The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Larger panel – Cerereans and soldiers, both with handguns in their holsters, casually mingling in the plaza. There are a few small tables still out where games are being played. Others are just standing around conversing. In the background, some people from both groups dancing.
Caption: Christmas started uneventfully. Locals and soldiers engaged in conversation, games, and when a sound system had been set up, dancing.
Caption: Everyone seemed to be having fun, but a growing sense of foreboding grew as Christmas progressed.
Panel 2
Medium close-up of Ed in the Plaza, leaning against a fountain railing and looking about. Chang approaches him from the middle distance.
Caption: But just short of 24 hours …
Chang: Time's about up, Ed. I have my orders
Panel 3
Ed continues leaning casually against the railing as he speaks with Chang.
Ed: No it's not, Chang.
Chang: No, Ed, Christmas began 24 hours ago on the International Date Line. Time is up.
Panel 4
Larger panel – now they're in a different part of the plaza, and Ed has a large electronic pad and a stylus with which he has drawn a diagram. The diagram shows a Mercator projection of the Earth's surface, divided into the 24 major time zones, with a bunch of arrows and brackets above and below. Chang is smiling.
Caption: Ed drew a diagram showing how the days overlapped with each other so that while a given day just lasted 24 hours in any one location, that day exists somewhere on Terra for 48 hours.
Ed: It's Christmas somewhere on Terra for 48 hours.
