Panel 1: The Thirsty Scientist sits across from an HR representative at a table in an office. The HR representative says, "We feel your research team has gotten a bit distracted." Panel 2: The HR representative, looking stern, says, "There have been some complaints about 'inappropriate spending' of grant money." Panel 3: The Thirsty Scientist, now looking shocked, responds, "I'm shocked. I can assure you, all funds go into cutting-edge research." Panel 4: A jump cut to a lab setting, where the Thirsty Scientist stands next to a large, muscular alien statue. She says, "All right, which one of you scumbags ratted me out?" Two lab technicians in the background look nervous.
