Panel 1

A flick of the other wrist actives Li Jing’s wrist mounted gas canisters.

Caption: Still, insecticide canisters remain a versatile weapon.

Panel 2

The butterfly reels. Li Jing hovers for a second in the air, once again readying her scalpel.

Panel 3

Li Jing dives, her scalpel cutting through the butterfly, separating its thorax from abdomen.

Panel 4

Butterflies fall to pieces in the background. Li Jing and others from her team glide back towards their transport.

Captions: There’s only time to tackle a few targets on each raid. Then it’s back to our aircraft and home before we’re noticed.

Panel 5

The aircraft blows up, incinerating Li Jing’s teammates.

Caption: Right... Scratch that plan.

Panel 6

The culprit was an American jet, and it’s flying right at us!

Panel 7

Li Jing charges towards the jet, her scalpel fully powered.

Caption: You’d think they might welcome our efforts to clean up their mess.

Panel 8

Li Jing and the jet collide. The jet pilot shields themselves from shattered glass as Li Jing smashes through the windshield.

Caption: Instead of classifying us as hostile forces invading their skies.
