It looks like right now they just need to answer a question from the mayor first to clear everything up.

an officer assigned to a specific group from another agency and/or organization, who's job is to facilitate and help coordinate exchange of information and collaboration between the military branches/law enforcement agencies/other organizations. only ever applied to members of police military or inteligence, civilians in a similar role have different term.

No. A cop was killed and Marion would like to know why.

If fishing cost 100 manats, or equivalently 59 or 29 USD, depending on whether Marion is talking about the Azerbaijani or Turkmenistan currency respectively, I'd complain too

OH! xD
Didn't realize it's a currency... I thought it's a weird mistyping of the German word Monat wich means month - which would make at least some sense with the twenty years...

Have some faith, in Marion, Jessica. Though, I guess she did say “may”.

That’s very good advice for medical professionals, Kari.

Poor Marion, Interested In Global Voices can be a dry read, and the movie isn’t much better .

That’s true, Kari, humans can walk with or without animals.

So, the gargoyles divide their time between this tunnel and the Kenyan sky, and they apparently get dressed? Interesting.

Maybe the gargoyles get Kari deals on pun books and craftiness lessons.

addition, not addiction. no c.

he's clearly showing Marion something to do with the titular event and then not letting him go, because the tunnels aren't finished.
and then the last panel looses the plot entirely.

I wanna know what Lois will be watching. Squirrels don't really have that much of a routine other than scurrying across trees and power lines and finding and burying acorns. Or is she gonna be watching to see if this squirrel really is Marion? :o

I don't think squirrels would enjoy getting onto powerlines... hundreds of thousands of volts may fry them easily. And then they'll turn into protein like the Russian translation tries all the time.

Well, at least Lois feels for Marion.

Lois, do you want to go there or not?

Marion has a point learning the material is a good thing to do.
