Transcript For Strip 2391

Panel 1
Jerome Falstaff reports from a revised Notícias Inacreditável set, designed to look something like a redoubt.

Jerome: While the local Displacer Net is gone, Libérateurs continue their expansion across the city, dispatched from troop carriers using their own on-board Displacer Engines.

Panel 2
Scene in a courtyard where invaders emerge from small troop carriers, and the locals flee before them

Jerome (from cameo): Some of the expansions have been peaceful, as citizens simply responded by running and hiding.

Panel 3
A squad of Libérateurs stands in the middle of an empty concourse

Jerome: The Libérateurs find themselves in deserted common areas, with people as well as goods and services sealed behind locked doors and Oresme shields.

Panel 4
In a different concourse, a squad of Libérateurs marches along, unaware of armed citizens lying in wait.

Jerome: In other cases, the arrivals of the invaders produced different results.

Panel 5
Libérateurs and citizens (now more evenly matched than previously) engage in an intense fire-fight.

Jerome: A citizen militia, organized as Resposta Ciudadana, has begun offering armed resistance.

Panel 6
Back to the studio:

Jerome: But no matter how many Libératurs the resistors manage to stop, and kill, the supply of new invaders seems inexhaustible.
Jerome: Could the best efforts of the Pillars, their ‘second string,’ and the miltia not be enough to save the city?
