The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Establishing shot of Dr. Harmon's research vessel. It resembles Novo Argo only in that it has a rounded bottom and a blimp-shaped airskin covering (three) open decks on topside, and large propellers mounted on pylons coming out of the stern. But it's four times larger, has a contemporary 22nd-Century design, and a flying bridge (like an open pilothouse) positioned just forward of center covered by a 'bimini top' to block the Sun. In the prow there is a 'bowsprit' like Novo Argo's, serving the same practical purpose, but also a pair of extensible mechanical manipulator arms coming from just below what would be the water-line if this thing floated in water.
We can see a few crewmen doing crewmen-things on the open decks.
Harmon (from the ship): Our radar alerted us that you were closing on our position.
Harmon: Your transponder squawked Novo Argo, which I remember you renting.

Panel 2
Medium shot of Harmon in the vessel's bridge. In the background, we can see the pilot at the wheel. Harmon is speaking on his t-comm (like a cell-phone), glancing over his shoulder at the pilot as he speaks.
Harmon: Uh, Waldo, what the hell are you doing here?

Panel 3
Cut to Reggie, on the poop-deck of Novo Argo, talking into his comm in a similar fashion.
Reggie: Well, mostly we wanted to see the creatures you told us about, but we also wanted to tell you about our discovery: air spiders.
Reggie: I just sent some pictures to your comm.
Panel 4
Cut to Harmon, now holding his comm in front of him as it projects an image of one of the air-spiders on a holo-screen just above the device. Harmon looks excited.
Harmon: Wow! We haven't seen anything like that before!
Harmon: We'll have to check them out, thanks!
