Panel 1:

• Character 1: "HURRY INDIE! THE ARK!"

Panel 2:

• Character 2: "WE’RE ALLOWED TO BE INVOLVED IN RESEARCH ON IT, BUT IT HAS TO BE DISPLAYED AT AN IN SITU MUSEUM AND WE NEED TO GET BUY-IN FROM LOCAL INTEREST GROUPS THAT HAVE INTERNAL DISAGREEMENTS THAT INVOLVE BALANCING THE NEED FOR LOCAL JOBS AGAINST CONCERNS ABOUT OUTSIDERS VIOLATING SACRED SPACES!"

Panel 3:

• Character 3: "THERE WILL BE POLITICAL PITFALLS! SOCIAL TRAPS AROUND EVERY CORNER! THE LAST MAN TO ENTER WAS KNOCKED OVER BY A GIANT BALL OF PAPERWORK, THEN INSURANCE COVERAGE OF HIS INJURIES REQUIRED MORE PAPERWORK!"

Panel 4:

• Character 4: "MODERN ARCHAEOLOGY IS MORE ETHICAL, BUT THEY’RE GONNA HAVE A HELL OF A TIME MAKING MOVIES."
• Character 5: "QUICK! GET THE PEN FROM YOUR BELT!"
