PAGE 26 (Four panels)

Panel One: Macneil, standing behind the tray we’ve just seen in the previous panel, looking down at it.

Caption: And we think that knowing why would be the key to preventing future attacks. Saving lives, Dr. Montclair.

Panel Two: Hope, looking down at one of the panels on one of the pedestals, focusing on it intensely (she really doesn’t want to look at anything else in the room).

Hope: I see this is very serious, but I don’t understand why you’ve come to me. Isn’t this a FBI or a CDC matter? Or something for the military?

Panel Three: Another view looking down at Xu and Hope from “within the cylinder.”

Dr. Xu: It’s the brains, Dr. Montclair. They’re active. They appear to be thinking. And remembering. And feeling…

Panel Four: Xu and Macneil side by side. Xu is leaning forward slightly, his hands outstretched, as if in a gesture of supplication. Macneil stands straight and looks tough and stoical.

Dr. Xu: If we could just know what they thinking, it might be a vital clue…

Macneil: We might be able to prevent future attacks…
