Panel 1

Chad arrives with a phone camera filming at the edge of the frame. AX-1 carries a box behind him.

Chad: There he is! How’s our revolutionary humanoid performing?

Panel 2

Jim gestures toward AX-1 carrying the box.

Jim: Six boxes an hour, Chad.

Chad: Excellent. And what’s preventing you from scaling?

Panel 3

Jim gives Chad a dry look.

Jim: At six boxes an hour? Mostly the six boxes an hour.

Panel 4

Chad directs the camera toward AX-1. Jim remains unimpressed.

Chad: Get a close-up. We’ll speed it up in post.
