Panel 2
A new and improved Alyss sits up on a table, looking at Jorge. We see her from behind, so Jorge is on her left. They are in the same Pillars meeting room where we last saw Alyss.

Jorge: How do you feel?

Alyss: Jorge, I … A bit disoriented … Like I’m in a different body.

Panel 3
Alyss steadies herself with a hand on Sergio’s shoulder as she climbs off the table. She is larger now, half a head taller than Sergio.

Sergio: That’s because you ARE in a different body, Alyss.

Jorge: It’s the one you had made shortly before you left for your sabbatical on Nyumbani.

Panel 4
Alyss looks at her hands as Sergio discretely rubs the shoulder she had grasped.

Alyss: Yeah. Super-strong, wicked-fast. A walking weapon, pretty much.

Alyss: I had been feeling paranoid and … well, when I saw this result, I knew I needed an extended vacation.

Panel 5
Alyss turns to Sergio.

Alyss: Sergio, what’s our situation?

Sergio: The invaders keep funneling-in via that impregnable IGC Legation.

Sergio: If we can’t stop that, it’s only a matter of days before we’re done.

Panel 6
Jorge is collecting some small tools as he glances at Alyss

Jorge: I seem to recall your friends Hugo and Murphy were supposed to be helping us.

Jorge: So, where the hell are they?
