Transcript For Strip 1636

Panel 1
Hugo and Murphy continue down the corridor. Zombies walk by, still ignoring them.
Murphy: This is creepy as fuck.
Hugo: There doesn't seem to be any locus here. No control center.
Hugo: This doesn't make any sense.
Panel 2
They are standing near something that looks like an alcove within a great junction box, with a flashy-lighty panel. It has a recess in it large enough to insert a hand.
Muphy: Yeah. Why transmat us over here and then ignore us?
Hugo: Maybe I should risk interfacing with their network.
Murphy: Are you sure? It's probably advanced beyond the others'.
Panel 3
Hugo stands in the alcove, his hand inserted into the recess. His eyes are white.
Murphy: So, what are you seeing, Hugo?
Murphy: Can you get a schematic of the ship?
Murphy: Which way should we go?
Panel 4
Looking a bit down the corridor at Murphy as she notices the zombies standing on either side of the corridor, their backs against the walls, all pointing up the corridor. Hugo has disengaged from the alcove.
Hugo: That way.
Panel 5
Rear view of Hugo and Murphy walking along a corridor past pointing zombies. At the far end is a glowing fog, in which a dark human-sized form is barely visible. 'Present-Murphy' narrates from a cameo panel:
Present-Murphy: We walked on in silence for almost 5,000 seconds. Hugo seemed even more distracted than usual.
Past-Murphy: Well, looks like something different up ahead.
Panel 6
Hugo and Murphy in the foreground flank the full figure in the background emerging from the fog.
Murphy: Who -?
Hugo: That face -!
