ARGO CITY AND REVEALS THE inside of a domed city honeycombed with fantastic arches. The city is inhabited by young beautiful people in luxurious but simple costumes. THE CAMERA ROAMS through the City, observing some people seated at a kind of cafe sipping drinks and relaxing; other people are in some kind of exercise class doing beautiful graceful movement; and finally a class of five year old children listen intently to a teacher who is demonstrating a molecular model. TEACHER And now, who can give me the electron wave functions for Kryptonian covalent bonding? The five year olds eagerly raise their hands. The teacher points to one. CHILD The cube root of the wavelength over the natural log of the integral of the speed of light squared. The teacher smiles. TEACHER Well, maybe that was a bit too easy... THE CAMERA ROAMS ON through the city, following the sound of a strange, ethereally beautiful singing. The CAMERA discovers the source of the sound: an ARTIST sculpting a beautiful crystalline object with a MATTERWAND. The wand makes the singing noise as it creates matter out of energy. The Artist, whose name is ZALTAR, sometimes whistles along in counterpoint. . A small girl is watching him with fascination. Her name is Kara, and she is seven.
