Transcript For Strip 2203
Panel 1Inside the clothiers'. Albert and Ka speak with a fish on a bicycle, the store saleclerk. The 'bicycle' is a self-balancing contrivance with flexible arms much like on William Montoya's hoverchair
Ka: Got a customer for ya, Beatrice.
Ka: Also I need help with some math.
Salesclerk: I'll be happy to help.
Panel 2
Albert glances about as Ka and the clerk bend over a pair of screens, exchanging data.
Albert (thought): Of course. The local rulers charge 15 percent on currency exchanges. So folks play games.
Ka: Wait … 12 percent? That's way high.
Clerk: Not for this amount. Unless your guy is actually buying something.
Panel 3
Ka leads Albert over to a full-length screen. Currently shows his reflection.
Ka: Of course he is! Come over here, Nero.
Albert: Ah … I'm Adam.
Ka: Whatever. I've got just the outfit for you.
Panel 4
Now Albert's 'reflection' shows him wearing a different outfit. More punk-pirate-ish.
Ka: What do you think?
Albert: Not sure whether I should be saying 'shiver me timbers' or 'baise la police.'
