The Four are government-sanctioned and work to actively suppress the true beauty and complexity of the world. This offer is what convinced Elijah Snow to join Planetary. In some cases, it appears that they too, like the Four, are working to keep these mysteries to themselves. To say that Planetary is compelling is an understatement.

Planetary wants to change that. Its very name evokes a, well, planetary outlook and consciousness. There's no mistaking Jakita Wagner's exhilaration before a sunset or her pleasure at seeing an unknown giant creature fly free.
