Panel 1
*Setting: Alex’s home workshop. Alex is tinkering with a new gadget, surrounded by wires, circuit boards, and a small robotic arm. Sam is reading a tech magazine at the workbench.* *Alex:*
Alex: Hey Sam, I’m working on a new security system that uses cryptocurrency to keep us safe!
Panel 2
*Setting: The living room. Alex and Sam are watching TV, which shows a news report about a crypto heist. Robin bursts in, panting and clutching a newspaper.* *Robin:*
Robin: Guys, I just heard about this crazy crypto robbery. It’s insane!
Panel 3
*Setting: Back in the workshop. Alex is enthusiastically showing off his new gadget, which is now connected to a monitor displaying a digital security barrier. Sam and Robin look skeptical.* *Alex:* *Robin:* *Sam:* (deadpan)
Alex: See, this gadget will detect any crypto thief and send them a virtual bouquet of flowers instead of money!
Robin: Uh-huh, and I’m sure they’ll find that incredibly reassuring...
Sam: Yeah, we’ll be so secure, they’ll think twice before breaking in. Because nothing says ‘go away’ like a virtual daisy chain.
