Panel 1: A brown haired, brown eyed man, clean shaven, dark blue suit, light blue tie, white dress shirt. Face to waist.

Panel 2: A blonde, blue eyed woman, dark shades, dark blue suit, vivid red tie, white dress shirt. Face to waist.

Panel 3: Tall, black haired, dark skinned man, bushy eyebrows, dark shades obscuring his eyes, white shirt, arms folded over his chest.

Panel 4: Someone holding a gun-shaped autocaster, which is firing. It's distinctly not a gun, as there's no trigger, hammer, or barrel. Also, rather than its firing being marked by an explosion, we see our first Far Side of Utopia magic. This one looks like two concentric circles of nearly the same diameter, with a five pointed star spanning the inner circle. 17 tiny magic glyphs are spread out nearly evenly between the two circles. The whole symbol is a translucent light blue.

Kalisto Summers, bubble spread over panels 1 - 4:

Corporate enforcers? I am an IDS investigator-

Panel 5: Kalisto, face to knees. Her hair has swished to the right. Her left hand is raised. Her magic has presented itself behind her as a large light blue barrier, flat rectangular, with think borders that have magic symbols making it almost look like a large sheet of roll-fed printer paper with magic symbols instead of chads. Between the inner two vertical lines on the side, there's just a simple pair of lines running from the bottom corners to meet together at the top center. There's a big blue ball right behind her barrier, suggesting the autocaster user's blast hit her barrier. She's not bothering to actually look at her opponents.

Kalisto:

Bringing autocasters to pick a fight with a real mage, not the best idea.

Panel 6: Kalisto's left eye, the top left quarter of her head. She's still not turned enough to see her opponents with her eyes, but she's apparently instinctively tried moving her eyes to see them anyway - but not to the point of her pupils rolling back. Blonde has her right arm raised, and has a pair of magic circles, one at her feet and the other over her right hand. These are simple one ring circles with five pointed stars. The top circle has free-floating glyphs around its outer edge.

Kalisto:

Well, at least you brought a natural mage-

Panel 7: Kalisto's now looking upset, with her mouth in a yelling pose. She has still not actually bothered to face her attackers.

Kalisto:

Seismic- Are you insane, we are underground! That will-

Panel 8: Blonde's magic has just fragmented and is rapidly fading. Kalisto has finally turned to look at her attackers, as this has surprised her enough that even she needed to actually see it with her eyes.

Kalisto:
