What will happen next? Will those two vanish as well? Will this go on until all the birds have vanished? How can the viral spread of this destructively nihilistic paper be stopped? Find out here, on bird.lol.

Sorry if you don't get it, by the way, since this is a bit of an insider. All my fellow scientists, however, will recognize that bird.

Panel 1:
G is visiting H who is standing in front of a wall filled with pictures and threads, looking really exhausted and crazy.
G: Wow, ahhm, you look ... where’s all your stuff? What is all this?
H: They all vanished. I’ve been obsessed with trying to track down the missing scientists...
Panel 2:
H: ...but there’s just no trace! All I found out is that they all were in contact with a certain paper. But they vanished before it was published and I don’t know how to get access to it. If only I knew how to...
voice from outside the panel: psssssssssssssst.
Panel 3:
A strange but somehow familiar raven appears, handing them a preprint of a paper.
Strange Raven: I might have what you are looking for! You’re welcome.
