## Transcript

### Panel 1

* Ask Quinn why they brought you over. Well, besides your ginger hair, pretty face, and sparkling personality, of course.

Quinn: Very charming.

Mallory: You think so? I've still got game after 10 years in the dungeons?

Quinn: ....... Sure, whatever. Now, the reason you're here...

Mallory: *Ha, they **do** think I'm charming.*

### Panel 2

* Fiddle with your handcuffs when Quinn isn't looking.

Quinn: You're here to help me solve the Aberration case; I'm sure you've heard of it.

Mallory: Yup.

Quinn: I put in a request to have you transferred to my custody so that you could help. Normally, the higher-ups would never agree, but I suppose they're just **that** desperate. I heard about your case 10 years ago, and thought your Gift would be... ...Extremely valuable. What is it called, again?

### Panel 3

Mallory: Word-by-word-parsing audiovisual psychogalvanometer. In layman's terms, a "**lie detector**".

Quinn: "psychogalvanometer" ! I knew it was something like that. Anyway, I remembered hearing about your Gift back then, so I decided to look into it now. It's impressive, Todd ! I'm very happy they approved the request.

### Panel 4

Quinn: Mine's hunting - enhanced tracking and, you know, just finding stuff in general. The heritage also helps ! Werewolves are good hunters already, so I'm pretty amazing. Here's your breakfast. I don't know what you like, so I just made you a bunch of bacon.

### Panel 5

Mallory: I love bacon ! ! !

Quinn: Wait. When did you take those off?

### Panel 6

* change out of those clothes, Mallory! Surely your friend has something more cute and less criminal.

Quinn: I mean, you already got out of the cuffs, so... I guess it's okay?

Mallory: **PLEASE** Have you **SEEN** what I'm **DEALING WITH HERE**

Quinn; I don't know if I have anything that would fit you, though...

### Panel 7

Mallory: **Every moment spent in this PRISON GARB is suffering**

Quinn: O-oh, sorry. You can look in my suitcase... It's still in the hallway, I didn't unpack yet.

Mallory: Alright, let's see what you've got in here ! ! We're a team now! Buddy cops are meant to share wardrobes !

Quinn: Buddy cops? ? Is that us now?

Mallory: Ye ! !

### Panel 8

Mallory: But, you know, I've heard about you before, too. (Holy shit this is comfy.)

Quinn: You have?

Mallory: yeah. You've got a pretty good reputation, wolfcop. They call you Bloodhound 'cause you're so awesome at tracking, Right?

Quinn: That's right. It's what I do. I told you !

### Panel 9

* Ask Quinn what exactly your job is going to be. Are you guys partners now or??

Quinn: Didn't you call us "buddy cops" earlier ? Doesn't that imply - -

Mallory: That was just a joke ! ! An icebreaker ! I need to know for sure ! ! **What are we, Quinn!?**

Quinn: .............. Yeah, I guess we're partners.

### Panel 10

Quinn: Your job will be to listen to what everybody we talk to says, and tell me if anyone says something **sketchy.** Think you can handle that?

Mallory: Yes sir !

HEY, I'M BACK. ARE YOU GUYS HAVING FUN?

Mallory: I was **born** to detect sketchy dialogue, I won't let you down!

WE CAN GO BACK TO ORI WHENEVER YOU'RE READY. JUST SAY THE WORD.
