?>Carin: I don't understand. They said if I just gave them this one thing it'd be over. What do they want from me?
Travis: Doesn't matter, since we've agreed they aren't getting it.
Carin: Did you explain to him that the file was complete, that --
Travis: Are you on break?
Carin: If you'd just tell me what he says was --
Travis: Carin. Are. You. On. Break.
Carin: Look, I'm loyal and all, but stealing five minutes paid time from the Empire is not my biggest --
Travis: Anything we say on duty belongs to the Empire, and they can access it at will. If you're on your own time they need a subpoena. For the last time: are you --
Carin: Y-yes. Oh, God. I never thought --
Travis: We're not supposed to think about it, but I try to only make my mistakes once.
Carin: But, but, when you were in my room, when I told you all this --
Travis: I've dealt with that as best I can. Carin, I'm running late. I really need to go.
Carin: I heard you got assigned to that Court Inspector who's shown up. Is that where --
Travis: It's better if we aren't seen together more than we have to be.
Carin: I know. I -- I'm sorry. I feel terrible for dragging you into this -- all I want is, is to help make it right. If I knew why, why the file wasn't good enough -- he promised me --
Travis: I don't think your friend is big on honesty.
Carin: No, he --
Travis: I am. You are being honest with me, aren't you, Carin?
Carin: Of course! I... I... I've probably used up all my break time. I should be getting back.
Travis: By all means, let us not steal five minutes from the Empire when it's inconvenient.
Travis: Doesn't matter, since we've agreed they aren't getting it.

Detective MacHenry knows someone wants this case buried -- but Mac can’t let it go. This isn’t the usual murder-for-money: it’s a brutal killing, the kind that hasn't been seen in generations. Not since the men died.

500 pages! *confetti* A real update! *confetti*
If you're curious, Travis is referring to this incident in panel three.
In 'Kickstarter owns my wallet': news: the campaign for Kismet: Hunter's Moon is down to counting the hours, so if you want some science fiction intrigue-and-humor goodness, better grab it quick! And my collectivemate Ben Fleuter of Derelict is running a Kickstarter for his second comic, The Sword Interval. This was new to me, but I really enjoyed it: a fun and sassy story of monster hunters in a magic-apocolypse dystopian version of Earth. It's also counting down the days, so don't wait too long to check either of these great books out!
