Panel 1
Gate Keeper: Let's check the Book of Bad Things and see if you made any other transgressions. We already know about Windows NT. I hope for your sake you've done nothing worse...
Erwin: Okay.

Panel 2
Gate Keeper: Let's see. Youo hacked into the NSA Central Server last year. You modified pictures of the President of the United States. You nearly started a border war between two African countries.
Erwin: Oh...um...

Panel 3
Gate Keeper: It looks like NT was your greatest sin. There's hope for you.
Erwin: Does that mean I can try and restart that border war?
