Transcript For Strip 1929

Panel 1
Diana is sitting on a sofa flanked by two hooligans. Areum is close-by, watching over.
Caption: The mercenaries stuck around for more than an hour, as Dong did his negotiating with each of them individually or in pairs.
Caption: I was left to socialize. Turns out thugs and hooligans are people, too. I heard some interesting stories.
Panel 2
Diana is at her desk in her bedroom, looking very tired as she peers into her compad's holoscreen.
Caption: Finally I was able to spend a bit of time doing some actual research in the Redes.
Caption: I found some media reports concerning Raynal and Bouissou. Nothing on that DeCosta character.
Panel 3
Diana sprawled prone on the bed. She's still wearing her anysuit, although it's not projecting anything.
Caption: I finally couldn't keep my eyes open any longer, and flopped into bed.
Caption: I didn't even bother taking off my anysuit.
Caption: I would regret that in the morning when I woke up itching all over.
Panel 4
Morning, at the breakfast table. Diana, Dong, Wook, and Areum having a quiet morning together, drinking coffee. No food is visible. Diana is scratching at a shoulder-blade.
Caption: 'Morning' is sort of arbitrary in this city but the habits of 3 billion years die hard.
Diana: Dong, next time you want to throw a party in this place please give me some advance warning.
Dong: I did not expect the guests to eat our entire food stores.
