The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Ed and Chang sitting at an outdoor cafe table.
Caption: With the Christmas truce extended, Ed and Chang continued their dialog.
Ed: So Chang, what are your orders?
Chang: Ed, I'm not at liberty to ...
Panel 2
Looking over Chang's shoulder at Ed.
Ed: You're at liberty to do whatever you choose to do.
Ed: Okay, you have secret orders and you feel duty bound to keep them secret, right?
Panel 3
Looking over Ed's shoulder at Chang. Chang is looking uncomfortable.
Ed: Only, I bet you were lied to about what you would find here and the true purpose of your mission. Am I right?
Chang: Ed, I have my duty to the UW.
Panel 4
Medium close-up of Ed – leave room for his extra dialog.
Ed: But doesn't the UW have a duty to you?
Ed: You are an officer. You could have declined the assignment, asked for another or tendered your resignation. But you were told a lie that took those options off the table.
Panel 5
High angle shot of the two men at the table, placed so that we can clearly see the look of uncertainty on Chang's face.
Ed: Would you have accepted this assignment if you had known the truth?
Chang: I really don't know. I have always followed the orders I was given.
Chang: Now I'm a bit … confused.


Panel 6
Looking past Chang at Ed.
Ed: Can you tell me what you were told you would find when you got here?
Chang: I guess so, and I'd like to hear your confirmation or denial.

Panel 7
Looking past Ed at Chang.
Chang: I was told that UW citizens visiting Ceres have been harassed, accosted, robbed and maybe worse.
Chang: I am sworn to protect UW citizens.

Panel 8
Two-shot of Chang and Ed, both of them sharing an ironic smile.
Ed: I thought the UW believes we are UW citizens. How are you protecting us?
Chang: You guys seem pretty well prepared to protect yourselves.
