## Transcript

### Panel 1

* The Quest is still young, let's make bold choices! We Stay!
* Ori, ready your weapon. If Lioness and Bear are going to fight, so are we!

...finally someone's on the same page as me, whoever you are.

### Panel 2

Lioness: ! Bear, make sure you stay in the clear of whatever Magpie is planning, yeah ? That thing looks like pure crystal, and I don't want to be caught in the crossfire.

### Panel 3

...I want to tell Lioness that she has the wrong idea, and that I don't actually have any magic at all... but this blade is doing its job of intimidating her, and I hope it'll work on this person, as well...

* Don't use violence yet. First, ask who they are and what they want

SIZZLE

### Panel 17

Mallory: Ye !

THIS IS **MALLORY TODD.** SHE'S A CONVICT ON DEATH ROW, NORMALLY

AND THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SAME PERSON AS THE ONE WHO KILLED ORI LAST TIME

### Panel 18

AS I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS NEW WORLD, I FOUND A LARGE AMOUNT OF WORLDS WHERE THIS PERSON KILLS YOU VERY QUICKLY. OUT OF MILLIONS, ONLY 1 WAS DIFFERENT. THAT'S THE ONE WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS PERSON SEEMS TO ALWAYS COME OUT OF NOWHERE TO KILL YOU, BUT AS LONG AS THEY DON'T DO IT HERE, I DON'T REALLY CARE. **THEIR NAME IS QUINN DAVID JOHNSON, SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR.** INTERESTINGLY, THIS IS ALSO THE ONLY WORLD WHERE I'VE SEEN MALLORY. I'M SURE SHE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH QUINN NOT MURDERING YOU.

### Panel 19

I'M GOING TO GO FIND ORI. I'LL LEAVE YOU HEAR WITH QUINN AND MALLORY. MALLORY CAN'T HEAR OR SPEAK DIRECTLY TO YOU, BUT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO INFLUENCE HER LIKE YOU DO WITH ORION. CONSIDER IT A TEMPORARY ... CHANGE OF CHARACTER. BRB.
