The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Reggie and Babbette walking along a concourse not unlike one of those at the Denver International Airport.
Reggie: Our airbus to Venusville leaves in just – 20 minutes.
Babbette: Having trouble adjusting to the Terran clock, 'Waldo?'

Panel 2
Reggie and Babbette walking down a gangway, just past the ticket clerk.
Reggie: The clock and the gravity, 'Wanda.'
Babbette: More than twice what we had on Mars. Glad I took my vita-bots.

Panel 3
Wide-shot. The airbus, a 1/5 scale, stubbier version of the space-going V-ships, is gliding in towards the floating city Venusville.
Venusville has a footprint about 10 km square, although the footprint is a collection of 7 circles, touching at the edges, with the internal gaps filled by a 10-meter-thick plate of conduits, passageways and support struts and girders. Atop most of the circles are buildings of various sizes and styles, except for the middle circle which is a large arboretum and park. Underneath the circles, the support systems for the city form an inverted dome-shape corresponding to each circle. These works are all enclosed in a large, blimp-like airskin, full of Terran-style air, which provides the ship's buoyancy.
The surrounding Venusian sky looks like Earth's lower stratosphere, with cumulus-type clouds all around, and thin cirrus-like clouds above, and an opaque blanket of clouds below obscuring the surface.
Caption: Reggie and Babbette had a few hours to get their 'Venus-legs' as the airbus conveyed them to Venusville, the largest of the planet's floating cities.
