Panel 1: Naomi Atarah, rising from her crouch and reading her fists. She looks calm.

Mr. Orange, square bubble:

She'll try to get to me before I finish calculating.

Panel 2: Naomi, tilted forward about 60 degrees from vertical, running.

Mr. Orange, square bubbles:

Another rookie mistake.

If an experienced opponent leaves an opening...

It's always a trap.

Panel 4: More geometric lines, this time mostly wavy, with more glyphs. Two bright balls of energy are also shown.

Mr. Orange, square bubble:

Panel 5: Mium Efaite, standing behind Mr. Orange. Two of Mr. Orange's magic circles are still visible, but the balls of energy from panel 4 are visible, and the glyphs within the circles are gone, replaced with jagged interference lines. The top of Mr. Orange's head, his right eye and part of his right cheek. He's attempting to look behind himself by turning his eyes, but failing.

Mr. Orange, square bubbles:
