The top panel is a sort of flashback to ch. 5 pg. 3.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
EDIT: Oooh, I just saw that the thousandth comment is fast approaching! Whoever supplies the thousandth comment gets a free signifikat book (Probably the complete collection which is going to come out soon). But I'm not gonna tell how many comments there are so far… (Oh, and I'll only count one comment per page from now on! Don't cheat!!) ^_^
REPLIES:
mushy: Exactly! :P
mmm bacon0 Thanks!
JNP: Yes, you may… but you haven't won YET :P And his being stuck in a cell isn't exactly the alternative to working with those guys… just an indirect consequence. But if you had to choose… well… let's just say I'm glad you didn't end up in prison, but with a good job instead :P Ed's getting information from people isn't exactly a super-power or anything… so yes, he must have (had?) some basic charisma. I think he still does, he's just unwilling to show it :P
DAJB: Sometimes, even sad truths can make for nice dia- and/or monologue, I guess :-) Thank you very much!
Fitz: Yeah, that's the brave new world which the information industry has created for us. Where there's money to be made, there's bound to be crime too. Or semi-legal businesses… or, as in most cases, fully legal but completely amoral businesses.
alejkhan: Haha! Yeah, we're so lucky! :P

Wow, I'm glad I don't have a proper job. :P

..."siphoning information"... *shudders* It's true, data and personal information = money! There are people stealing and selling it - and people willing to buy it to make money on it. A couple of years ago, personal date leaked from our IRS about people who started working that year - soon those people had one insurance company's representatives knocking on their door all over the country.

Sadly, he's all too right! Lovely dialogue (okay, [i]mono[/i]logue!) on this page!

Will I get 2 books if I win ANOTHER contest? XD So he would rather be stuck in this cell than at work with those guys? I found more in common with Ed XD (actually I got transferred and have a good job now but whatever, the comment was about 3 weeks too late =p) He used to get information from people? I know he can from machines, but he can do it to people too? I thought you had to have charisma for that XD

i see they want to make sure he doesn't transform anything.
