After the Credits…

Back in the dimension of Earth 2…

Floating above the planet, there are many deactivated satellites. Years earlier when Venjix first took control of the planets defense systems, many nations deactivated what they could before Venjix seized control. Many were successful. Many were not.

Since then, it has been a graveyard of discarded tech orbiting around the planet. Since the final battle with Venjix a year earlier, Corinth has launched three new satellites, all for better communications with their sister cities spread across the globe. With the threat of Venjix completely gone, those smaller pocket cities begin to emerge to aid in the rebuilding of the Earth.

One particular satellite, one of the many, suddenly hums to life. The solar panels attached to it have finally absorbed enough power to activate its back up functions. Unlike the other satellites, this one was launched into space from the Asgard, a mere hour before the warship was destroyed by Marcus Truman, and the twins, Gem and Gemma.

The satellite is no larger than a small compact car. It begins to shift as power is diverted into its systems. Inside the machine, a monitor flickers to life. Binary code begins to appear on the screen and begins to form a picture on the screen. The digits begin to show a digital representation of a skull and within moments, graphics are applied to give the digital skull a face.

Quincy Beck. Or as he was once simply known as, Doctor Q.

"It is time."

As a backup plan, Doctor Q did a digital map of his brain patterns and uploaded it into the software aboard this satellite. While Q may have been an egotistical genius, he was also precautious. If there was a slight variable of a chance that his plans would have been foiled, he wanted a chance of survival, even if it meant a digital representation of his will were to survive.

Using the Messiah software, created by his fellow Alphabet Soup scientists, he uploaded his conscious into one of the onboard satellites and launched it into orbit with a timer. That if the satellite was not recovered and deactivated within a certain time frame, the software would activate.

The digital Q begins to run a diagnostic of its systems. Within minutes he locates another abandoned Alphabet Soup facility, this one in the European Continent, in the ruins of what once was England. It will be another two hours before Q will in range of that facility.

A two hour wait. It can wait two hours. It has waited a year already.

Once it is able, it will take control of the facility. Create itself some mechanical grunts to do its bidding as it makes its plans for world domination. It will bring order to the ruined world beneath it. With Q's egotistical mind and the technology at its disposal, it will become more than Venjix ever was. A digital god.

"A whole world awaits," Q's electronic voice echoes throughout the satellite. Down upon the planet, the Alphabet Soup facility in England slowly comes to life. Monitors flicker on, and servers begin to hum. "A world for me to remake in my image."

Venjix was merely the beginning. The means to an end. Doctor Q's endgame begins here, right now. He had always seen himself above others. His peers and competitors. Even Doctor K. He had seen them as beneath him. And now although his physical body may be dead and gone, scattered to the winds by a nuclear explosion, the one thing that mattered the most, survived.

His conscious.

"I have plans. Grand plans," the satellite's cameras turn and focuses on the blue globe beneath it. Q's electronic eye focuses on the coordinates where Corinth City resides. No one was aware of his final play. To the Covenant, the government and to the Rangers, he is dead. Gone.

Their mistake.

It is not a bluff. Q indeed had made many plans. Insidious plans. And while he is dead, his conscious will make sure that those plans are carried out.

"My time is now. They are unaware. By the time that they do come aware... it will be too late. I will rule over them all... as their god... their Messiah."
