Prev: << Unraveling the Upstarts | Storyline: Emergent Behavior | Next: Absolute Reckoning >> |
The dialogue in the first panel was originally from the Schism: Handhold MegaBrawl. It was added here in order to improve the continuity of the story.
Megabrawl Story: The Schism: Handhold | |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Help from Above|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: This is even worse than I suspected -- -- Worse than even Shimmerstorm led me to believe! |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Help from Above|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: She brought me here from the 80s to show me that The Schism was not just a threat in my time. -- Show me that The Schism is a threat to this reality's very existence! |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/The Schism: Handhold|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: It is tearing its way into our reality through holes in at least three different points in the timeline. Agents have done their best to create that hole in this time -- |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/The Schism: Handhold|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: The actions -- sometimes necessary actions -- have created openings in other times. But we are going to need everyone to focus on the task at hand. |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Team Spirit|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | The Crime Blotter: Did someone say "everyone"? Devastatrix: This is not the time for personal differences! |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Team Spirit|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | The Southside Sentry: Let's slap this hand back to where it came from! Shimmerstorm: And hope we are all ready for when and where the rest of it tries to come through. |
Beginning of Issue | |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Cover Fire|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: Welcome to the frying pan! The proverbial fire is right behind me. |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Cover Fire|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: The Schism is grinding Hong Kong beneath its heel. At a critical point in the history of what you know as The Genesis Squadron. |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Cover Fire|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: The person you know as Moxie's powers have just emerged. And there are forces in play trying to capture her ... again. |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Cover Fire|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: You have been brought back further in the timeline to help save her ... ... and for your experience fighting The Schism. |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Cover Fire|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: I am going to put out this grease fire over here. You find Moxie. |

Beginning of Fight: The Three Harmonies | |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Close to the Chest|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Genesis Squadron Member: Hard to blame them for wanting a do-over. The pair of them are grotesque mosaic experiments far removed from their human origins. |

[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Arch Villainy|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: If there is a later. If The Schism manages to make it through into our reality... |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Last Stand|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: Then we may very well end up having never existed. The Genesis Squadron was formed to prepare for another threat. |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Welcome Wagon|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: But they have barely had time to get to know each other. Much less how to work as a team. |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Schism: Footfall|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: We need to find every able body to join this battle. And if we can somehow overcome pretty steep odds... |
[[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Cover Fire|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Aloysius Zeroth: ...You will live long enough to carry a grudge. |
