[Long description:
A sketchy comic of a brick wall of a space soldier holding down the fort behind some rubble. She loads some sorta oversized pistol-bayonet, while a scrappy little research assistant brandishes her tiny revolver behind her.
R.A.: You’re so cool, Chief. It’s like, you never get angry or afraid. How do you do it?
The Chief is impassive.
Chief: I can’t.
The R.A. just kinda looks at her. The Chief continues.
Chief: It was programmed out of me.
The R.A. squints dubiously at her.
R.A.: Like metaphorically??
Chief: Surgically.
The Chief indicates some metal ports in the back of her neck, deadpan. The R.A. starts to lose her composure, equal parts exasperated and mortified.
R.A.: Did it hurt?
Chief: Yes.]
