LMAB S1E1 Cover. A simplistic lineless drawing of Allison falling down (presumably from some sort of hole). In the bottom of the canvas, there's Bletchley Park. [November 28, 1939 - Bletchley, England] Allison and Isabelle walk through the woods with their satchels. Allison seems to be thinking, and Isabelle gets her to 'come back to reality'. Then they start talking. The dialogue goes: [Isabelle]: Allison? Allison! Is everything alright? [Allison]: I'm fine, Isabelle. I just miss my father. I'm wondering what he does at, well, work. Wartime work. He refuses to tell me anything about it other than how 'secret and important' it is. Allison and Isabelle are continuing their conversation as they walk. The dialogue: [Isabelle]: I love a good mystery, but it seems like it's making you upset... Try not to think too much about it, alright? I'm sure he's doing well. And he still comes home, doesn't he? [Allison]: On Sundays, yes. [Isabelle]: And there's only five and a half days until Sunday! Just hang in there, alright? [Allison]: Uh... Alright. [Isabelle]: I __promise you__ it won't be like this for long. Perhaps until Christmas. Allison and Isabelle arrive at the former's home. The dialogue: [Isabelle]: See you later, Allison! [Allison]: Goodbye, Isabelle! Thanks for walking home with me. Allison pours down tea into a mug (*Sloshhhhh*), makes a ham and cheese sandwich, sits down at the dining room and eats it. Allison is sitting at her desk, reading a book. She gets distracted and starts looking outside. The dialogue: [Allison (Monologue)]: 'Secret and important'... Perhaps Mr. Perlman knows something about it. Allison continues to think. Also, the background panel thing is the front of her house. The dialogue: [Allison (Monologue)]: But if I want to ask him, I have to go to his house. Which means going outside. __By myself__. It's the countryside and a war is going on. Not a good place and time to go outside by yourself. Hm... I think I have an idea. Allison grabs Sigma, his plush rabbit; grabs a bar of chocolate from the kitchen cupboard, and puts on her mantelet. She looks at the chocolate bar. Dialogue: [Allison]: If I arrive at Ernie's house alive and well, I'll eat a quarter of this chocolate. If I come back home, I'll eat another quarter. Allison steps outside. Dialogue: [Allison]: Let's go! Allison walks around town, passing through the woods and a grocery store. She stops by a wall nearby the train tracks. Allison is nearby the wall, with sigma, viewed from the back. She's looking at Ernie, who's a bit further away, writing into his notebook. Ernie is writing into his notebook. The thing he wrote, with the cut off words completed is: 'Bletchley Park: Nothing to strange, other than having guards in front of the gates. Most likely just your average military base.' In the next panel, there's Allison behind Ernie's back. She says 'Ernie?' Ernie and Allison are having a conversation. Dialogue: [Ernie]: Oh hi Ally! What have you been up to? [Allison]: Uh... I was going to your house to ask about something. What about you? [Ernie]: Me? I'm looking around the town, noting down anything unusual. It's for dad. He thinks that there's been some super secret crazy thing going on here. And the most unusual thing I noticed so far is that there are military guards in front of Bletchley Park. And that's it. Ernie and Allison are talking. [Ernie]: Nothing to worry about. It's probably just your average military base. It's wartime, after all. Oh, you were going to ask about something! I'm so sorry, I got distracted. Go ahead and ask! [Allison]: 'I... I think I found the answer! Thank you, Ernie!' Allison walks through some woods while eating chocolate. She ends up nearby some spiked fence. Allison's mantelet has been thrown on top of the spiked fence, and Sigma is being thrown to the other side through between the fence. Allison climbs the fence and drops down. There's a sound effect saying 'WOOSH'. Allison lands in the outskirts of Bletchley Park. She walks on the path, and wanders around nearby the Stableyard Cottages. Allison is in front of the Stableyard Cottages. She then peeks through one of the windows of Cottage 2, sees her father on her desk working, and thinks 'Daddy?'. Arthur, Kris, and Robert are arguing indoors. Kris: 'Stop staring, Arthur! Do something. This code won't break itself!' Arthur: 'I'm trying to, Kris, but I'm *stuck*.' Kris: 'Just try random shit. Don't bother looking at the textbook, just like how Dilly says.' Robert: 'Erm, I don't think he *really* said that.' Kris: 'I know, Robert. I'm just telling what he wanted to say with my own words. It's called 'paraphrasing'. You ever heard of it? You're a linguist! Come on!' Allison moves away from the window. Arthur: 'Alright, you two really should go outside, touch some grass, and have some lunch while you're at it.' Allison (monologue): 'A pretty weird bunch.' Comic page. Allison drops down to the other side of the fence, and walks away. As she walks away, she thinks: Now I know where Daddy works at! It seems like they're uh... Breaking codes? Maybe I should help them. There isn't a reason for me to not to. In the bottom right corner of the second panel, there's a text box saying End of Episode 1.
