Transcript For Strip 2097

Panel 1
Murphy and Hugo. Murphy pretends to be the dense student reciting for her instructor.
Murphy: Hmm. Well, we're still pulling against Snake-Eyes' gravity well.
Murphy: Fortunately the missile doesn't seem to have any drives running, so it's still slowing down …
Murphy: Our gravity-drive can take some advantage of that gravity-well, but that advantage diminishes with the inverse-square of the distance ...

Panel 2
External view of Causa Sui rocketing way on its fusion drives. Both Murphy and Hugo appear in cameos.
Murphy (from cameo): But our fusion drives are only limited by our fuel supply.
Murphy: I note that you've engaged them already.
Hugo (from cameo): Why waste time?
Panel 3
Back in the control room.
Murphy: I estimate using both drives it will take us 104,872 seconds to match velocities ...
Murphy: Then of course we'll need to catch up, then slow enough to come alongside at zero relative.
Murphy: So, an additional 18,248 seconds.
Panel 4
Hugo lovingly embraces Murphy from behind, his chin on her shoulder. Both are all smiles.
Hugo: You have always been my favorite student, Murphy.
Hugo: In the meantime, what do you say we repair to our cabin for some extra-curricular activities?
Murphy: You're an awful letch, Hugo. And I adore you for it.
