Panel 1: We cut inside as Kernel says "Mrow?" and in the background it translates to "Hello?" in a neutral yellow pattern. Panel 2: At a standing desk in mostly darkness save the glow of welding gear is a one-armed man in coveralls. There's electrical testing gear and robot arms all over the place as well. Panel 3: Kernel yells louder "MROW!" startling the man at the desk. Panel 4: The man turns around and says to Kernel, "Oh! Hi Kernel." Panel 5: The man, wearing a name tag reading "Jonas" says to Kernel "Here's the schematics with comments as requested." and produces the chip from the earlier mission report. The robot arm on the desk is giving Kernel some head pats that the cat seems happy to receive. Panel 6: Jonas clicks the chip into a slot on Kernel's neck, and the background reads "Chip acquired!" Panel 7: Jonas waves goodbye to Kernel and tells him "Be safe out there!" as the cat hops off the table to leave.
