Synopsis for "The Secret Of The Star Cycle!"

Green Lantern learns that all beings on M'Brai - the Savages, the Cormm, and the Queln - are part of the same species evolving cyclically: every individual progresses from single-celled organism all the way to Queln and beyond, and then repeat the cycle, without retaining any memory of it. Thus if the Queln use their devolving ray to get rid of the other factions, their entire race will become extinct. Green Lantern gets free from his prison, and prevents the warring factions from killing each other, until the Cormms arrive to put an end to assist him. Still, the Queln already launched their rocket, so Hal heads there and uses a meteor shower to destroy the satellite.

Still, Hal sees the dead on M'Brai progress on to the next evolutionary step, almost as if his intervention wasn't needed. He figures out that the meteor shower is in collision course to the planet, and it could disrupt its entire life cycle. Hal deviates the meteors, succeeding in his mission.

Synopsis for "The Choice!"

The people of Glirell are under attack from the Drellite. Jeryll, the Green Lantern of that sector who received a warning to not use her ring for violence, attempts to stop the invasion peacefully. However, one of the invading ships slaughters a group of kids, and the people of Glirell, who are not equipped for war, start to fight back against the Drellite. Jeryll stops the suicide charge of her people, and she realizes the she is the one that has to fight. So Jeryll flies to the Drellite fleet and destroys all their ships, while deep inside she takes joy in it.

In the aftermath, the council of Glirell tell her that she is forgiven, and won't be banished. But Jyrell bids farewell to his people and leaves voluntarily, feeling she betrayed the peaceful ways of her people. Thus, she leaves behind her home planet to find her place among the stars.
