Page 2 first text balloon, this what I can may out
What do you mean _________________ no payment ye fine sorry __________

[GodWilling]

I'd guess it's:

What do you mean 'There's no payment in the system'?

But I don't think it matters. The point is that it's behind a door and it can hardly be heard.

Very nice to see this prologue!

I think my sympathies are still with Andrea at the end of things. Given that she was droned, and Nick ended up with everything.

It doesn't sound like either of them were remorseful about cheating behind Julie's back, but Nick has the added level of suck for going through with cheating, but refusing to break it off...and it looks like Andrea didn't get on board with Ruby-izing the others until it had been done to her...

Still, the end result was marginally better than Quine's original plan.

Great to see pre-transformation character designs again, particularly since we never got a look a pre-Ruby Andrea in the main series.  Pre-transformation Julie looks great as well, and that final short of Andrea is lovely.  As much as HMB and 'Rubies' is known for the giant-breasted, elaborate hair looks of the final stage of transformations (and I love those), I really do like how the ladies look pre or partially Rubified.

[Haight]

Eh, with how the Rubies seem to work, she's probably pretty darn happy, in the end.

This has been my favorite story line by far, wouldn't mind seeing more of the Rubies world. The rubies society has lots of possibilities. Think about how fashions would change, women with huge tits walking around topless, women flaunting there sexuality, whether they want to or not.
