Transcript For Strip 2100

Panel 1
In the control room, Murphy and Hugo. He's focused on something in front of him we can't see, gesturing with his hands.
Murphy: You intend to get at the core that way?
Murphy: This thing is heavily magnetized, remember?
Murphy: The gravity-fields won't be able to pull your sample out.

Panel 2
Exterior view of Causa Sui firing a combination of a columnated gravity beam as before, with another beam cork-screwing around it.
Hugo (from cameo): You overlook the 'electro' part of 'electro-gravity.'
Hugo: I can mitigate the magnetic field with an electrostatic sheath.

Panel 3
Exterior view of a core sample being extracted from the missile via the combination of direct gravity-beam and corkscrewing EMF wave.
Hugo (OP): Once we can get the sample some distance away from its parent we can cut it up further and get a precise picture.
Panel 4
Inside the control room, Hugo is gesticulating and posing awkwardly as he manipulates the invisible interface. Murphy is grinning at him.
Murphy: You always impress me with your mad tai chi skills.
Hugo: Laugh if you want but doing this helps me focus on the actual control interface.
