[Panel 1]

In Paris...

[Yves]
I realise the London office
sent you, but I'm sure we can
deal with this ourselves...

[Nils]
Let's have the details. We
can sort out who's the hero
later. Why couldn't you patch
against this virus?

[Panel 2]
[Yves]
Because the software
vendor only certifies unpatched
machines. We patch, we lose our
support contracts.

[Nils]
And they won't help you
with a failure that's not directly
part of their software.

[Panel 3]
[Nils]
Not a problem. I've dealt
with this before. Unfortunately
I had to leave my toolkit behind...

[Nils]
...anywhere round here
I can get a few litres
of petrol and a match?

[Yves]
We tried that. The virus just
reversed the cooling fans. Now
we have a real "firewall".

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
Only one thing to do
then. Promote it to the
board of directors.

[Yves]
Ah, oui, where we put all the
other viruses in the company...
