Transcript For Strip 1712
Panel 1Back in realspace, Hugo re-enters the alcove where Murphy is waiting with the 'unconscious' Eithne and Theo.
Hugo: Don't. Say. A … what in the world?
Murphy: She assigned me to guard-dog duty and plugged herself into his brain.
Panel 2
Hugo looks Eithne over.
Hugo: You rash, reckless child!
Hugo: And curse me for falling asleep at the wrong moment!
Hugo: Well, there's only one thing to do now.
Panel 3
Hugo has moved over to the Interface panel and is sticking his left hand into the orifice. Murphy looks even more worried.
Hugo: Theo may be damaged but he may still have enough of my guile and experience to be more than a match for Eithne.
Hugo: Even with these gamer-gods backing her play.
Panel 4
Murphy tries to speak with Hugo but he is now stock-still as a statue, completely immersed in the Cush network.
Murphy: Are you sure this is a good idea? Remember what happened last time you did this …
Murphy: … Hugo? HUGO?
Panel 5
Four-shot of Hugo at the Interface, Murphy, and Theo with Eithne in the corner. Murphy is looking highly annoyed.
Murphy: This well and truly bites.
Murphy: I'm stuck here baby-sitting these three.
Murphy: How will I stave off boredom?
Panel 6
Murphy looks to her right and sees several Cush drones approaching.
Murphy: Oh.
Murphy: Shit.
