Transcript For Strip 1671
Panel 1Murphy, Hugo and Theo are standing in front of a double-pressure door.
Theo: Think of it, my friends! As I speak with you here, I am also in contact with billions of Cush, directing their activities.
Hugo: What are you directing them to do?
Panel 2
Medium c/u on Theo. A light next to the pressure door is flashing.
Theo: Oh, a great many things … explore, gather resources, build more ships, assimilate new technologies ...
Theo: … by the way, did you know a hive-mind can't really invent anything? And I don't mean design a better can opener, I mean something really new, a conceptual leap!
Theo: All it can do is modify other species' concepts and processes. But it can be remarkably adaptable.
Panel 3
Another three-shot. The door behind them is starting to open.
Hugo: But what are your plans? To escape this galaxy?
Theo: Oh, at some point, certainly.
Theo: What I'm focusing on presently is annihilating the Brennir.
Panel 4
Theo has stepped across the threshold and is half-turned back towards a hesitant Murphy and Hugo, gesturing them to follow.
Theo: Before you judge me, consider that the Brennir are a vicious, savage people.
Theo: This galaxy will be better off without them.
Theo: Please do come along.
Panel 5
We can see that they are in a large bay, and dominating the space is the Causa Sui.
Theo: Here is your personal craft. From my scans I gather you've been tinkering with the Displacement Drive, trying to make it work.
Theo: A laudable project, which I would encourage.
Panel 6
Another three-shot of the trio. Hugo and Murphy are glancing nervously at each other.
Theo: In the meanwhile, I offer you this Icosaship as your sanctuary.
Theo: Beyond that, I hope you will consider joining me in my war with the Brennir.
Theo: And perhaps after that we can finally establish peace in this galaxy.
