The script

Panel 1

Alex (Waving a prototype drone) Sam (Grimacing)

Alex: Hey Sam, I've been thinking... What if we can make these cameras less scary? Like, with moving clouds to hide them?

Sam: Moving clouds? We're already hiding them with chicken wire. This could be a whole new level of stealth.

Panel 2

Robin (Interrupting)

Robin: Okay, okay. Let's make these cameras disappear for real. What if we use the town's own chaos? Like, let's start a rumor that there's a giant bird in the sky... That'll keep the cameras covered and no one talking about them.

Panel 3

Alex (With a bright smile) Sam (Rolling his eyes)

Alex: And then, we can all just forget they were ever there! It's like a big game of hide and seek, but with cameras instead of kids.

Sam: Yeah, and when the real giant bird shows up, we can say, "Oops, we forgot to hide the cameras.
