Jesse Rath: Querl Dox

Quotes 

• Alex Danvers : We couldn't reach you on comms. What happened? Are you all right?

  Querl Dox : I traced Rama Khan's energy trail here.

  Supergirl : I have to find Lena.

  Alex Danvers : What did Rama Khan do?

  Supergirl : It wasn't him. It was Lena. She knew.

  Alex Danvers : She knew what?

  Supergirl : My identity. She's known for months. Lex told her, and she hates me for it.

• Alex Danvers : Hey, did you find Lena? What was she doing in Lex's bunker?

  Supergirl : Brainy, can you get some line of communication to a bunker three miles below the Norquay mountain range?

  Querl Dox : Yes, but depending on the processing power...

  Alex Danvers : Okay, stop. Just tell me right now, when did Lex tell Lena your identity? And why was she attacking you in the Fortress? What the hell is going on?

  Supergirl : It was after Shelley Island.

  Alex Danvers : But Lex died there.

  Supergirl : No, he didn't. He portaled somehow to a safe house, where... where Lena shot him. She killed him to protect me, to protect all of us. But before he died, he told her.

  Alex Danvers : She's been lying to us for months. Okay, so why attack you now?

  Supergirl : So she could steal Myriad from the Fortress.

• Querl Dox : Lena's in Mount Norquay.

  Alex Danvers : Mount Norquay is one of Lex's old hideouts.

  [Kara moves to leave] 

  Alex Danvers : Where are you going?

  Supergirl : To fix this.

• Alex Danvers : Lena stole Myriad?

  Supergirl : It's how I tracked her to Norquay, but I don't think this is what it looks like. She saved me from Rama Khan in the Fortress. And even at Lex's bunker, the cannons were loaded with kryptonite, but she didn't use them. I can still fix this. I can get through to her if I could just talk to her. Brainy, can you get me in there?

  Querl Dox : We could harness the Kryptonian cache crystals we have here to covertly project a hologram beam into her bunker.

  Supergirl : Great.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, if not for mind control over the population, then why would Lena need Myriad?

  J'onn J'onzz : [phasing in]  I think I might know.

  Alex Danvers : [Malefic phases in next to him]  Malefic.

• Alex Danvers : Okay, first, how did you escape the Phantom Zone?

  Malefic J'onzz : I didn't escape. I was never there. When the Phantom Zone projector hit me at the planetarium, I went directly to Ms. Luthor's lab.

  J'onn J'onzz : Lena was the one who helped Brainy fix the Phantom Zone projector. She must have changed the end coordinates.

  Supergirl : But what did she need you for?

  Malefic J'onzz : Mind control. She was experimenting with my ability to incept.

  Querl Dox : If Lena can harness Malefic's Q-waves and merge them with the power of Myriad's distribution, the results would be unprecedented. Worldwide total control in an instant.

• Querl Dox : I've analyzed security footage of the appearance of the shadow and of the object she was carrying. It's called the Staff of the Shadow World. It is an artifact associated with ancient Mesopotamians, but can also be found in Herculaneum. I juxtaposed our image with historical images of Rama Khan, and voila. The two were last seen in the ancient city-state of Pompeii.

  J'onn J'onzz : That's concerning.

  Querl Dox : Indeed. Especially as it seems the energy given off by the staff can be found in one other place in National City. The building where we assumed Leviathan was hiding.

  Supergirl : That's across the street from the Tar Pits.

  Querl Dox : It's also the site of a dormant supervolcano. The last eruption was in the early Cenozoic Era, and was 10,000 times more powerful than Pompeii.

  J'onn J'onzz : Rama Khan's an Earth-Bender.

  Supergirl : So he's trying to recreate Pompeii in National City.

  Querl Dox : Pompeii times 10,000.

• Querl Dox : Malefic's Q-wave energy output is just shy of the power we need to stop Myriad.

  Alex Danvers : Is there any way to up the power?

  Querl Dox : [thinking]  We can turn off our psychic inhibitors.

  Alex Danvers : Don't even joke about that.

  Querl Dox : I'm not joking. The inhibitors absorb 6% of Malefic's energy output, or 4,000 terawatts. If we want to increase his power by the necessary 6%, we have to remove the inhibitors from the equation. It's basic math.

  Alex Danvers : I will not expose my agents to that risk.

  Querl Dox : That assumes there is a risk. J'onn said his brother has changed.

• Supergirl : What's going on?

  Querl Dox : There's been a perimeter breach.

  J'onn J'onzz : Do we have a location?

  Alex Danvers : Negative.

  Acrata : [appearing in a wisp of smoke]  Help! Rama Khan is coming. He's gonna destroy the...

  [she screams as she's pulled backward and disappears in another wisp of smoke] 

• Alex Danvers : If Claymore is launched, what are our odds?

  Querl Dox : 98% chance Myriad will be neutralized, and a .01% chance Lena will surrender, which makes it a virtual certainty Lena will not survive.

  Alex Danvers : And if we use Malefic?

  Querl Dox : Our odds shift slightly. 86% chance we will stop Myriad and a 0% chance Lena will be harmed.

  Alex Danvers : Lock Claymore in position, and prep Malefic. But, Brainy, you let him know that if he so much as smiles, I will have a dozen agents and their guns pointed directly at his heart.

• Supergirl : You don't have to use Claymore.

  J'onn J'onzz : We think we can use Malefic's Q-waves to counteract Lena's, stop her from using Myriad.

  Querl Dox : Theoretically, he is correct.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, you want me to use a known threat to stop an imminent one? Handing over a global Q-wave projector to a terrorist? What if Malefic just decides to change his mind once we free him?

  Supergirl : He's changed.

  Alex Danvers : But you don't know that for sure. And between Lena and-and Rama Khan gearing up for Pompeii 2.0, the last thing that I need is a third catastrophe.
