Detailed Strip Info

good phil hunting (3 of 15)
strip info entered by mkinyon and approved by AsphaltBuffet
Panel Dialogue Location Props
1 Diablo: What are we doing back here? I thought we were going to find Oliver.
Fineas: Well, we asked Tarfon to send Oliver to a random destination, but as we all know, computers are incapable of creating truly random numbers.
Alternate Dimension
  • Tarfon (Hatch open)
2 Diablo: Oh yes, we all know that.
Fineas: Computers use an external "seed" number in combination with a complex mathematical formula in order to create a random number.
Alternate Dimension
  • Tarfon (Hatch open)
3 Fineas: The result appears random, but if you feed the equation the same seed again you'll end up with the same number.
Diablo: More jibberish! How does this help us find Oliver?
Alternate Dimension
  • Tarfon
4 Fineas (entering Tarfon): By returning here, we're trying to replicate the conditions under which we banished Oliver so we can wind up in the same place he and his flunkies went.
Diablo: And if we fail to replicate the conditions exactly?
Alternate Dimension
  • Tarfon
5 Fineas (driving Tarfon): Most likely we'll wind up in some random level of existence with no frame of reference to calculate a route home.
Diablo: There is no amount of sarcasm that will allow me to adequately express just how terrible this plan is.
Alternate Dimension
  • Tarfon
