Panel 1
Alex is seen tinkering with an old calculator. Sam looks up from his paperwork, eyebrow raised.
Alex: Hey Sam, I’ve got a plan. Let's use AI to predict all possible mishaps in the workplace, then add it to insurance rates. It's like making the universe pay for the apocalypse, but safer. Just kidding, apocalypse not included.
Sam: Apocalypse not included? That’s your best pitch? Really?
Panel 2
Alex claps his hands together, wide-eyed. Sam chuckles, shaking his head.
Alex: I got it! How about we call it ‘Apocalypse Plus’? A premium for corporate liability! And hey, we'll make it optional for those who don't believe in the end of days.
Sam: You're going to make this a thing, aren't you?
Panel 3
Robin enters the room, a smile on her face. Alex and Sam exchange a look, then burst into laughter.
Robin: I hear you’re inventing something to predict the future. I’m totally in. Just make sure it doesn’t predict me having too many cookies. I can't resist that stuff.
Alex: Cookies, Robin? You win. Let's make this a team effort.
