The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Tall panel. Several of the Scouts, carrying fairly large ruck-sacks, are filing by Bert, who is checking their names on a list displayed on an electronic tablet (a bit smaller than an iPad) that he's holding.
Caption: And so, by launch day all 23 Space Scouts had their parental permissions arranged and presented themselves at the space-port, bearing packs filled with gear that the Guzmáns had designated.

Panel 2
Large panel, establishing the exterior shot of Sweet Liberty, resting on her landing struts on a tank-treaded platform just outside the space station. (The platform is for taxiing ships between the station and the landing/launch pad, located a safe distance away.) An enclosed gangway leads from the station to an access hatch on the ship, half-way along her hull. Here and there are little recesses in which reside 3-meter long, boom-like objects that might be laser cannon. She is larger than Little Toot, about 40 meters from nose to her five thruster nozzles, about 20 meters at her widest cross-section, and built for a variety of uses – mining, hauling, pleasure-cruising, and fighting. She looks sleek but also robust.
Caption: The trip to the planetoid – computed at about 80 centimes – would have been very uncomfortable for 25 people in a smaller boat, but the Brothers Guzmán had chosen Sweet Liberty in part for her roominess.
Caption: Though the ship had six staterooms and a captain's cabin, those were off limits to the gender-mixed Crew of Space Scouts. Everyone would bunk in hammocks strung up in the ship's common area.
