Panel 1

Alex, Sam, and Robin are in Alex’s cluttered workshop, surrounded by gadgets and inventions. Alex is holding a laptop with a screen that reads

Alex: Hacker's Lair.

Alex: You know what this means, guys? We’re one step closer to making a movie about us!

Panel 2

Robin is looking at Alex with a confused but amused expression, while Sam has a skeptical look on his face.

Robin: Are you saying hackers will cast us in a movie now?

Sam: Or maybe they’re just interested in our home addresses and phone numbers.

Panel 3

Alex is grinning widely, holding a new gadget he’s just invented. Sam (deadpan)

Alex: Either way, I’m inventing a device to track down these hackers and maybe write a screenplay too!

Robin: Sounds like a plan, but maybe start with a better password for your laptop.

Sam: Or just don’t leave it unattended next time.
