The Transcript For This Page

Strip 070
Panel 1
Very large panel, showing the comet 'Eight-Ball' with Sweet Liberty near the center of the facing surface, and a network of light lines appearing to grow across the surface from the bottom of the ship.
Caption: The Scouts' tethers were long enough to allow them to progressively extend the guide lines outward from Sweet Liberty.
Caption: In this way, a network of bright-green guide lines eventually came to criss-cross the comet's inky surface.
Panel 2
Ernie is directing a group of 12 scouts (the boys) who together are carrying what looks like a really large, folded-up bag away from the ship (we can see an open cargo-bay hatch in her side).
Caption: Ernie divided the Scouts into two work gangs, to set up two 'space-tents,' one for the girls and one for the boys.
Caption: 'Space-tents,' or 'habs,' were inflatable habitats, often used by rock miners as temporary shelters in vacuum and other hostile environments.
Panel 3
Ernie is now helping the girls set up their tent, anchoring the base to the surface with pitons.
Caption: The two habs were not just to keep boys and girls apart.
Caption: If either hab suffered a catastrophic failure, the other would become a safety haven.
Caption: Belters had developed a belt-suspenders-and-Velcro mentality out of hard experience.
