Synopsis
The Pigts' aardvark idol starts to crumble at the left ear, the Pigts start to riot. Cerebus is now traveling thru stormy clouds. Punisheroach runs from the Cirinists. The Cirinists start excuting people.
Mr. Hammond and Mrs. Copps talk about the construction of the mold for the gold sphere that is to be used for Cirin's Ascension. Mrs. Copps needs the sphere enlarged. Punisheroach realizes that he has an automatic crossbow and starts killing Cirinists. Elrod appears (still in his Bunky the Albino outfit) and tries to get in past the quarantine. Astoria appears in jail and a ball of light appears to her telling her she won't be there much longer.
Two Judges appear on the moon and start arguing. The Elf appears and so does her duplicate. Cerebus ends up in the Seventh Sphere.

Annotations
- When Mrs. Thatcher and Mr. Hammond discuss the measurements of the gold sphere for Cirin, they both use metric units: i.e. meters, centimeter and millimeter.
- 1: This may be connected with Cerebus' dream of an injured ear in issue 89, pages 6-7. (Alexx)
- 6 The fellow with the beard is king K'Cor, who hasn't been seen since issue 38. (Alexx)
- 8: Cirin is clearly still working on the ascension, although she seems to be making the same mistake that an earlier would-be redeemer made (see 91, pgs.4-5). (Alexx)
- 46 meters across gives the sphere a radius of 23 meters. The number 23 has frequent mystic associations, both in Cerebus and elsewhere. (Alexx)
- 10: Note the soles of his shoes. Also note that these are clearly fully-automatic crossbows. The Roach probably calls them "semi-automatic" because he thinks it sounds cooler. (Alexx)
- 13: Yes, that's the general in the lower left hand corner. (Alexx)
