 * Katma Tui: [door opens, footsteps, door closes, footsteps] John, you home? I had some business to take care of on Titan and of course I felt the need to swing by, I hope you’re hungry; I have really been wanting to try my hand at the recipe for rabbit stew your friend Dinah gave me [chuckle. Footsteps] Yes, Ch'p had some objections of us eating rodent, but these rabbits of Earth are non-sentient, yes? [chuckle, footsteps] John, would you answer me? I know you’re here. [footsteps] My ring detects another ring in the apartme- [silence]
 * Sinestro: It’s not John’s ring…
 * Katma Tui: Thaal!
 * Sinestro: Katma…
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming] What have you done with John?
 * Sinestro: Absolutely nothing.
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming] Where is he?
 * Sinestro: In the region the Earthlings call Khandaq. It’s in the Middle East. Very volatile area.
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming] I know of it.
 * Sinestro: Yes… I forget, you have become familiar with this planet, haven’t you?
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming] Thaal Sinestro, by order of the Guardians of the Universe, I hereby place you under arrest. Surrender your power ring at once or be met with hostile-
 * Sinestro: Do no threaten mi Katma, I have come to bargain.
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming] Nothing you have could possibly interest me.
 * Sinestro: Stopping the Blackest Night doesn’t interest you?
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming] Not since I was a child. I don’t believe in such fiction.
 * Sinestro: You sound like a younger me… But allow me to educate you, Tui. It does exist. It is coming. There is only one thing that stops it.
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming, scoff] Let me guess? Parallax?
 * Sinestro: In a fashion… Parallax knows a way to stop the Blackest Night, but Parallax cannot do it alone.
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming] Get to the point Sinestro.
 * Sinestro: There is a being of immense power locked away in a unique prison by an ancient force. It could stop the Blackest Night but to so there must be sacrifices. These sacrifices will serve to weaken its prison and increase its power. We must align our universe against the will of fate. We must challenge the natural order.
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming] Parallax has truly ravaged your mind, Thaal. Listen to you…
 * Sinestro: [sigh] You dismiss it as you fear the unknown… A shame, I though you of all would understand, Katma. For what comes next, know I want you to know I did not wish it had to be this way. I searched for other path, but this must be done.
 * Katma Tui: [Lantern ring thrumming] That’s enough. Surrender the ring or- [rapid footsteps, Lantern ring thrumming]
 * Sinestro: [Lantern ring blast, debris scattered, rapid footsteps, Lantern ring thrum, flesh cutting, pained gasp, flesh rending, thud] Take comfort knowing that in death, you will be canonized. Your ring will go to a valiant member of my new Corps.
 * Katma Tui: [pained gasp, pained moan] Over my dead body. Ring, omega protocol.
 * Sinestro: [gasp] No! Katma, wait! [Lantern ring thrumming, explosion]
