Transcript For Strip 1067

Panel 1
Li is standing with Nigel and Buford, who are now back on their two legs. The Beltapes are each wearing a high-tech-looking version of the back-support girdles commonly worn by warehouse workers.
Li: Since Beltapes were engineered for working in low-gravity environments, and we don't have time for extensive surgery, these braces will help you stay upright on Terra.

Panel 2
Nicole approaches Li, who is still addressing the two Beltapes
Li: They will restrict your movement a bit, but that can't be helped.
Nicole: Uh, this gravity isn't doing my back much good, either.
Nicole: Can I get one of those back-braces?
Panel 3
Li pats Nicole on the cheek. She does not look happy.
Li: Sorry, sweetie, but the best thing for you is to let those steroids and nannites I gave you earlier do their work.
Li: Your body evolved in 9.8 gravs, after all. You'll be fine.
Panel 4
Pan the frame to include Murphy, who is looking impatient.
Murphy: Enough gabbing. We have a mad scientist to rescue.
Li: First, we have four days of intensive training, or we're the ones who will need rescuing.
