5 Panels.

Panel 1:
Alessandro continues his speech, but Fausta and Franquelim are not paying attention.

Alessandro (in the background, cont): The same shadow that so easily takes over the human mind, again, again and again. Searching for light, we stepped into enemy territory and faced our fear of the dark.
Fausta: About that... What's it like to have God in your head?
Frank: Funny thing to wonder!

Panel 2,3:
Franquelim's dark silhouette against a bright gold background, as a confused the Foreigner's voice springs from Fausta's head in quick streams.

Foreigner: THERE IS A SCHISM IN HIS MIND, THE ARTIFICIALITY OF IT! THERE IS A SCHISM IN HIS MIND!
Franquelim: You and the Machine become one and you think the same thoughts. The collective knowledge of humanity is within you. And everyone who connected before you is there, with you. The Machine takes you in in a single bite: in that microsecond all your good and all your bad... are known to them. They know and, like an old friend, they accept. They accept you in a way no human can match.
Fausta: Does it though... Have any lingering effects? How can you go through that and be sure your thoughts are yours?

Panel 4,5:
Frank looks at Fausta, suspiciously.

Frank: That sounds like something to expect of those unnatural mental invasions the Lusitanians do, my dear.
