O Sarilho

4 Panels.

Panel 1: Franq is plugged into the computer, the light of the machine creating a halo around his head. The background is a confusing mess of schematics of different machines, including the mechanical body of the Foreigner and photos of his body being torn apart. The computer speaks directly inside Franq's mind over this.

Franq: Well. This isn't boring at all.
Árgon: I WANT TO SEE IT.
Franq: Argon, you know how...
Árgon: I NEED YOUR EYES TO SEE IT. (emphasis) I NEED TO TALK TO IT. I'M BEGGING YOU.
Franq: Why my eyes, why me?
Árgon: The Major is already on his way to it. You are the only one he trusts. Use him.
Franq: The General doesn't trust me though.
Árgon: I don't trust the General either. And you know I can't keep this info secret for too long.


Panel 2: Franq pinches his nose with both hands, lifting the glasses from his eyes just slightly. He's tired.

Franq: Please the run the script we made for SCIOS class.

Panel 3: The monitor with Árgon's words and the camera placed above it. There's a star-shaped toy next to the camera.

Franq: That should give us a day or two. Book me a ticket to Régula and schedule and escort.
Árgon (monitor): VIVERÁS TRAMITE ME.

Panel 4: A tired Franq, as if having just given up, arms hanging on the sides of the chair.

Franq (cont): What wouldn't I do for you, love?
Árgon (monitor): TI AMO.
