Panel 1:
Commander Dale Zurkett: What just... Zack, was that you?
Zack Del Rio: Yeah, can you believe it? I found an interface.
Panel 2:
Phoebe: Gee... that was actually pretty cool.
What'd you do, exactly?
Zack: Nothing that fancy. I got into the task manager and just started ending every process.
Basically, I caused a blue screen of death.
Phoebe: But that... do you mean... it's dead?!?
Zack: No, not so much. It's just restarting.
I need to... dammit. It's not working.
Panel 3:
Lieutenant Commander Natashia Staratt: What isn't?
Zack: I was trying to dismantle the TRACK files from outside the operating environment.
But it rebooted too fast. And now it's not responding.
Joey (aside): Phoebe? What's happening?
Phoebe (aside): It's all right, Joey. You just got mind-whacked again.
Joey (aside): Again?
Dale: Can't you do that knock-out thing again?
Zack: No, I can't. The admin backdoor I used isn't working this time. It adapted!
Panel 4:
Sideshow Bob/TRACK: The system has recovered from a serious error. Would you like to troubleshoot?
Zack: Yes! Please troubleshoot!
Bob/TRACK: Running diagnostics. Please wait. This won't take long.
Dale: Hell... Do we tie him up or something?
Ensign Hylia: I don't think that would help!
Zack: I was able to reset our guest user accounts before it kicked me out. That might buy us some time.
We really need to find a place he can't detect us. If there is one...
Panel 5:
Phoebe: We might be able to help with that.
Joey: We can?
Dale: Really? You're willing to help us?
Phoebe: Sure. I mean, you at least made him fall down. That's something.
Plus, I'm out of coffee. And the barista ran away. So...
Bob/TRACK: Function Call: Laugh.wav.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Humorous response.exe ran successfully. Continuing diagnostic check. 35% complete.
