Panel Three

Blue is on the scene, covering the story, and reading from her smartphone.

Blue: Hello, Green. I am just now receiving information that the AI did advise users in the proper methods to cook the dangerous mushrooms. The fungus was described as “edible, but rare” and going great with butter.

Panel Four

Green asks a question and Blue becomes defensive.

Green )off-screen): Shocking. Tell me, Blue, what is planned to deal with this dangerous scenario?
