V&B arrive in the vicinity of the Galatic Core Exchange (GCE). A colossal space station that is 36kms talk and 12kms in diameter. The GCE orbits Sagittarius A* about 122 million kms from the black hole. Verrnack and Blupirk's ship is tiny by comparison.

At 15kms out, Verrnack and Blupirk are making their way to level 3 of the super-station.

Verrnack & Blupirk are getting ready to fly into a landing area in section 3 of the super-station.

Into the station the tiny Mark I runabout ship that V&B travel in is finally entering the super-station.

A two-panel black-and-white Verrnack & Blupirk comic with a full-color dream sequence. In the top panel, inside their domed UFO, Verrnack asks, “What is on your mind, Blupirk?” Blupirk replies, “the huge celebration we’re going to have…” In the bottom panel, Blupirk smiles dreamily while imagining a giant thought bubble in vivid color: a disco-ball-lit awards celebration with Blupirk wearing dark sunglasses, a large gold VB chain, surrounded by piles of glowing VBit coins, glitter, sparkles, and beams of colored light. The fantasy suggests an absurdly glamorous winner’s ceremony at The Galactic Core Exchange.

Black-and-white two-panel Verrnack & Blupirk comic set in space with scattered stars. In the top panel, inside their domed UFO, Verrnack asks, “Hey Blupirk, how did your card game turn out?” Blupirk replies that they have won an irrationally large jackpot and have been invited to dock at The Galactic Core Exchange orbiting Sagittarius A* at a safe distance to collect their winnings. In the second panel, the UFO flies onward as Blupirk says they should create a large perpetual grant for the VBiversity back home. Verrnack responds, “Well, let’s go visit The Galactic Core Exchange. Set course for Sagittarius A*.” The tone is playful, optimistic, and science-fiction absurd.
