Panel 1:
GISELLE (french): Oh, you're back! And you speak French!
VILIS (french): Barely.
GISELLE (russian): Did you make it to 9G?
VILIS (russian): We didn't have a choice. If you'll excuse me.
Panel 2 (russian):
IVAN: So, are you feeling better?
GISELLE: As you can see. I'm fully relaxed.
IVAN: But you shouldn't crumble so much. There are uninvited guests here.
Panel 3 (russian):
GISELLE: ‘o are zey? What are zey? Mice?
Panel 4 (russian):
IVAN: I have something else that’s important. Your ESA boss wants to speak to you via smartphone. In a safe place.
GISELLE: And where is a safe place ere?
IVAN: In your quarters. After you deactivate the room surveillance.
GISELLE: It's activated by default?!
IVAN: Yes, of course! We're on Mars here, in a way. Terrible things can happen to us. Sandstorms, leaks in the cladding. Fire. You can't just run out of the station when you're looking for shelter.

Talk in a safe place? Her boss is going to tell her shes not going to mars, and is trapped in this place forever I bet!

Living in this strange kind of luxury prison wouldn't be the worst thing that can happen to Giselle.

I'm sure once her Android gets back she'll figure out something. And I bet you it's rats. They're everywhere.

Sometimes it helps to ask.
