The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
We're going to use one large (half-page) panel to show the interior of the Odeum. It's a 30x30x20-meter room with a stage area filling most of one corner floor-to-ceiling (overhead catwalks and suchlike are hidden behind decorative baffling), a level floor that might have dinner-style seating, or rows of portable chairs, or in this case, standing-room-only. On the sides opposing the stage are stacks of 2.5-meter high balconies, which are currently also standing-room only. There are numerous decorative and lighting fixtures on the walls and ceiling, on which more people are perched or clinging in the super-low gravity. The place really is packed with people.
Handrails (for easy locomotion) run everywhere, although in the crowd they're mostly obscured. On the stage are tall vertical poles spaced a bit less than 2 meters apart, so the actors (or whoever else is on the stage) can move around quickly.
In the lower left of our panel is the stage, with Marsha at the podium. Over in the upper right, a man hanging from a fixture on the ceiling is talking back to her. Most of the rest of the audience that we can see are grinning or chuckling. Some (many of the Mascons) are not looking happy.
Marsha: People of Vesta, the Vesta Council only wants to protect you.
Man on ceiling: So you're from the government, and you're here to help us, right?
