Transcript For Strip 1743
Panel 1Back at her office, Diana is taking off her coat before settling in to work.
Caption: Juan was late getting in to work on Primaday.
Caption: That wasn't particularly unusual. He often did weekend benders, and dragged-ass in first work-day.
Caption: I sometimes wondered whether he'd straighten up, if I gave him what he wanted.
Panel 2
Diana is seated at her desk, holding up the memchip Alyss had given her.
Caption: He's really not a bad person, or a bad employer.
Caption: He did save my life, after all, and more or less lost his old job on my account.
Caption: And he's never lied to me.
Panel 3
Diana places the chip into the reader on the left of her desktop keyboard.
Caption: I inserted the chip into the secure-reader, feeling surprisingly anxious.
Caption: Hayami turned out to be a colossal liar, first posing as a human on Zytemonde and then turning against Roaz, who had hired her.
Caption: What sort of dirt did the original investigation turn up on her?
Panel 4
Diana is looking rather dejectedly at the desktop holoscreen.
Caption: But I was sorely disappointed.
Caption: The Smith & Holder report just listed Hayami's employment agent, a few casual associates, and her meager holdings.
Caption: Plus, various notes from Roaz herself observing various facets of Hayami's behavior. They painted a picture of an earnest young idealist, not some schemer.
