A full comic page composed of six panels set inside a large underground chamber with pipes, drains, and a freshly dug tunnel opening in the wall.

In the top panels, Dr. Ventrik and Tanya stand in shallow water beneath overhead lights as Ventrik explains that something is moving south toward them. Yellow narration boxes reference calculations and risk.

In the middle panels, debris falls from the ceiling as an explosion shakes the chamber, knocking Ventrik backward. Sound effects emphasize the blast.

In the bottom panels, the tunnel opening sheds loose rock, and the final panel cuts to a close-up of hands typing on a laptop, with an off-screen voice stating, “That’s not part of the contract.”
