Transcript For Strip 1423
Panel 1Return to the flash-back scene. Hugo, Murphy and Eithne are seated around a table, with their drinks. Hugo and Murphy now holo-projecting normal clothing.
Caption (Hugo): 'So we sat down together and Eithne explained our situation ...'
Eithne: It's been three years since you guys last departed on a mapping mission.
Eithne: Gran'ma said you usually return after a year, or maybe two at most.
Panel 2
Another view, focused on Eithne.
Eithne: After two years went by, Gran'ma began to worry that something had gone wrong.
Eithne: Per your instructions, she fabbed your new bodies.
Eithne: With some upgrades we thought you'd appreciate. At least I hope so.
Panel 3
Another view of the same scene.
Eithne: Gran'ma got called away shortly after we started the process of downloading your stored personalities.
Eithne: It all seemed to go smoothly, but she said you should wait until she gets back to check you guys out thoroughly.
Panel 4
Hugo and Murphy.
Hugo: That could be quite a while, and I'm anxious to find out what happened to our previous selves.
Murphy: Barbara McCormick is a highly-skilled roboticist. Maybe we should wait?
Murphy: Besides, we don't have our starship, do we?
Panel 5
Shift focus to Eithne, looking slightly sheepish.
Eithne: Well …. you don't have the one you left in, but you do have one.
Eithne: I got bored, and well, you have such great facilities here.
Eithne: So, I built you a new one.
Panel 6
Eithne pouts as Hugo sneers at her. Murphy is kinder.
Hugo: Oh, sure, I see no problem going to an unexplored galaxy in a starship built by a child.
Murphy: Now, Hugo, she's about the same age Nicole was when she built the first Displacement Drive ships, remember?
Murphy: At least let's check it out.
