## Prologue

The prologue takes place on a mysterious red planet before the events of the main arc. During the prologue, a three-eyed blue creature called Blue is being chased by a hooded red machine known as Master. Master momentarily captures Blue and attempts to force them into submission, but Blue breaks free of the trance and defeats Master by ripping them apart. In a dying state, Master asks Blue whether they want to know how they were chosen. Later, the remains of a battlefield are shown. Blue re-purposes the leftover scrap metal into Godhead. Blue then flings Godhead out into space.

## Act I

The present arc begins on a mysterious blue planet. Godhead is a lonely deity who is encouraged by his personal assistant CoWi to make friends, but to no avail, as his Planet Finder only ever turns up zero populated planets. Godhead resorts to playing a customized version of The Sims called The Simz. After he makes irreversible mistakes playing the game, he decides to combine the game with a video player application with the hopes of reversing time. However, his attempt to do so causes his computer to crash. This forces him to return to a familiar planet in order to find the necessary machine component to fix his computer.

After Godhead fixes his computer, CoWi informs him that the Planet Finder has finally located at least one populated planet, which turns out to be the planet Earth. At this new piece of information, Godhead transforms into a miniature ball and tries to land on Earth, wherein he sees Walnut, 3 years of age at the time, and her sister Lisa Sharp who is 5, about to part with their father.

Lisa Sharp is in grief with her father parting ways with them, her father not even looking back at them, while Walnut notices something wrong with her toy angel. Walnut is quick to start running after the wagon taking her father away, her sister staying behind in suspended grief. Walnut, Smiling and tripping on the run-up, her father smiles and leaps from the wagon he’s in, about getting flattened due to the chains keeping him connected to the cart.

He snaps the chains between the wagon wheels and is quick to greet his daughter, both are in childish glee. They hug one another. Walnut motions the toy angel to him, as he has the missing wing to it. He carefully repairs it and sends it gently floating in the air, Walnut watching in wonder as it flutters for 5 seconds then she gently catches it in her hands.

She makes the mistake of looking back and seeing her father’s limp body being throw into the back of the wagon by two white men.

Walnut then sees Minihead shooting from the sky at a rapid pace, CoWi also taking notice that it's going to hit Walnut as well. She quickly grabs the Simz UI and combines it with the Planet Finder to quickly pause the setting. They are both at a loss of what to do, they don't want to kill the alien girl. CoWi suggests moving her but Godhead says no and moves her away. She stretches over and suggests to skip that part, shooing one of Godhead's giant hands that moved her away. Godhead disagrees fully but CoWi is quick to fast forward the viewport, sending the earth spinning several rotations into the future.

We forward to see an older Walnut and Lisa Sharp, picking cotton along with the rest of the slaves, Minihead now positioned to aim over Walnut's head. Miscalculating and surprised, Walnut stands up with a piece of cotton, and Minihead slams straight into her head. Lisa Sharp comes to look at her sister to see if she's ok as Walnut shoots up from the cotton shrubs, holding up Minihead excitedly, her "people" have come back to take her back to the sky.

This becomes a present issue with Godhead and CoWi. Walnut having recognized the Minihead from when she was young, thinks that the vessel is here to take her home. CoWi suggests going back, but Godhead says NO to dead children, none of that. They then agree to clear the air, right a misunderstanding. Before that though, Lisa Sharp is quick to argue with her sibling as there are no others in the sky except for clouds and God, Walnut counter argues with there is no God, and Lisa Sharp proceeds to slap her.

Godhead does not like this Lisa Sharp, shes mean to Walnut and doesn't want to be around her, nor Walnut to be around her. CoWi is frustrated with Godhead's lack of social skills (as he's been alone for millennia) and tries to reason with him, but ends up having to come up with the idea's of what to write about, as the use of symbols and gestures is "really more appropriate anyway,".

The suggestions end on to ">kill lisa sharp!!!11!" but as Godhead said, NO to dead children. CoWi then suggests drawing in the sky with the vessel, as it emits light. Godhead reluctantly agrees, combining the Planet Finder Simz UI with Alien MSpaint.

CoWi gets a hold on writing down what they want to say as Godhead is being a baby about not having a good drawing, but they both realize she doesn't know their language.

Walnut surprisingly interprets the message opposite of the point they were trying to get across and responds quite accurately in Godhead's and CoWi's native language. Lisa Sharp is, again, quick to argue and fight with her sister as that the Devil is in the ball and she doesn't want Walnut playing with it. Walnut loses hold of Minihead as it falls to the ground. Godhead is miserable and CoWi tries to amp him up, make himself seen, try to maybe move the ball in front of the pair of fighting siblings. He instead causes an earthquake.

The others, feeling the earthquake, starting to get quite worried as The Overseer would be cross with them over it. They talk about what The Overseer has done to them, about their hand or hands being cut off. Ole' Johnny Boy then says, when things aren't looking up, they pray through song and everyone joins in on singing the Hummin' Hymn. Lisa Sharp is quite cross with this and covers her ears with Walnut's hands as Walnut gets reminded of something that was like this in her sky world.

Godhead frustrated that no one is paying attention to him, asks CoWi for help, and leave it to CoWi to start a party.

Start CoWi Party, the first Sound/Flash Page of the comic.

Since everyone is already singing the Hummin' Hymn, CoWi transforms into DJ!CoWi and starts up some sick turntables, the music emitting from Minihead. Lisa chases her little sister, still angered by a plethora of things, and ends up falling into a big fault made by the earthquake, disappearing for most of the Sound Page. Walnut continues to play with Minihead as he emits music, and everyone else starts to notice the little girl with the weird rock. They start dancing along with Walnut, Johnnyboy picking up Walnut to hold her in the air. Godhead sees he’s mighty popular now and is happy, turning on a light show application and the lights start a show from the Minihead. Walnut, unknowingly, unscrews Minihead’s eye socket revealing the wiring, and accidentally electrocutes everyone. Meanwhile, looming over everything is the Overseer’s tower. He sheaths his blade, hearing the commotion out in the field and goes out to see whats going on.

At the end of the Sound Page, we see Lisa’s hand raise from the fault and Godhead pauses everything upon seeing the mean girl’s hand, CoWi is not pleased he ruined the party. Lisa Sharp grabs her sister and pulls her into the cotton bushes, demanding that Walnut hand it over and to shut up. Walnut is then reminded, when keeping Minihead away from Lisa, about a time on her planet when she didn’t like the black, grey, and brown rocks hitting her and she wanted out. She proceeds to show how her people say ‘hello’ and zaps her, her sister, and the innocent cotton around her.
