Transcript For Strip 1397

Panel 1
Exterior view of Eva Jeanne. The gas giant Roxanne looms large in the background.
Elric (from ship): You're putting us in danger as well! Zytemonde has defenses.
Zander: I know. I also know the time it takes those defenses to lock on to target at distance.
Zander: We can keep popping around outside the planetary Oresme shield until I'm ready to fire.
Panel 2
On the bridge, Elric, Zander, and Bok.
Elric: Bok, we have to stop him!
Bok: I'm not certain we should. They must have upgraded their Oresme shields.
Bok: Otherwise Alyss could have escaped.
Panel 3
Elric, Zander and Bok
Elric: Can't you just destroy the shield generators?
Zander: They're located in the same complex as the Central Intelligence mainframe.
Bok: Two birds, one stone.
Panel 4
Elric grabs Zander by his shirt, shaking him. Bok starts to react.
Elric: FOR GORT'S SAKE STOP THIS!
Zander: S-stop-p d-distrac-ting m-me!
Bok: Elric, no! You'll get us killed!
Panel 5
The three boys are locked in a tussle but then are surprised by a new voice addressing them.
Voice: Well, for crying out loud. I can't leave you guys alone for an hour before you're fighting each other.
Bok: Alyss?
Panel 6
Reverse view. On the screen is Alyss' avatar.
Alyss: Yes, it's me. More or less.
Alyss: I'm harder to kill than you seem to think.
