Strip 139
Mr. Quantuple: Despite somewhat enjoying this chit-chat, I think it is getting time to push the button.
Max: Wait! We still have so many questions!
Mr. Quantuple: You will have to find the answers on your own.

Lightning bolts shoot towards the chair Mr. Quantuple is sitting in, engulfing him in blinding light while he has a painful expression on his face.
SFX: BZZZZZZZZTTTT CRAAAACK

The whole office has gone pitch black.
Someone 1: What the heck happened? Is everyone all right?
Someone 2: Yes, I am OK.
Someone 3: Me too, but power seems to be out, maybe across the whole floor.
Someone 2: Time for the smartphone flashlight.

We see our hero's faces lit by flashlights. One of the lights shines on Mr. Quantuple, who is not moving.
Heidi: Is he…
Max: Yeah, he is pretty dead. He did not lie about that.

Zhang: I think we'd better not stay here. Someone may soon figure out that the power surge came from here, and if they find us here with this dead guy in this totally FUBAR situation…
Max: I agree, let's get the heck out of here. Adil, can you hear us? Adil? Hello?

We see the team heading towards the door of the office, where there is a little bit of light from emergency lighting. Heidi grabs one of the machines on the way out.
Zhang: No damn way I am taking the elevator again.
Max: Probably not possible anyhow with the power outage. Why isn't Adil answering?
Heidi: We can't just leave here with so few answers. Let me take at least something.
