This will take a while...
BASED on the German translation of the original text by Tanja Krämling.English text by Haruhater.
Panel 1: POUKRAM!So this is the famous Tzom’pantli barrier?It is also called the Wall of Desolation. A grim remnant of the war between Wake and the coalition on the far side of this border. Over a million ships were decimated over the course of this conflict… This wall was built out of their wreckage.Panel 2: In a way, it is a memorial to the fallen. But to be honest, I think it’s more of a warning.I understand. “No matter how many ships you send our way, we will never give in!”Panel 3: Exactly, Navis! We are passing through the gate right now… from here on out, Wake is not welcome and has no authority.Panel 4: Thank you for the explanation, Bekkya… Umm… Can I ask you something?
Panel 1: Oh, I think I know what you are about to ask… it concerns me.Umm, yes, though I kinda feel bad about it…Panel 2: Oh, go ahead!I noticed that everyone keeps avoiding you! I could also feel a certain hostility!Panel 3: Hmm, you’re absolutely right. I am a gurr-khaa.Everyone hates my people.Panel 4: My ancestors were renowned mercenaries in the Tzom’pantli war.They played both sides and were scapegoated for prolonging that colossal conflict.Panel 5: That was over 200 cycles ago! What’s that got to do with you?People just like to pidgeonhole others, I guess…Panel 6: I belong to a race of traitors.I’m sorry about that. I approached you because you were alone. I abhor such prejudice!Panel 7: Be careful! Interacting with me in the open like this can land you in hot water yourself…LADIES! Everyone who hasn’t been placed in their own cabin, please follow me! I will guide you to the women’s sleeping quarters.
Panel 1: You have no access to the higher decks.Panel 2: Choose your own spot! Lay down wherever you like!Showers on the right side.Good night.Panel 3: Talk about bare-bones… No privacy, either.I’ll take that spot in the corner.Panel 4: You sure I won’t bother you? I can move elsewhere if you want…No, I just don’t want you getting into trouble over me…Panel 5: Don’t sweat it. Getting into trouble is what I do best.Panel 6: Hmmm. The good thing about you is that we get more space.Haha, you're right. Let’s look on the bright side.Panel 7: In any case, I’m glad to have met you.I admire your serenity!Thanks.
Panel 1: Someone broke into my locker!All my stuff is gone!Panel 2: Someone stole my bag! Did anybody see anything?!Humph! Not likely…Panel 3: Honestly! We’re all in the same boat…We all have it rough, we need to stick together! Come on, give back my bag and we can forget all about this.Panel 7: Damn… Fine.Panel 11: That your locker?You gimme’ back my shit?Panel 12: I dunno’ what you’re talking about.Fuck off!
Panel 1: There’s an alarm in my bag. It’s ringing in your locker. Give me back my bag.Panel 2: I don’t hear nuffin’! Fuck off!Panel 3: What are you, deaf or somethin’?Panel 8: A tettegonide! No weaknesses…
Panel 1: Except for…Panel 2: And above all else……no eyelids!Panel 4: Yeah, that’s right, raise that head!Panel 5: Ouch!Damn bastard hit me with all her strength…Panel 7: Four against one…Panel 8: Are you sure you need that?Panel 10: Good.Panel 11: Thank you, Bekkya…I didn’t want to drag you into…
Panel 1: There’s your stuff back!Panel 2: Unbelievable! You’d think I’m the thief!They just don’t want to lose face.Panel 3: Let’s hope it stays there this time.Oh, I don’t think they’ll harass us again anytime soon.Panel 4: At least now I know you can defend yourself.Panel 5: You seem quite dangerous yourself, to be honest.I abhor unnecessary confrontation… And my bad reputation doesn’t help.Let’s go to sleep.Panel 6: Good night, Bekkya.Good night, Navis.Panel 8: This is most interesting, captain.Yes, fascinating!Panel 9: This voyage will be quite interesting!Panel 10: And, if I may say so, captain; quite lucrative.
Panel 1: I’m worried, Juliet! Navis is in a zone beyond Wake authority. Should she get discovered; her life will be in peril!Panel 2: And all this over hearsay! Zero evidence! Maybe it’s a trap!Cool your circuits, Snivel! Nävis knows what she’s doing!Panel 3: If our information is correct, then it is highly important to her, and to us as well!Yes, I know! But I am deeply unnerved! Nävis is going in too deep! Someone else should have gone!Panel 4: Snivel, you know that Nävis is naturally more qualified than anyone…Sure, but the risk she’s taking is way too high!Panel 5: Should she also come under emotional duress, the probability of failure rises exponentially!You’re worse than a gloluck-mother! Have some faith! She’s no longer the little girl who you raised!Panel 6: Besides, she ‘s not working without a safety net, we-Oh, entrance through airlock four! We have visitors!Panel 7: A security ferry of Wake’s mothership!Yeah, new model type k.57!Panel 8: Wow! What a surprise!Panel 9: Rib-wund! It’s been a while!
Panel 1: Juliet, Snivel, greetings! Sorry for dropping in on such short notice!Hi Rib-wund! It’s okay, happy to see you!Welcome, Rib-wund!Panel 2: I’m happy too! You need to accompany me…I can't say anything more, but it’s urgent and highly classified, as you no doubt already guessed.I’m coming. Do I need any materials?Panel 3: No, we have all the necessities. Don’t worry, it won’t take long.Panel 4: Right. Do I need to change?No need, your clothes are perfectly fine.Panel 5: Great! Then, let’s go!Perfect! Thank you for being so cooperative, Juliet!Panel 6: Uh, Rib-wund… Will Juliet be back by suppertime?Don’t worry, Snivel. She’ll be eating your soup soon.Panel 7: I need to ask you something.I’m all ears.Panel 8: Is the real Rib-wund still alive?Hahaha, very good!Panel 9: Your reputation as a genius is well-earned.And to answer your question: I haven’t a clue!
Panel 1: Grand magister, do you still believe that this Nävis creature is a supra-human sleeper agent?Panel 2: I can never completely rule out the possibility…But her recent actions confirm her independence.That’s one of her flaws…Utter distrust in authority!Panel 3: Obviously, this character trait could be a mere put-on in order to fool us.Panel 4: Hmmm… I don’t think so. To me, her hunger for justice rings true. And it was because of her principles that she could gather such a team around herself.Booboo. Snivel. Juliet. Yannsei. Rib-wund. Juaiz. Bassachy…Panel 5: Not to mention Feu Atsukau, who practically idolizes her.The magister of Wake M-693 has complete confidence in her.Panel 6: She saved his life on multiple occasions. It’s thanks to her that his convoy was spared a lethal pandemic. They seem to share the same values.So you trust her as well?Panel 7: Over the course of her life, I have carefully observed her deeds and reactions. The plausibility of manipulation seems slim. Nevertheless, we must remain vigilant! The independence of Wake M-693 is beneficial to us… should anything go wrong.Panel 8: At present, the supra-humans have put many of their most important pieces into play due to Nävis and her valuable friends…Panel 9: It is now up to us to make use of this gap!
Panel 1: You know, the food here ain’t so bad!No kiddin’... I think we get the scraps from the higher decks.Panel 2: Say, where did you learn to fight like that? Were you in the army?Not really, just worked in security. Night watchman an alll..Panel 3: I had many excellent close quarters combat instructors.It was necessary, considering the world we live in...Panel 4: ...unfortunately.I agree with that. It doesn't get any better in the outer systems, just you wait.Panel 5: Navis Whipe?Umm… yes?Panel 6: Captain’s orders.There’s been an incident in the sleeping quarters. Please come with us.Bekkya Massary, you are also involved.Panel 7: Umm… there was a little tussle, but it’s been settled. There is no…It’s not about that.Panel 8: POUKRAM! Our locker! Is is cursed or something?The fire apparently originated by a short circuit in a class 6 device found in your backpack.Panel 9: The cost of the damage must be covered. As such, you will be held liable… YOu will be charged with the repair costs. Please come with me, the captain will help you clear up this unfortunate situation.Panel 10: 4000 klobs? That’s not happening; we barely possess a tenth of that sum together!We have strict rules here! If you fail to come up with the required sum, I will be forced to unload you at the following stop and hand you over to the local authorities! Dismissed!
Panel 1: I can’t believe this! First all our stuff goes up in flames, now our trip is in jeopardy!I’m so sorry Bekkya, you’ve lost everything and it’s all my fault…Panel 2: Don’t worry, no way that was your fault.Something fishy’s going on. Your equipment couldn’t have caught fire just like that! I don’t believe a word that the captain said.Panel 3: Hold on!You think the captain’s behind all of this?!Panel 4: But why? As an excuse? Does he want us off this ship?I don’t think so…If wanted to get rid of us, he could just do so at the next stop.Panel 5: But then what does he want?And what can we do?Panel 6: We’ll just have to wait.Panel 7: I thought you would say that…Panel 8: Ladies?If I may bother you for a moment!Panel 9: Word gets around here fast…I heard you have some financial problems?Panel 10: I’ve been sent to hand you this holokey from my boss… You match the profile he’s been looking for… You could earn a lot of money!
Panel 2: What are you trying to pull? You want to recruit us as prostitutes?!Panel 3: What?! No, that’s not…FUCKING CREEP!Navis, stop!Panel 4: Give me that.That’s why I’m here.Panel 5: The boss is never wrong…You are a perfect match!What’s that supposed to mean?!Panel 6: Oh…Now I get it! Our little tussle in the sleeping quarters did not go unnoticed… IMMA!IMMA? What’s that supposed to mean?Panel 7: Interspecies Mixed Martial Arts. You’ve never heard? The sport’s been exploding recently…Well, if you can call it a sport, that is. Closer to battles without honor or dignity.Oh, I get it… And I suppose the show lets you bet on the outcome, and the money just keeps pouring in… for some people at least.Panel 8: Quite right, Navis… participants earn 100 klobs a fight.And the winner receives a reward of 300 klobs.Well I need more than 4000! Which means I have to win 10 fights… I have no interest in this bullshit whatsoever!But our dear captain made sure I can’t find another job aboard!Panel 9: Poukram! We’re so screwed!
Panel 1: That was the last teleportal. We’ve arrived.Panel 2: I suppose there’s no need to ask where we are…Right as ever! But would it calm you down if I told you?Ha! It’s time that I leave this shape!Panel 3: Look away if it bothers you!Panel 4: It doesn’t bother me. I’m a scientist. I find it utterly fascinating.Panel 5: True. Not many could ever see it……and even less of them survived!Panel 6: Go into the office up ahead! Our IT guy is waiting for you!Careful! He’s the sensitive type!Panel 7: Welcome! The material is an exact replica of what you use at home.Panel 8: I have added a couple devices based off my liking… In any case, we require your skills.Previously, you have successfully hacked into the high-security archives of the Overcouncil. Your job is cracking a dozen H.T.8 security codes for us!Panel 9: Why would I do that?Why?Yes, well, physical violence is generally speaking an excellent incentive…
Panel 1: But I prefer…Panel 2: …empathy!Panel 4: Your friend is being held at a secure location that’s whereabouts even I do not know.As you can see, a timer has been activated. Should it run out, the machines will get to work…Panel 5: …and your friend will be skinned alive! Do your job, and the timer will stop.Panel 6: FINE! I’ll… I’ll do what you want!No doubt. Now sit down. I will follow the actions you take at this desk.Panel 7: This could get complicated… I need more time!More time?Panel 8: Impossible! I need the codes before the timer runs out!Panel 9: After that, both I and your friend……will be useless.
Panel 3: Damn, you sure pack a punch!Panel 5: Brutal!
Panel 1: You okay?Khh… yeah.Panel 2: Let’s give it up for our winner! Rookie Navis is unstoppable: Nine fights, nine victories!Panel 4: Navis, I know you don’t want coaching, and I get it… but word of advice…Give yourself a break. At least wave to your fans.Panel 5: These pageantries are not my thing, Sarwee. I fight, and that’s that.Listen, you are too fast! People want to see a show… you need to draw your fights out!Panel 6: To goose the ratings…Yes… Not gonna lie, that’s part of that…Speaking of, the boss wants to see you.Panel 7: Navis Whipe. You wanted to see me?Ah! Very good! Come on in!Panel 8: Have a seat! Want a drink?No thanks. I already drank water.Panel 9: Right! The way I see it, you don’t want to put on a show… That’s an aspect of your personality. Your fans call you “Miss Efficiency”...Panel 10: Can we get to the point?Haha! Your fans figured you out, alright! Well then: you are going to lose your next fight! Twenty thousand klobs for you!Panel 11: Ooh! Sportsmanship; I like that! But money does not interest me!You want more? Fine… How much?Panel 12: Forget it! I told you, I don’t want money… But, how long is your arm?I have contacts everywhere, if that’s what you’re asking!Very good! In that case……we might just be able to make a deal!
Panel 1: Nävis! I watched your fight on holo-TV! Great job!Mmm… Something smells good!A specialty of my planet, just for you!Panel 2: That’s so sweet of you! Can't wait to try it!I wanted to thank you in my own way!Panel 3: Don’t be thankful… after all of the trouble I've brought your way.Thanks to you, we have our own cabin, and I don't have to fight…Panel 4: I can’t thank you enough!Usually, when I start a fight, I have to live with the consequences.Panel 5: Hmmm, umm, wow! These little meatballs taste heavenly!Well I'm glad you like them!Glup! These are great!Panel 6: Thank you! That was delicious! Not to be nosey; but do you have a destination; or are you just wandering about?To be honest; I love traveling. But I have made my home on a nice little planet…Panel 7: A world where nature still reigns supreme. That is my stop.I'm one of the select few who are allowed in there. Enough chit-chat, time to rest!Panel 8: Good night, Bekkya!Sweet dreams, Nävis!Panel 9: It’s time for the showdown that you've all been waiting for!Two wild warriors who have never lost a fight!Panel 10: In this corner; Nävis, brand new to this championship!Nine fights, nine victories!And in this corner, the woman who needs no introduction, Jeeta! With a record of 124 wins in a row!Panel 11: So you're behind all of this! You lured me here… just to win a rigged fight!Panel 12: Well, aren't you sure of yourself!…Fine!
Panel 3: Easy there, honey!Panel 4: Get up, sucka’!Panel 10: “Sucka’”? Did I hear that right?
Panel 1: FINALLY, results!Panel 2: One single code, keep it up!Panel 3: I am now going to check this codes validity.Panel 4: You better pray that it is valid; otherwise, we will start cutting a few pieces off of your friend!It's… It's valid… I swear…I'll… I'll Crack the others as well…Panel 5: Please, leave Bassachy alone!
Panel 4: What's the big idea?!Panel 5: If she knocks out my star player, and I lose my money… I'll have her head!Panel 6: Come on! Let's finish this!Panel 9: Too slow!Panel 10: Halt! It's over! Stop!She's had enough!Panel 11: Another victory for our champion! That makes it 125 in a row; let's hear it for her!Nävis!Nävis, speak up!Panel 12: Are you alright?Been better!
Panel 1: Poukram, where is he? He better not have bailed on me!Last call: All passengers for flight no. 5; please report to gate 4!Panel 2: There you are! About time!Panel 3: Sorry I'm late -huff- but we -huff- had some trouble -huff- getting this…Panel 4: Oh, the boss has a message for you: platform 12!KthnxbyePanel 5: Move it, the airlocks closin’!I'm coming!Panel 6: Phew! Sorry ‘bout that Bekkya; just a little snag!It's alright. Didn’t need to keep your seat free - nobody wanted it.You staying on Baltikhâ for a while?Panel 7: No, I have a flight to catch to the Kargâtt system just as soon as we land at the space port.Panel 8: I have at least eight different stops. But it was a pleasure to share this journey with you, Nävis.Say, didn't your clothes burn to ashes?Panel 8: They did, but I “convinced” the captain……to let me print them all out one to one!Ha ha! You are truly one of a kind, Nävis!Yeah, I get that a lot!
Panel 1: Now arriving at spaceport Balltikhâ! Clear skies! We are arriving on schedule! Please take all your belongings!Panel 2: Are you going to stay on this 98.6% water-covered rock for long?I dunno’... I've found a job here, and unlike you, I love the sea.Panel 3: Thanks for everything, Nävis. And do be careful, life here is harsh.Girl, I need some action!Panel 4: You'll get plenty of that what with the stormy climate here! Have fun, Nävis!You too! See you around!This universe is smaller than you think!Panel 5: All aboard for the mining rigs on this platform, hovership B!P.E. 13? Is this the right one?Yes; that's the last stop on this line.Panel 6: Flight lasts half a day!Good, I've got work to do!Panel 7: Now let's see… Khoborian mining modules… Poukram, 120 pages!!Sheesh! Oh well!Panel 8: Platform 12! End of the line!
>>151871060Merry Christmas, and thank you!
Panel 1: HA HA HA! Finally! Success!Incredible what wonders a little motivation can work!Panel 2: I hate to admit it……but the shapeshifters were correct: you possess incredible talent!Panel 3: Well… That is if you actually succeeded.Panel 4: Which we will see, very soon.Panel 6: So? You did it?Yes. I have sent the data, here's your copy.Panel 7: What about her? She is exceedingly useful.Hmmm. Then we'll keep her until we get further orders.Panel 8: Good.I was able to learn so many things from watching her.Label 8: Come on! Move it!We've built a little cabin, just for you!Panel 9: And… and Bassachy? Is she okay?Panel 10: Oh, your horned friend? She'll be hanging in there until we're confirmed that everything is going according to plan.Now shut your trap until we've arrived!
Panel 1: Well, I hope the boss at the combat arena did what I asked and somebody is actually waiting for me.Panel 2: Hi there! I'm Kizzyx!Panel 3: Greetings! I'm Nävis!Welcome to this hunk of junk! We've been waiting ages for a repairman, but I never gave up hope!Panel 4! I'll take you to the boss! You coming?Yeah!Panel 5: Hey boss! We got a new repairman!She's called Nävis!Harumph! About time!Panel 6: Good day, mr. Boss Man…Hi! We don't screw around here! The name's Rôrkau, that's Boss to you! Capiche?Panel 7: Okay… Boss!Great! Hope you know your way around a D-250 coupling system; because everything here is broken… But, you'll see for yourself.Kizzyx, bring her to her quarters.Panel 8: Don't sweat it, kid. He's tough, but fair.Panel 9: The extraction team is actually pretty nice. Well, there are some knuckleheads among the drill team.Just leave them to themselves.Panel 10: Don't worry; I know how to handle difficult people.Don't we all…Panel 11: Your humble abode!Room with a view! If you need anything, just tell me! Make yourself at home!Panel 12: Dinner is served in an hour and a half! See you there!
Panel 1: It was about time he agreed to meet with us! We have never waited this long for an appointment!If I may; your majesty must not forget that physical contact with the peoples of Wake is not advisable…Panel 2: Everything is supposed to be arranged via telecommunication channels.Panel 3: We know that! However, our desires must also be respected!Otherwise……no treaty with them will ever be possible.Panel 4: Conducting business in person has been a sign of our respect since ancient times.Panel 5: That is the reason Wake accepted our offer.They are willing to disregard protocol for us.That's because they wish to install one of their teleportals.We shall only permit that when given proper respect.Panel 6: Your majesty, we have visual on the teleportal. Patching you through to the navigators.Panel 7: Welcome!Teleportal active! Proceed with speed 54,7 TST in the central direction.Panel 8: We wish you a safe passage.Onwards!
Panel 1: And asteroid field? These coordinates don't match; we are in the wrong location!Panel 3: All power has been re-routed!Panel 4: What?!We are being boarded, your majesty!Panel 5: That's right! Drop your weapons, they're out of order!Panel 6: What do you want? Are you pirates?!Don't insult us, your majesty!Panel 7: Then who are you?Panel 8: So you do exist!You are these infernal creatures that imitate other beings!Infernal? I like that! We're chaos itself!Panel 9: Get into our ship, now!We have nothing against you…You will get your ship back and you may return home unharmed.Panel 10: Let's go, our time is short!
Panel 1: I'm getting static! You alright?Panel 2: Answer me! Can you hear me?Panel 3: Is something wrong?Panel 4: You okay?Yeah, yeah!Panel 5: Everything ‘s fixed. Light and radio failure - but it all works now!Panel 6: Phew! You scared me!It's alright! I'm not scared of the dark! I've worked according to your repair scheme - hopefully it works.Panel 7: Well, we're about to find out!Nävis, you're incredible! This drill platform has been out of commission for a year……and you made us the missing parts like they're nothin’!Panel 8: Yeah, well, with your huge pile of unused spare parts……it was easy to improvise.Panel 9: All systems green!We did it! This should increase output by at least 20%!That will help us out! The captain won't say it, but financially we're at rock bottom. Right, gotta’ go. You're sure to get a hefty bonus! And boy, did you earn it!Panel 10: Ha! If that's true.. We'll split it! Couldn't have done it without you!Panel 11: Hey! Shorty! So? You screwed up? Huh? Give it up!Ha ha! Yeah!Panel 12: Sorry, you meatheads, but it worked! You've lost the bet and owe me four bottles of Lom-Lochond!!
Panel 1: You callin’ us meatheads; midget?! And we only owe you two bottles!Panel 2: Now, now! You both bet two bottles each!I know math is a little hard for you guys, but 2 + 2 = 4!Panel 3: Who do you think you are?!I think you need your own lesson… 2 fists plus 2 more fists…Panel 3: HEY! LET HIM GO!Panel 4: As you wish!Panel 5: You OK, Dogoo?Huff! Yeah!Panel 6: How much for an hour, Sweet Cheeks?Panel 7: Get your filthy paws off me!Panel 8: Ooh! Should I be scared?Panel 9: Yeah, you should!
Panel 1: OOOOOWWWWWW! Stop it! I'm sorry!Let ‘im go!Panel 2: WHAT? Want me to take care of you too?Panel 3: HEY! YOU!What's going on here?! Mox! Cham! Not you two again! Boy, you sure picked a good one this time!Panel 4: When are you two going to quit making a ruckus everywhere?We work together, as a team! If you keep messing with everyone; it won't end well!Panel 5: I'm not paying you two; go beat up each other.Nävis! That goes for you too! You wanna’ brawl, you're in the wrong place!Panel 6: You think I haven't heard about your feats of strength aboard the transport ship that brought you here?Cool it down a little!Yes, Boss!Panel 7: You two! Mox, Cham: you pay Dogoo what you owe him!Yeah, it's my job to know everything that happens on this platform!And then get to work!Yes, Boss!Panel 8: You heard the man!Yeah, yeah, I heard ‘im! These are my last ones.Paid debts are true riches!Panel 9: THERE!And I hope you choke!Panel 11: NO!
Panel 3: What are you doing?! Let me go!!Didn't you hear the sirens?!Panel 4: Every ten days we throw leftover food into the sea… That attracts the Medssorks!It's teeming with them down there! If you jump, you'll be torn to shreds!Panel 5: Poukram! So what, we just watch him get mauled?!Panel 6: Kizzyx must be down there, he should be operating Pier no. 5!What are you thinking?Panel 7: Huff! Hurry it up, Mox!Got it! Kizzyx, launch Pier no. 5, now!Panel 8: HEY! Are you crazy?!
If it wasn't for Kizzyx, you'd both be fish food!Panel 2: Thank you, Kizzyx!That was close; but nobody controls a crane like me!Panel 3: Right. Storm's coming. Nävis, Dogoo; get some rest.Panel 4: Nävis, I don't know how to thank you!It's okay, a hot cup of tea is enough for me. No need to spoil me!Nobody ever risked her life for me before!Panel 5: You sure you don't want any Lom-Lochond in your tea?No thanks, I don't like alcohol. So these dumbasses finally paid you?Yes! They even gave me a bottle on top! Kizzyx told me Mox was hauling ass!Panel 6: He better have been! His thoughtless behavior almost got you killed! I hope this little accident taught him a lesson!Panel 7: You've been here for a while?And how! I've been working since drilling first began!Umm… What do you know about platform 13?Panel 8: Platform 13… umm…Is that why you're here? On Wake's behalf?No! It's personal!Panel 9: Personal? Hmmm! We don't know much about that station…Nobody's ever seen their workers. No one even knows what they're drilling for. There's just not a lot I can say to you.Panel 10: You don't even know ow what they look like? Is it possible to take a look at it?Forget about it! The entire surrounding airspace is guarded by a battalion of armed drones…Panel 11: …and a minefield surrounds the place in the water, blocking all access!Meaning: I can't access the place without top of the line equipment…Panel 12: Not necessarily, Nävis! I'm curious and I've been looking into that platform myself…They're not the first ones to drill in that location… I may have a tip for you!Out with it!
Panel 1: We would like to welcome you in the name of Wake! We'll escort you to the mothership!Please follow our instructions…Panel 2: Your exit from the TP had a bit of a delay, is everything in order?Yes, no problems…Panel 3: His highness wished to extend the journey during the passage, to better understand its workings. Understood, no worries. Please proceed to airlock no. 1.Panel 5: Your highness…Panel 6: It is an honor.I am Bellgassa, first advisor to the high magistrate. Allow me to lead you to him.Panel 7: Will our protocols be respected?Do not worry, your majesty. All security measures were followed to your exact specifications.
Panel 1: High magister, his highness Hat-Toyro the fourth and his ministers hereby grace you with their presence.I honor this grace. Leave us now alone.Panel 2: My apologies, your majesty.My old age did not allow me to receive you at the dock. Please forgive me.Panel 3: We understand. To honor our traditions; we invite you to accept this gift from us.Panel 4: I am happy to receive it and I thank you.Panel 5: Huh? What is this?Panel 6: What…?Panel 7: Actually, it is from our valued allies…This machine uses your mental guards to incapacitated you. Your mind is trapped in a loop.We are not here to kill you…Panel 8: …but to use you!Panel 9: I'm just going to borrow your device for a bit and ask for your helpto activate it!Panel 10: Ha! The moment of truth! Now we shall see if these codes really work!Panel 11: One final authorization…Panel 12: Success! All combat systems active!Wake has just declared war on all of its neighbors!Panel 13: Hahaha! Our vengeance is now complete! Wake has just signed its own death warrant!

Sorry to crash the party!But I just brought Juliet home!Panel 5: Now before the real party begins; I wanna’ play a message from the true high magister!Panel 6: Your operation has failed. We have played you! My role was played by a body double. Our goal was finding you! The shapeshifters are merely your armed forces, they are irrelevant.. Panel 7: Because you are the masterminds behind them. Our agents are here to capture you! Do not enter a conflict which you are sure to use. Surrender yourselves!Us? Surrender? NEVER!Panel 8: In our combined form, your stun beams are useless!Panel 9: Who said anything about stun?Panel 11: Those bastards are gone…Poof.My advice, come with us quietly.You will come with me.Panel 12: The difference between us is that we fear nothing… not even the end!Panel 13: BOOBOO!

You okay?I'll… manage!Panel 10: Go right! We need to get to hatch 24!Panel 12: Goddamn’ drones!

This is our last chance!Panel 12: In 5.46 seconds, a secret teleportal will open!I need to take you back to Wake!
Panel 1: Yannsei, ca't you go get him? Is he really okay?Panel 2: He is! The operation was a success!And you know him, he does not like teleportation. He wanted to come on his own two feet.There he is!Panel 3: Booboo! I'm so glad!Thank you, Juliet. But you shouldn't have had to worry!I'm a migrunt! And besides, Yannsei's medical unit is second to none! They grew me two new transplant legs!Panel 4: Oh, Booboo! I was so scared! Never do that again!You're one to talk, Nävis! Not like your little trip to the outer regions was all sunshine and rainbows!Oh, such tearful reunions make my chips run hot!Panel 5: If the high magister hadn't sent you back up, you'd be toast!For my part, I had Yannsei by my side to save me.Yes, well, I didn't want to drag you into it and put you all in harm's way… it was… personal.Panel 6: Not so fast!Even if our goals may differ, we're still fighting the same fight! We need to work together!So no more solo ventures?Got it!Panel 7: He's right, Nävis. We're a team.No…Panel 8: We’re more than that…We're a family.
