1: We see through a tall window that the sky is darkening.
2: Julia taps at her wrist computer to begin a recording.
Julia: <digital click>
<Julia clears her throat> Mel, I think I’m… making progress. It’s so unintuitive… but… I guess I was never good with other languages.
3: Lily’s shell of a body, lit only by the glowing runes sits inert.
Julia: <coughing interrupts> I’m coming home… I have to. I miss you…
But I’m sick… thirsty… I’m tired, I… I’m so, so hungry, Mel.
I owe you a date, don’t I? I said I’d cook… <coughing interrupts>
4: The small, bent over Julia, leans on the console. The room is dark as the sky darkens.
Julia: I gotta get home… so I can cook for us… more food than we can eat…
5: Julia’s hand swipes at her computer control.
Julia huffs for breath.
6: We once again see footage of Melissa on the computer.
Melissa (from computer): I’m here. You’re here. Breathe slow.
Man! I hope that this scene is really happening to Julia, and is not just some kind of illusion.
Shoot. I’m so nervous about this story. Great writing! 🙂
It’s a recording from this page:

KILL HER ALREADY!!!
Rude
Dread…
Oh no… man, this is so tough to watch…
We haven’t seen Julia’s face for a couple of strips… I’m just waiting for the reveal.
I didn’t actually notice that little detail. Nice observation.
It’s been two strips dude.
Julia – blond
Melissa – redpurple
Hopefully we’ll soon find out what resulted when that -monster disguised as an investigator exploded and .,..
the real one had lost an eye and an arm earlier…
She’s reopened the link to the moonbase. Melissa dumped her helmet when they went back to Earth, Julia is seeing the creature. It’s all been for nothing. Melissa will never know Julia survived and had an adventure and found Lily.
