Panel 1 [Subtitle: 1 Week Later]

Persephone (thought)

Where is everyone? They know this lab is crucial for passing.

Panel 2

Persephone (thought)

Finally got this lab report done! Hope my other group members have handed their parts in.

Panel 3

Persephone (thought)

Maybe Dr. Hiddleston can tell me why the students haven’t shown up to class lately.

Panel 4

Dr. Hiddleston

This is impossible! All my research, everything I’ve worked for, it’s not supposed to work this way, not like…

Panel 5 Dr. Hiddleston [knocking sound]

I…I’m sorry but I have to go, someone’s at the

Panel 1 Dr. Hiddleston

Eleanor! What can I do for you?

Persephone

You can call me Ellie doc, it’s no big deal. Here is my report.

Dr. Hiddleston

Oh thank you! Do you need something else?

Panel 2 Persephone

I just came to tell you that the attendance in my lab is down considerably. Did you reschedule lab times by any chance?

Dr. Hiddleston

I’m awfully sorry, but I’ve got a lot on my plate right now, no time to chat!

Panel 4 Both

Oof!!

Panel 5 Philip

Hey, watch where you’re going Ellie!

Panel 6 Persephone

I’m sorry Phil!

Panel 1 (Persephone (thought)

This doesn’t make any sense. Dr. Hiddleston

has always had an open afternoon schedule,

and there’s no way he would tolerate so many

people skipping his class.

Panel 2 Persephone (thought)

First monsters start showing up on campus, now

people I know go missing. I have no idea what’s

going on around here...

Panel 3 (Persephone (thought)

…But I think it’s time we got to the bottom of

things.

Text

Ev, I’ve found something you need to see.

Group meet at my place @ 9 tonight

Panel 4 [Later at Decoder’s house]

Decoder

So, here’s what I’ve found so far…

Issue 2 Page 9

Panel 1 Dividend

Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to how Dr.Hiddlesticks got himself a job at Queen’s after trying to re-enact the plot of Universal Soldier? Anyone?

Decoder

Hiddleston kept a very low profile after getting the boot. He changed his name, moved around a lot, and he’s got falsified records. They’re good forgeries too- at least good enough to stand up to some scrutiny. I only found out thanks to Chip’s efforts.

Panel 2 Pecs

If all this is true, I’d bet my left bicep those beasts we fought were the Doc’s handiwork. Maybe he’s using the university’slabs to continue his work in secret?

Persephone

And his students as test subjects!

Panel 3 Pecs

Wait! One of my friends was going to see Dr. Hiddleston today! I gotta go!

Panel 4 All

Wait Nick!

Panel 5 Artemis

I’ll go after Nick.

Decoder

Chip, see what else you can find out about the Professor.

Dividend

Why wait? We’ve got proof enough that this creep’s responsible. Let’s nab him now!

Panel 6 Chip

I CAN HACK INTO HIDDLESTON’S PERSONAL SYSTEMS REMOTELY AND MONITOR HIS COMMUNICATIONS. IF I DETECT ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY, WE CAN ACT TO TAKE HIM DOWN.

Decoder

I don’t think he’s doing all this by himself. He likely has somebody, maybe in the army, who’s helping him move around and protecting his identity. We need to bait them in and trap them both for this to work. Chip says he can keep digging.

Dividend

Ah… fine. But he better dig up the dirt fast. We can’t risk any more students getting hurt, or worse…
