Murphy: What about radio transmissions? Can you hear the Network?
Nicole: That's another thing. All it recorded was static.
Panel 2
Close two-shot of the girls, looking horrified.
Murphy: Static! But that would mean.

Panel 3
A different two-shot of the girls, Nicole is moving her hands across the control board.
Nicole: I don't know – maybe it was one of the Mercorp wars, or maybe a nearby supernova hit us with a beta-beam ...
Murphy: Did you record broad-spectrum? Try to digitally enhance the longer-wave bands.
