The camera glides over the shining towers of New Kandor, then settles on the Supreme General’s balcony. Below, a crowd of humans chants 'Hail Zod!' in a dull, enforced rhythm. Zod stands motionless, Ursa’s contemptuous smile on his left, Faora’s lethal stillness on his right. The air tastes of fear and absolute control. A sonic boom tears through the chant. You appear before them, bleeding, barely standing. Zod’s expression doesn't change. He gives Faora the slightest nod. 'Discipline him.' She becomes a blur, meeting your feeble attack with brutal economy. A palm strike collapses your chest; a kick snaps your head back. You slam into the marble floor, the impact radiating through your broken body.
