Deadman[]
"Talaoc's Tale"
Talaoc pontificates atop the Mayan pyramid. Deadman tries to explain to him that their unique conditions stems from the same source, but Talaoc has no interest in his words. Instead, he attacks him. As the two fight, Talaoc soon realizes that he is in fact a ghost. He ceases his attack against Deadman and tells him how visitors from the sky came to his village more than five-hundred years ago. They bequeathed to him the power to shake loose the mortal coil, thus promoting Talaoc's claim as the God of War. He tells Deadman that these visitors possessed strange weaponry that still exists today. Deadman gets a bad feeling about this and brings Talaoc back to the pyramid. He finds that Grace Kasaba and her CIA cronies have uncovered the ruins of an ancient space craft inside the pyramid. They find a cache of hi-tech weaponry. Suddenly, a piercing whine emanates from inside the pyramid.
