Panel 1
Alex (holding a glowing tablet)
Alex: Whoa, look at this, Sam! Gemini's just intercepted another hacker trying to crack into our system. He says, ‘Sorry, we’ll be logging out now, I don’t like what I’m seeing.’ It’s like Gemini’s a grown-up version of me, trying to keep the house safe!
Panel 2
Sam: Alex, if Gemini’s logging people out, doesn’t that mean companies are still being hacked?
Alex: Maybe Gemini is just a test run. I mean, it’s like if you were teaching a puppy to be a good boy by giving it a treat every time it’s perfect. If Gemini’s ‘hacking’ is just an overreaction to see if we’re paying attention, it’s still a win.
Panel 3
Robin (sitting next to them)
Robin: But remember, Alex, just because you’re not seeing the damage doesn’t mean there’s no damage. Still, it’s kinda cool how you’re training your new assistant to be a superhero.
Panel 4

Robin: Especially since it’s only a pretend hacker.
