Panel 1
Sam, hands on hips, looks around the room. Alex, with a bright smile, is typing away at his computer.
Alex: Sam, have you seen this? The latest security breaches are costing companies billions! It’s time we got smart and put an end to it, once and for all.
Sam: I’m listening, Alex. I see a billion-dollar challenge. But before we jump into anything, you should know I’m not the optimist here.
Panel 2
Sam and Alex are at a bar, sipping drinks. A holographic advertisement of security tech is projected above them, showing a sleek, automated system.
Alex: And what could go wrong with a system like that? It’s like having a personal butler for your data.
Sam: I’m not buying it, Alex. This thing is going to turn off people’s computers and turn them into robots. Or worse, it’s going to have a mind of its own and decide people are a threat.
Panel 3
Alex, eyes wide, laughs.
Alex: Oh Sam, you’re still the pragmatist. I’m just seeing the future! It’s like when we were kids and you’d get really into a toy, and I’d just say, “It’ll break.” But look where we are now!
Sam: We should probably get out of here, Alex. Before you lose your laptop to the machine.
