Strip by: David Morgan-Mar, Andrew Coker

T-Rex: {with snakes for hair} I am Medusa!
{beat - close up of snakes!}
T-Rex: I am the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, the sister of Stheno and Euryale.
T-Rex: And the mother of Pegasus!
Utahraptor: What?!
{T-Rex glares at Utahraptor, who turns to stone!}
T-Rex: It's a recessive gene.

The author writes:
