General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 5-12-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Dexter: So are you ladies up for another round, or would you like to do something else? A movie, perhaps? / Lynn: Nah, it's getting late. / Lynn: I have a big deployment tomorrow. Weekend down-time, you know, so we won't affect our users. I better get home and get some shut-eye. But don't let me stop you two from staying up late. / Patty: I've had my fill of "adventuring", but I might be up to a movie. A chick flick, specifically. Something with lots of flowers and crying, and where the main characters die at the end. Tragically. / Patty: A romantic comedy. Starring Jennifer Lopez, or maybe Sandra Bullock. And there has to be wedding in it. / Dexter: Help?

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 5-16-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Ki: So why do you think Dwayne called us to his office? / Nick: I'm not sure. I hope it won't take long. I need to finish that technical design doc. / Ki: Oh, um, hi, Trudy. We were just here to see Dwayne. It'll only take a moment. / Trudy: That's OK. He said he needed to talk to me about something urgent. / Dwayne: Ah, good. You're all here. Step inside, please. I need to talk with you three in private. / Nick: What's up, sir? / Dwayne: I'm sending you and Trudy on an overnight trip. Alone. Without Ki. Do you want the others in the office to hear the rest?

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 5-18-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Trudy, Nick, and Ki: You're what? / Dwayne: You heard me. I'm sending Nick and Trudy on a trip upstate. Should take about a week total. / Dwayne: Last year we did that inventory system for the distribution arm of Lakatos Pharmaceuticals. Well, word got to their upper management and they're impressed. They've invited Trudy and me up for a week of meetings as well as a big awards dinner. / Dwayne: Now I can't go; I'm meeting with Robey's Jungleworks that week. So they insisted I send our chief architect, Nick, instead. It's a big opportunity and could mean a lot more work going forward. / Dwayne: I can't send Ki with her deadline looming. So seeing as there's some... history among you three, I wanted to get things out before you go. The last thing I want is some world domination plot or parallel universe shenanigans interfering with our bottom line.

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 5-20-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Ki: Then why am I here? / Dwayne: So you know this is on the level, that it's coming from me and not some "nefarious plot". / Ki: Well... seeing as she's not exactly who I'd be nervous about... being from, well, somewhere else... / Trudy: Maybe... maybe one of us could go alone, or we can send Fooker and Sharon... / Nick: Look, we're adults and we're professionals. Put bluntly, Trudy isn't the Trudy who was our nemesis so long ago. She's proven to be faithful these past several years. We would be honored to represent GPF to such an illustrious client. Right ladies? / Trudy and Ki (reluctantly): Right...

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 5-22-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Ki: A full week alone with Trudy. Just the drive alone takes eight hours. What are you two even going to talk about? / Nick: Sexual fetishes of marketing directors. / Ki: Not funny. I don't care if she's not "our" Trudy. I still don't trust her. / Nick: Neither do I. That said, she hasn't kicked any puppies lately either. / Nick: Look, we've made a lot of mistakes with trust in the past. Trudy, Trish... but we've learned from those mistakes. She's behaved herself the past few years. I'll be open yet cautious. / Ki: Still, I want you to be armed. Maybe you can borrow something from Fooker. A Taser, or maybe a bazooka... / Nick: The "safe word" will be "monkeyshines". That's when you'll know to call in the National Guard.

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 5-25-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Trudy (thinking): A whole week alone with Nick, capped off with an elegant award dinner, too. What should I wear? What sort of signals, real or unintentional, will that choice send? / Trudy's shoulder demon: This is finally our chance to swipe Nick right out from under Ki's nose! Lure him in with as much leg and cleavage as possible then jump his bones when the moment's right! / Trudy's shoulder angel: Absolutely not! We've finally made headway restarting our life. We've come so far! We can't backslide now! Ki won Nick fair and square, so he's strictly off limits. / Trudy: Shoulder angels and demons? Seriously? Have we been finally reduced to that tired old cliche? / Trudy's shoulder demon: Which would you rather have, mop top? Us or the maniacal jester?

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 5-30-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / GPS unit: Distance to Fairview: 466 miles. Estimated driving time: 8 hours, 23 minutes. / Nick: How's that for a little Sunday drive? / Nick: Since we're going to be here a while, do you want to listen to some music? / Trudy: No thanks. / (pause) / Trudy: This is going to be a long, awkward trip, isn't it? / Nick: Only if we let it be...

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 6-1-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Nick: I know we haven't spent a lot of time alone together since... well, since that whole parallel universe incident. We've kept to ourselves, and that's probably been for the best. / Nick: We each have unresolved issues with our universes' counterpart of the other, and those will likely never be resolved. But I'm not your emperor and you're not the woman who used and manipulated me. / Nick: So let's just get this out in the open and be done with it: No lies or judgments between us, agreed? We have a fresh start, so we should start off as friends and colleagues. That past does not exist for either of us. / Trudy: Fooker didn't have a little talk with you before we left, did he? / Nick: No. Why? / Trudy: Oh, no reason...

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 6-3-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Trudy: There's something I've been meaning to tell you, but I just never found the right time. Now's as good as any. / Nick: When I left your universe, I made a promise to "my" Trudy that I would help you fit in here and start a new lift. I also told her that in spite of all she had done to me and my friends, I forgave her. You both deserved a fresh start. / Trudy: I... I don't know what... I... thank you. / Nick: Well, we've killed a half hour. Only eight more to go! / Trudy: I spy with my little eye...

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 6-6-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Desk Clerk: Ah, Mr. Wellington and Ms. Niemand! Yes, we have your reservation right here... / Desk Clerk: You have adjoining rooms on the twelfth floor. Room service is on the house, complements of Lakatos. The elevator is to your right, while the pool is to your left. / Nick: Too bad the sun's going down. The pool's probably closing. If I recall correctly, you're a pretty good swimmer. / Trudy: I'm sure they have lights. Care for a dip? / Nick: Nah, I need to log in and check some e-mails. Besides, I didn't pack my trunks. / Trudy (thinking): You don't really need them, I won't tell...

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 6-8-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Nick: "Your key to better health". I never quite got the "lock and key" connection. / Trudy: It's their name. / Trudy: Lakatos is Hungarian. It's a common surname. It originally meant "locksmith". / Nick: How the heck did you know that. / Trudy: Oh, sorry. It's my mother. She... had a gift for languages, as does Sharon's mom. I guess I absorbed some of it by association. / Nick: Fascinating. So what's Hungarian for "good night"? / Trudy: Jo Ejszakat... I think. / Nick: I won't risk spraining my tongue. Good night, Trudy.

General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip - 6-10-2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Trudy (thinking): What can't I sleep? Why can't I stop thinking about him? Why can't I just let him go? / Trudy (thinking): I lost him years ago, when I betrayed him and went mad with lust for power. In my head I know he would never accept me, and I've come to terms with that. But why can my heart -- or my loins -- get with the program? / Trudy (thinking): I'll bet he hasn't even thought about us. About what he could be doing right now with me and without Ki. I wonder what is exactly going through his head right now... / Nick is shown dreaming of cryptography related programming source code.

GPF Archive: Monday, June 13, 2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / The next day... / Mr. Tuckerman: Ah, Trudy! Good to see you again! And this must be Nick Wellington, right? / Nick: Good morning, Mr. Tuckerman. / Mr. Tuckerman: I'm glad you could make it. Your team did a smash-up job for us and I've been bragging about you to everyone. I hope your trip went well... / Trudy: Just fine, thank you. / Mr. Tuckerman: Our VP of world-wide distribution is on hand today and wants to talk to you about expanding your solution to our entire enterprise. She should be coming along any minute now... / Mr. Tuckerman: Ah, here she is! May I introduce our VP of distribution, Adrienn Lakatos.

GPF Archive: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / Mr. Tuckerman: Ms. Lakatos, may I present Trudy Niemand and Nick Wellington from GPF Software. / Adrienn Lakatos: Oh... yes... / Adrienn Lakatos: Niemand, wasn't it? What an interesting name. German, I presume... / Trudy: And I presume you are related to the Fedek Lakatos, the company's founder...? / Adrienn Lakatos: He was my great-grandfather. He grew his little apothecary shop into the world conglomerate it is today. My mother and his granddaughter, Eszter Lakatos, is the current CEO. / Nick (whispering): What's wrong? / Trudy (whispering): It's nothing? / Trudy (thinking): ...except that she's setting off all my old evil mastermind alarms.

GPF Archive: Monday, June 27, 2011 [[Note from Jeff: Needs more descriptions of visuals]] / [[Nick and Trudy are eating at a restaurant.]] / Nick: OK, What's bothering you? You've been distracted ever since we left Lakatos. / Trudy: Hmm? / Trudy: It's... probably nothing. It's that girl Adrienn. Something's not right about her. I can't put my finger on it, but she keeps setting off warning sirens in my head. / Nick: Ah, those old freedom-fighter instincts. You know, not everyone is an imperial stormtrooper or alien puppet bent on world conquest. Some people actually _/don't/_ have a hidden agenda. / Trudy: Oh, _she_ does. I can feel it. I just wish I could figure out _what_. / Nick: Perhaps it's as mundane as tricking us into a lopsided contract. After all we've been through, wouldn't _/that/_ be a hoot.
