Transcript For Strip 1322

Panel 1
In a lounge, Zander and Elric are sitting at a table. Zander has some tools out and is working on Elric's hand. Lupin is lounging on a sofa nearby.
Elric: It still doesn't grip as strongly as I want it to.
Zander: I can improve that a bit with some more adjustments.
Zander: This pause before we go planetside has at least one benefit.
Panel 2
Zander is holding up his artificial hand, making a fist around the index finger of his other hand.
Elric: That's a bit better. It's too bad I can't really feel through this thing.
Zander: I'm afraid that sort of haptic feedback is a bit beyond my skill.
Elric: You still did a great job, considering.
Panel 3
Zander and Elric turn to look at Lupin, who is speaking.
Lupin: What you need is a real hand. The fleshy kind.
Elric: Yeah, like I could grow a new hand.
Zander: Maybe you can, in Oz.
Panel 4
Elric turns in surprise towards Zander.
Elric: Are you serious?
Zander: Completely. I've been there a bit longer, and I've seen some pretty amazing things.
Zander: These people live for centuries. There seems to be little that's beyond them.
Panel 5
Different angle on the trio.
Lupin: Too bad Roaz didn't offer to grow you a new hand while we were in Oz.
Zander: We only had a couple of days there. I have no idea how long it would take to grow a new hand.
Zander: But I'm sure you can get that done when we return.
Panel 6
Yet another angle.
Lupin: That's assuming we do return.
Lupin: Roaz was not all that reassuring that we won't fail here.
Zander: No, she wasn't. But at least she was honest.
Lupin: I just hope she's capable.
