We see guards standing up behind them. VATICAN MINISTER Gentleman, his Holiness himself, the pope, is willing to invest as much money and power required to keep this information a secret. UNITED NATIONS AMBASSADOR I agree, such a revelation could lead to total anarchy. We cannot permit normal citizen to be aware of it. RIA CORP. REPRESENTATIVE Well, we have made the discovery. Dated it a thousand times. You have seen it with your own eyes. We have found an angel looking fossil and it dates back from before the dinosaurs.
Panel 3
A guard suddenly enters the room
Panel 4
The 3 men look at the guard that just entered, annoyed and intrigued from being interrupted in their talk. UNITED NATIONS AMBASSADOR We gave strict orders not to be disturbed! I hope it's important. What is your inquiry?
Panel 5
The guard, in "garde Ă vous", tells them GUARD Pardon my intrusion sir. Intel has informed us that there has been a leak of information. A photograph containing a GPS digital seal showing the fossil on it's discovery site was released unto the Usenet network a couple of hours ago.

Enter area by passing under the tape. Panel 3
We see scientist talking around a fossil on the ground. The fossil is shaped like an angel. It has the body of a human, but it has wings. SCIENTIST 1 I am dazzled. The fossil of an angel. God himself didn't predict that happening. SCIENTIST 2 The bible is just a story, inspired by ancient relics and written by ingenious minds trying to cheat people with false beliefs. This fossil is a proof of that. SCIENTIST 3 It doesn't deny the existence of Angels as the bible explains it. It just leaves us to believe they are real and used to walk the earth.
Panel 4
Overview of the entire delimited area. The 3 scientists around the fossil. 2 guards around them and the Starbuck's local delivery man. SCIENTIST 2 The bible states that earth was created in seven days. For humans to live in, as an eden. Not as a host for angels. Angels are just a legend, this is the proof, the bible is just a myth of ancient men who probably found traces of this angel specie and hid it from the world. GUARD Hey you! Where do you think you're going? LOCAL DELIVERY MAN Coffee, ordered coffee. I bring, 20.85$
Panel 5
The guard escorts the delivery man outside the delimited area. GUARD, PUSHING THE MAN You're not allowed in here.

Panel 4
We see Edie looking at the old computer monitor. EDIE OMG, the Internet still exists! I thought Googlenet had replaced everything. Weird, alt.binary.religion is empty. Jane would not have. Something is fishy.
Panel 5
Edie's finger starts acting out a bunch of information on the old computer keyboard.
Panel 6

Page 7 Panel 1
Edie looks at G1 EDIE G1, do bring x86 intel computer manual, execute. G1 G1, bring x86 intel computer manual, error: The supplied object is not inside positioning database. Code:#209-412.
Panel 2
Face view of Edie looking surprised. EDIE Object not in database? Of course, back then, manuals weren't tagged. They're not connected to googlenet, G1 has no way to know where it is.
Panel 3
Edie searches through the old computer box and finds a paper manual. EDIE Here it is. Ah, the feel of paper, I miss it.
Panel 4
Edie flips through the pages and read EDIE Usenet is a world-wide distributed Internet discussion system. A newsgroup is a repository

usually within the Usenet system, for messages posted from many users in different locations. There is no central server, nor central system owner. Usenet is distributed among a large, constantly changing conglomeration of servers which store and forward messages to one another. EDIE This means, I might be able to find a server on the network that still has the information. If I'm lucky, it hasn't been deleted from all servers. Page 8 Panel 1
Edie starts typing on the old keyboard once again. EDIE I got it, the IP traces back to google itself! Why would google delete informations. They are the safeguard of communication.
Panel 2
We see the screen which is written on it: Download Completed.
Panel 3
We see Edie's face, he is shocked! EDIE This is incredible. A fossil of an angel. It can't be real, but the image is timestamped and GPS stamped. Photographed 2 days ago in the Judean Desert. I see Ria Corp. OMG, this is real!
Panel 4
Picture of the old computer screen, a firewall popup shows on the screen and reads: Intrusion Detected, backtracked Google Corp.
Panel 5
Edie goes back on his regular computer to check out something. EDIE Google is trying to fiddle in my computer. They probably traced me. Everything I wear is connected, GPS traceable. CUTV inside my house probably recorded everything. Jane, they probably got Jane when I was vChating with her.
