The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Large panel, establishing shot of the Hangar. A huge area about 200x200x300 meters. The wall surface area is roughly half-rock and half-metal structures, several of them with windows. There are several cradles in which rest spacecraft approximately Toot's size, some a bit bigger, some a bit smaller, including Drenkowski's fighter. Each ship in a cradle has an air-tube snaked out from the hangar wall and attached to the ships via universal adapters.

Drenkowski's voice (filtered): Gentlemen, welcome to Damocles Station.

Panel 2
Grappling arms guide Toot into an empty cradle. An air tube is already snaking towards the Toot's main exit hatch.

Drenkowski's voice (filtered): Please stand by while we secure your craft and establish pressure lock.

Panel 3
Close 2-shot of the brothers in the pilot's cabin. Ernie is looking at a panel off to his right. Bert looks a bit at a loss.

Ernie: Airlock telltale shows green.

Bert: Now what?

Panel 4
Looking over Bert's shoulder at a viewscreen on his console, near where Bert's comm is still docked to the controls, the face of Drenkowski appears.
Drenkowski (filtered, from comm): Please gather any personal belongings you wish to bring – including your comms – and exit your craft.
Drenkowski (2): We will transfer to the surface, where you will meet your host ...


Panel 5
Close two-shot of Ernie and Bert, looking shocked at what they're hearing.
Drenkowski (filtered, OP): ...Sv. Tobikuma Kobayashi, who invites you to spend a few days as his guests on the Little Prince Estate.
Panel 6
Looking at Bert and Ernie from behind, affording a view out the front viewport. We see a windowed structure in front of Toot. Bert and Ernie are looking at each other (so we can see their profiles), chattering excitedly.

Bert: We're hauling ice for Tobikuma Kobayashi? He's the richest man in the … in the ...

Ernie: ...ever. Reclusive inventor of the whole fricking 'Quantum Entanglement Network!'

Panel 7
Looking at Ernie and Bert from the console POV again. Ernie is overwhelmed, hand clapped on forehead; Bert has unfastened his seatbelt and is hoisting a rucksack as he rises out of his acceleration couch.
Ernie: Lord love a duck! His 'estate' is an entire terraformed world. We're not worthy.
Bert: In which case, we'd better not keep the man waiting.
