TRIALS 262 IMAGEPACK TRIAL

When the Big Bang occurred and the new universe was created, a lone ship also emerged from the beginning. When Taa was in the throws of a deadly plague, Galan and the last survivors of his world flew into the heart of Taa's nearby sun where they hoped to die in a blaze of glory. Odin recounts how Galactus was once merely a man named Galen who lived on the planet Taa, a world that existed in the universe prior to this one. Odin is called to recount what he knows about the origins of Galactus. With Reed's testimony, Johnny returns with the first witness: Odin, the All-Father of Asgard. He goes on to explain that Galactus exists as a higher order in the greater good of the universe, carrying out some king of task beyond the ken of mere mortals. He goes on to explain his first encounter with Galactus and how he learned that the cosmic being was beyond good and evil and only consumed worlds to prolong his own existence.

When given a chance to clarify what he means, Reed says he is guilty of sparing the life of Galactus, the point of the trial is to determine if doing so was a crime. Reed shocks all gathered by saying that he is guilty of sparing the life of Galactus. With that said, he has Reed Richards defend himself first. With the witness testimony given, the Watcher tries to tell those gathered that Galactus serves a greater purpose in the universe. When John and the rest of the Fantastic Four express their concern, the Watcher explains that he is gathering up a defense for Reed. As the trial drags on, the Watcher tells the Human Torch that he has a task he wishes the youth to under take, and Johnny agrees to do it and is promptly teleported away. Lilandra then calls upon witness after witness to testify about the atrocities Galactus has committed on world upon world. Thinking to himself, Reed is consumed with guilt over the loss of life thanks to his decision, but still believes that allowing Galactus to die was not right. First to the stand is the Skrull survivor Karant Kair who explains how Galactus came to the homeworld of the Skrulls and consumed it, wiping out billions of his people as a result of Reed sparing the life of Galactus. The alien explains that they measure the spectators collective feelings about the trial and that should they all turn white, it is a sign that those gathered to watch have found Reed guilty. One of the aliens calls Ben's attention to the strange glowing globes above the court. When Lilandra calls the trial to begin, the Thing wonders how a jury will be able to reach a decision. She mentions how Lilandra appeared before them one night and warned Reed that he would be put to task if Galactus consumed another inhabited world after he spared the life of the eater of worlds. Sue goes on to point out that the head of the trial is Empress Lilandra, the leader of the Shi'ar. John is taken to Sue, Ben and Johnny who tell him that Reed is being put on trial for sparing the life of Galactus. Suddenly they appear in the middle of the Galactic Tribunal's trial for the live of Reed Richards. As they speed through the cosmos, the Watcher tells John that the coming events are of such cosmic significance that a chronicler will be needed to record the events later.

As John hangs up the phone he is suddenly visited by the Watcher, who quickly teleports John away before his wife gets home. John then calls the Baxter Building, but his call is answered by the FF's robotic receptionist Roberta, who informs John that the Fantastic Four are still away. Despite the desperate need, John informs Mike that he hasn't heard from the Fantastic Four in a while, but wants another 24 hours to try and get a hold of the group to learn of their current adventures before giving up and writing a made up story.
