Panel 1: The creature gets to his feet on the metal stretcher, gaining his balance.

Panel 2: A close-up of the creature’s face. He looks very worried and wide-eyed.

Panel 3: He perches on the edge of the stretcher and says to himself, “Where am I?!”

Panel 4: A close-up of Richart’s face as he speaks.

Richart: Play the tape.

Panel 5: Garbled text plays from somewhere. It is extremely difficult to read. Several words and phrases can be made out, including “is a table with a variety of weapons: knives,” “weapons,” and “you may begin when ready.”

The creature leaps from the stretcher, knocking it over with a loud CLANGGG.
