Transcript For Strip 892
Panel 1Murphy stands in the corridor, Toombs' corpse still impaled on her hands.
Cristina: Murphy, are you ok?
Murphy: Here. I won.
Panel 2
Murphy lowers her arms and lets Toombs' corpse slide off and onto the deck.
Cristina: You don't sound well.
Murphy: I'm fine, really. Only a few scratches, they'll buff right out.
Panel 3
Murphy leans back against a wall, contemplating her dead foe. Her hands are back to normal.
Murphy: I'm just tired.
Murphy: And, disappointed.
Cristina: How so?
Panel 4
Medium close-up of Murphy, looking sadly puzled.
Murphy: Well, there was an initial thrill of victory when I killed Toombs.
Murphy: But it was only fleeting.
Murphy: Now, I don't feel anything.
Panel 5
Murphy begins walking down the corridor, deep in thought. Her dark-commando outfit is gone, and we see her in the tank-top and yoga pants she normally wears under her holo-clothing.
Cristina: Toombs was a bad, bad personality. Bobinardi checked his background.
Cristina: He was a hatchet-man for hire, someone to break bones or even kill people as desired by the powerful.
Panel 6
Murphy continues walking along.
Murphy: So you're saying I did more than get revenge for myself and my friends?
Cristina: You may have prevented a lot of future crimes ...
Panel 7
A beam flashes across the corridor, catching Murphy in the head, from behind.
SFX: ZBMF!!
Panel 8
In the lower foreground, Murphy has collapsed onto the deck, unmoving. In the midde-background, Wayne Bobinardi appears, brandishing an odd-looking pistol.
Bobinardi: Well, that was easier than I thought it would be.
