Transcript For Strip 2198

Panel 1
Cut to: Albert Montoya is seated at a small cafe table, having a coffee. A video screen inset appears to one side of the panel, in which we see Sergio Cooper. Albert is not looking at the inset but is conversing with Sergio.
Albert: I'd say that's quite a lucky break, unless it's a red herring.
Sergio: Still, if you don't have any better leads …
Panel 2
Different angle on Albert, Sergio's screen still there
Albert: Yes yes, of course. I'm following these.
Albert: Turns out one of them is in Neuveau Mo'orea and I'm there now.
Sergio: Very good. But watch your step. Her bio indicates she has really sharp claws.
Panel 3
Albert sits back and chuckles.
Albert: Ha-ha. Well, mine are pretty sharp, too. But thanks for the heads-up.e
Albert: I need to go now.
Sergio: Good hunting, and watch your six.
Panel 4
The screen with Sergio is gone. Albert is turning to look at a lovely young lass dressed mostly in her green skin standing to the right and a bit behind him.
Albert: Ah. You must be Kahalaomāpuana.
Kahalaomāpuana: You pronounced correctly. Very impressive.
Albert: Thanks, but would you mind if I call you 'Ka' for short?
