For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.
Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.
The Transcript For This Page
Panel 1
Free Bird is landing, at this point just a few dozen feet above the pavement. Gear down, but no running lights. Night-time sky, but light enough we can see the craft against it.
Bert: Incredible how quiet these engines are in full-stealth mode.
Ernie: Also incredible how low the landing speed – we can't be doing more than 50 knots.
Panel 2
The bird is parked near some blocky, nondescript buildings. We see her from behind, where a ramp has descended from the cargo bay, and the runabout, with Bert, Ernie, Mac and Nisa aboard, has just hit the ground running. Bert is at the wheel, with Nisa riding shotgun.
The runabout looks like a 6-wheeled ATV, but with a light chassis, and just big enough to seat four people comfortably.
Nisa: Looks like no one saw us land.
Bert: So far, so good.
Panel 3
Closer shot of Bert and Nisa, Ernie and Mac in the runabout. We can see now that they're all wearing night-vision visors (sort of like the visor Ernie usually wears).
Ernie: Hey, do you know where we're going?
Bert: Yes, I've memorized the layout, and even the route from runway to our target using a 3D simulator back at Arana's apartment.
Panel 4
Medium 2-shot of Ernie and Mac. Ernie looks uncomfortable, while Mac is grinning at him.
Ernie: Well, I hope we don't get lost because I want to get in and out quickly.
Ernie: The gravity here really sucks.
