, or peace that passes understanding, or joy and elation, or burning desire, or fear of failing him, or wonder at his wisdom and his works. Some of these sound like emotions, but they are not first of all that. God is at the center of the soul, and his work originates there and moves outward. These are deep inspirations of the will that may be so strong that they boil over into the mind, or into emotions such as weeping, or jumping for joy, or utter humiliation, or an overwhelming feeling of love. These are gifts of life and of truth and of love, gifts that Satan cannot and would not imitate.
