Transcript For Strip 87

Panel 1
The Helio-Flyer still accelerating away from Sol. Which appears a goodly bit smaller than last time but still almost fills the height of the panel.
Caption: To maintain alertness through 29 hours of monotony, Nicole engages a number of distractions.

Panel 2
Inside the cockpit, Nicole is still lit only by her suit's lights. Translucent fields filled with glowing, arcane, quasi-mathematical inscriptions float about her head.
Caption: She reviews some articles on 'quantum vibremonics' which she had downloaded previously.

Panel 3
Same angle on Nicole but now she is in her cyber-form flying through space as if riding a chopper. Across one section of the starry background there's a wide rectangle filled with a scene containing the same characters as we saw in Strip 41.
Caption: Accessing the Sysnet, she downloads and 'views' the latest episodes of Doosh Goza Ouiselle, Art's My Folly, and Bizarro Neil.

Panel 4
Helio-Flyer zooms away.
Caption: As the hours wear on and she gets more desperate, she links into Ché Nannigan's What You Should Think soapbox program.
Nannigan (filtered): … that them dim damn elves think they can get away with every time every time they open their filthy pie-holes …
Nicole: {grrrrrrrrr}
Caption: The aggravation of such annoying noise helped maintain her edge.
