Transcript For Strip 1015
Panel 1The girls enter a large room filled with high-tech equipment. Nicole looks around in wonder.
Nicole: Wow! This all looks … state-of-the-art.

Panel 2
Nicole glances up at a nearby monitor, full of graphs and charts.
Nicole: So we can access the Network from here?
Murphy: Yes – this system uses the same distributed-node technology that Hernandez and his pirate/rebels were using.
Panel 3
Nicole and Murphy stand before a console.

Nicole: Easy as pie.

Nicole: I should have said, 'easy as phi.'
Panel 6
Medium closeup on the girls as they gaze up at the monitor. Nicole has two fingers pressed to a temple.

Panel 7
Nicole is intrigued, and Murphy is dismissive.
Nicole: Strange, but interesting.
Murphy: Strange, but purely coincidental.
Panel 8
