[Panel 1]
[Elizabeth]
But I don't see WHY she'd
want a demon boiler when
you can get perfectly good
fire vampires at Comet.
[Nils]
I don't think

Comet as you.
[Elizabeth]
Derleth's Fire Vampires,

[Nils]

[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Does it ever trouble you, trying
to end the world with fictional
beings when nobody can even
agree on what they look like?
[Elizabeth]
Fiction is just a label
used by the small-minded
to dismiss things they are
not ready to understand.
A foolish
consistency,
and all that.
[Nils]
Does it really matter how many
tentacles a shoggoth has when
it's chewing off your arm?
[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
Exactly!
…are you making fun of me?
[Nils]
I wouldn't do that! If
your lot do turn out to
be right, I want the
best possible outcome!
[Elizabeth + Nils]

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
And of course I'll extend you the
same courtesy if we beat you to it.
Just check your Facebook profile.
[Elizabeth]
But I don't have
a… aha. Cunning.
[Nils]
They were going to
build one for you
anyway. I just
got there first.
Congratulations, you're an
expert in robot vulnerabilities
and ethical debugging.
