Panel 1
Alex (excitedly waving a miniature submarine in the air) Alex:
Alex: Look Sam, I've designed a tiny submarine that can shoot bullets underwater! Who needs big ships when you've got this little guy? Isn't that amazing?
Panel 2
Sam (rolling his eyes) Sam:
Sam: Technically, we're just shooting bullets at the bottom of the ocean. But hey, it's a start. Maybe it can track ships or something useful. Who knows?
Panel 3
Robins' (climbing out of a barrel) Robin:
Robins': Wait, I can't believe it! A toy submarine can shoot bullets! What if it was a spy submarine and we could sneak into the enemy's base? This could be big, Alex! Big!
