![]() Jor-El's hesitation allows Brainiac to summon a squad of security guards, advising them to use deadly force against him. Jor-El is tempted to destroy him then and there, but Brainiac reminds him that if he goes, so does the planet's legacy. According to his programming, the survival of Krypton's knowledge is more important than that of its people. Confronted, Brainiac fully admits that he lied so that he wouldn't be ordered by the Science Council to waste time preparing an evacuation plan, as the planet will be destroyed in hours. The AI is in the middle of secretly downloading himself into a satellite to escape the planet's destruction. When he breaks into Satellite Coms himself when Brainiac tries to deny him entry, he discovers that he is correct, and Brainiac knows it. ![]() Heading to Brainiac Operations to check why the AI disagrees with him, he becomes suspicious when Brainiac won't allow him to check what Brainiac's task is inside Satellite Coms. In spite of Brainiac, Jor-El still believes he's right. Jor-El warns the council that their blind dependence on the machine will doom them all, but the council is openly outraged when they hear his rescue plan: to send the entire population into the Phantom Zone-a penal dimension housing vicious criminals and creatures-and then have one person travel to a different planet and release them later. The council turns to Brainiac, who dismisses Jor-El's findings and explains that Krypton is only undergoing a slight polar shift. Jor-El reports his findings to Krypton's ruling council, insisting that the planet's core is undergoing a mounting chain reaction that will destroy it soon. Jor-El tries to explain his findings to the Kryptonian Science Council. As he says this, an earthquake rocks Krypton, worrying the populace. Jor-El's only hope, Sul-Van warns, is that Brainiac will support his theory, or else his career will be over. His father-in-law, Sul-Van, warns him that his theory will only cause Jor-El to lose the respect of the scientific community, and the ruling council. Later, he goes over the data and it only supports his theory that Krypton is on the verge of destruction. His research complete, Jor-El heads home. Jor-El angrily complies, but his bad mood is dispelled by the appearance of his infant son, Kal-El. ![]() While working, Brainiac, Krypton's omniscient central computer, appears on screen and demands for his collected data. He manages to escape the creature and returns to his mobile research platform. He is suddenly attacked by a giant amoeba-like creature. On the distant planet of Krypton, Jor-El conducts research in the desolate northern region.
