Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : Director Dox, long time, no see. I come bearing gifts, a pysanka. Gifted to me by a Ukrainian holy man on my world tour. It brings love and wealth, and of course, fertility.

  Querl Dox : Does it also bring the end of Leviathan? You were meant to have gotten the location of their ship so we can implant the mortality code.

  Lex Luthor : I can't push them.

  Querl Dox : This delay doesn't have anything to do with you using Obsidian Platinum for your own ends, does it? Alex Danvers called me. She wants me to help her track Obsidian users she believes are being lured into some type of coma. By you.

  Lex Luthor : While it is utterly predictable that Alex Danvers would call you, it's not me behind your missing users, it's Leviathan. Scout's honor. I found out from Gemma Cooper.

  Querl Dox : Then help me find them. You have the Q-wave cube from Winn's ship. I can use it to track the lenses, find the missing people.

  Lex Luthor : Ah, well, I gave the cube to Lena. And if you involved her, Leviathan would kill her. And as much as I'd like to help you, I can't. Leviathan would find out, and then I'd be their enemy. And as you know, the long-term success of our plan relies on me being the opposite. But, by all means, you should help them. I know how important your friends are to you.

  Querl Dox : Okay. Lex, how shall I help them? There's nothing at the DEO that could track Q-waves.

  Lex Luthor : Why don't you ask Supergirl? I'm sure there's something at that fortress of hers that could help.

• Alex Danvers : Hey, any luck with the warehouse?

  Supergirl : It was empty.

  J'onn J'onzz : I was able to pick up Richard Bates' psychic signal, along with dozens of other people in that warehouse. But when I tried to connect, there was some kind of interference.

  Querl Dox : [entering]  It's because Obsidian is adding Platinum users by the minute. The lenses interface with the brain by using Q-waves, which operate on a similar frequency as Malefic's Martian brain.

  J'onn J'onzz : Just as I can't connect to Mal, I can't find those missing people.

  Querl Dox : You can connect with them... by using Myriad. Lena wanted to use Myriad to disperse her Q-wave mind control, but if you turn it on in reverse, it will compress the Q-waves in the atmosphere, making it possible for you to track the psychic signatures.

  Supergirl : And it wouldn't be dangerous?

  Querl Dox : In your hands, no.

  Supergirl : Then I'll go. But I don't like it.

• Alex Danvers : Supergirl? Supergirl, are you there?

  J'onn J'onzz : The Sun-Eater must've absorbed her power.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, well, we need to save her. Like, now.

  Querl Dox : We can use a Lexosuit from the DEO. If we recalibrate the suit's internal radiation to 1,000 watts per meter, it will act like a mini sunlight chamber. We'll get it and bring it to the Fortress.

  J'onn J'onzz : [surprised to see M'gann land behind them]  M'gann?

  M'gann M'orzz : J'onn, your brother felt the Q-waves on Mars and sent me. My ship is armed with hydrogen weapons we can use to stop the Sun-Eater.

  J'onn J'onzz : Han Solo never looked so good.

  Querl Dox : That was a "Star Wars" reference.

  Alex Danvers : I know it. I know. Yeah.

• Alex Danvers : Why is this taking so long?

  Querl Dox : It takes several minutes for Myriad to suppress the Q-waves long enough for J'onn to see clearly.

  Alex Danvers : [hearing the Sun-Eater's roar]  What is that?

  J'onn J'onzz : A Sun-Eater.

  Querl Dox : That's impossible. The only one in the system...

  [realizing] 

  Querl Dox : ...is the baby from the Fortress of Solitude.
