The door to the supply closet is closed and the cabinets in the room are visible in the background. Panel 2: This panel is a close-up view showing Kelsie looking at the computer monitor. The top of the screen has a banner that reads "forward supply union Vend-O-matic. Below is an icon of a hand lowering a comms device onto a plastic dock with the text "Please place communicator in dock!" To the right of this are several icons in a vertical toolbar; the top is a question mark, the middle shows a symbol to switch languages, and the bottom is a gear to indicate settings. Panel 3: Kelsie's hand is shown settling her comms device into the dock with a click. The computer monitor chimes "Ding Dong!" from outside the panel from above. The screen on the comms device shows the a symbol to indicate that the docking process is occurring with a loading bar below (currently filled to around 70%). Panel 4: From the side, Kelsie is shown grabbing ahold of the monitor and pulling it towards her, and the hinge on the moving arm creeks as it moves. With her other hand, Kelsie is preparing to press something on the screen. Panel 5: This panel is a close-up on the computer monitor's screen, which is currently displaying a search menu. Kelsie is pressing the letter "s" on the virtual keyboard at the bottom of the monitor's touchscreen. At the top of the screen a search bar is displayed with the letters "NOS" currently typed in. To the right are icons of a magnifying glass (to enter a search) and an "x" to cancel the search. Between the search bar and the keyboard is a list of search results, showing an icon beside the text label for each item. The top result is "Nose Plugs", followed by "Notebook" and "Notepad". For each result there is a button to "Vend" on the right side of the screen. Panel 6: Kelsie is shown pressing on the "Vend" button.
