Panel 1
At dusk an intersection is jammed with cars, a green minibus and a delivery scooter under faulty traffic lights, as Rassie steps away from his car, determined.
Caption: The robots are on the blink. Green. In every direction.
Rassie: Right. Somebody has to referee this.
Panel 2
Rassie stands in the centre of the intersection with his arms out like a referee as cars from all four directions edge forward.
Rassie: Crouch. Bind. Set.

Rassie: Nobody ever did.
