Earth's gravity is weaker, yet its atmosphere is more nourishing. Your cells have drunk in its radiation, strengthening your muscles, your skin, your senses.
My soul– that is what you have taken from me! That is the sole purpose for which I was born, and every action I take, no matter how violent or how cruel, is for the greater good of my people. We could have built a new Krypton in this squalor, but you choose the humans over us. If you destroy this ship, YOU DESTROY KRYPTON!.Tell me, you have Jor-El's memories, his conscience, can you experience his pain? I will harvest the Codex from your son's corpse, and I will rebuild Krypton atop his bones.To Kal-El, I say this: surrender within twenty-four hours, or watch this world suffer the consequences. To those of you who may know of his current location: the fate of your planet rests in your hands. He will look like you, but he is not one of you. For reasons unknown, he has chosen to keep his existence a secret from you. I request that you return this individual to my custody.
For some time, your world has sheltered one of my citizens. I have journeyed across an ocean of stars to reach you. I will reclaim what you have taken from us! I will find him.
