# The Briefing

PANEL 1 | A press room. A podium. Behind it, a very tall being in a very ordinary suit, seven feet of it, with three eyes.

PANEL 2 | It reads from a card: "We can confirm nothing at this time."

PANEL 3 | A journalist, hand up: "Can you confirm what you are?"

PANEL 4 | The being, patiently: "We can confirm nothing at this time." Behind it, a second being nods, taking minutes that will not be released.
