Computer: NOW LOGGING INTO DUSTPLAY™

Alice: And, of COURSE I have to play it ONLINE.

Alice: C’mon, where’s the CLICKY that starts the MISSION – THING –

Alice: … oh, right in FRONT of me. UGH.

Panel 3: Alice is now really into the game, in the midst of intense combat.

Computer: It’s CHARGED! Use your armor’s OMEGA STRIKE!

Alice: I’M TRYING TO, MAYBE TELL THEM TO STOP SHOOTING.

Panel 4: Alice is staring at the screen, on which we can see a computer simulation of Princess Nebula, talking to Alice’s avatar.

Nebula: … if only we KNEW what the SUPREMACY wanted with the COINS OF ORION…

Nebula: … but I SUPPOSE that’s a question for ANOTHER time.

Nebula: Well done, Field Commander BOOTYBOUNCE.

Alice (Off): *snrk*

Alice: I’m CURIOUS why you’re taking the time to TALK to me…

Panel 7: Back on the screen. The dialogue scene continues.

Nebula: I debrief the HEADS of ALL of our field squadrons.
