Majestic #11

Issue Details

Synopsis

"Shapers of Destiny" Majestic and Zealot succeed in defeating 'Biomass' as Helspont tortures Desmond for the information stored inside the Planet-Shaper's databanks. Majestic and Zealot attack shortly after the Planet-Shaper releases the data, but Helspont is able to keep them busy just long enough for a three-dimensional holographic recording of the Planet-Shaper's history archives to play for all three. Helspont taunts them as they watch a molten planet soon visited by a Planet-Shaper similar to the one they are currently in. The next scene is a verdant grassland. Primitive representations of Titanthropes (the species of Maul from the Wildcats) and pure-blood Kherubim appear, revealing that the projection is the history of Khera. The computer's narration mentions how the Planet-Shaper produces both a servitor race (the Titanthropes) using local genetic material while also recreating pure-blood Kherubim using gene-stock stored in the Seeding Engine. The next scene shows Atlas constructs terrorizing innocent Titanthropes to prevent the pure Kherubim from being hindered in their development. Majestic is distraught over the recordings as Helspont reveals that the Daemonites were another servitor race created by the Seeding Engine, but that they were found to be unstable and deviant forcing the other races (Titans and Kherubims) to seek to wipe them out. After a short fight, Helspont disappears and leaves Majestic and Zealot alone next to Desmond's immobilized body, still attached to the Seeding Engine. The Desmond/Engine then mentions that the planet-Shaper has been placed on Stand-by mode by order of a Shaper's Guild contingent that just arrived on Earth, led by Majestic's old friend Javen.
