(Killpower: tEY#1) -
Killpower was sent back to 2950 BC by the Time Guardian, in order
to locate part of the Chronifact. Rama-Tut duped Killpower into
believing Samira was attacking them, and then agreed to help
Killpower if he would destroy Samira. Killpower traveled to
Samira's pyramid, where she detected him, ensnared him with
magical tentacles, and brought him before her. Samira thought to
enhance the mind of Julius (or Joo-Lee-Us) to make it the equal
of his body, so that he might be the perfect consort for her.
When Killpower accused her of attacking him before, she revealed
that it had been a plot of Rama-Tut, and then agreed to send
Killpower to punish him for his actions
(Kp:tEY#2) - Samira traveled to Rama-Tut's base to meet with the
Genetix, who had been sent into the past by Oonagh Mullarkey to
rescue Killpower. Killpower, having obtained the portion of the
Chronifact he had originally sought, had been sent to the distant
past by the Time Guardian to obtain the other part. Samira sent
the Genetix to that same time to help him. She also gave them a
vial containing a potion that would enhance Julius' mind.
However, Vesper dropped the vial shortly after arriving in the
past.
After Samira returned to her pyramid, Rama-Tut analyzed some of
the energy residue left by her time portal, which apparently
assisted him in repairing his own damaged time machine.
(Kp:tEY#4) - In the distant future, the Genetix found the vial
that Vesper had dropped hours (or several million years) before.
Samira sensed that they had found the vial and mentally
contracted Julius, convincing him to drink the fluid. After
drinking it, Julius finally managed to tap into his
mecha-psychometry, which allowed him to instantly understand and
work with or build almost any type of machinery. Utilizing this
ability, Julius built a weapon that turned the mutates, that had
been attacking him and his allies, into immaterial wraiths. Now
safe from the wraiths, the Time Guardian was able marshal his
powers and to return to his realm, and then return Killpower and
the Genetix to their own time as well.
When Killpower arrived back in Dr. Mullarkey's lab, Samira told
him that his whole memory had been restored, but recommended he
keep their meeting a secret.
