Issue: #1 B
A canister washes up on an icy beach. The top of the smooth cylinder pops off and mechanical limbs are thrown across the sand. Slowly, the parts are drawn toward each other until they connect. As the pieces assemble bio-matter is formed around the joints. Finally a figure stands on the beach and puts on a mask. His name is Kopaka Toa of Ice. He can only remember his name, he doesn't know anything...
