Before anyone starts complaining about sand in their shoes.

Why don’t we just get to the point? Shall we?

[pointing to Casey and Goobie-Doo]

When we first arrived, your clever companion there had found an ‘interesting stick’.

Panel 3:

PHILIP:

[pointing to Heather]

This young lady and her phone’s photograph gave us the creature.

The complaints of strange lights and smells on the beach told us where to look, and the communication problems pointed to the tower above the bluffs here.

PHILIP:

And your mayor has been trying to distract and deflect anyone from digging deeper.

Someone has been surveying the area, stirring up the seabed and has hacked into your communications array.
