The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE (upper lefthand quarter of page)

Three-shot, the two Jendynes and Tarrant.

Demondion-Echeverria: 'He is Hanebuth Tarrant, Gav. He -- '

Tarrant: 'I was once exactly what you see, a common Hanoverian
sailor.'

PANEL TWO (upper righthand quarter of page)

Tight corner cameo of Tarrant, looking reflective. In his mind's
eye, we see a memory. A young woman (she looks like Ayn Rand) stands
at the steering-ball of a sloop-of-war -- a ship small enough that it
has no elevated decks surrounding the maindeck. The control function
is carried out at one edge of the deck. The young woman wears a
thrustible on one arm.

Show some crew, including Tarrant.

Tarrant: 'I was aboard the little ship the Ceo's sister commandeered
to avoid an arranged marriage.'

PANEL THREE (lower lefthand quarter of page)

Show the Milky Way Galaxy and its companion, the Sagittarius Dwarf
Galaxy, with a red line from its center, out into the larger galaxy,
and two thirds of the way across it, to the Earth-Moon system.

Narrative (Tarrant): 'A long and wearying voyage it was, with many an
adventure and misadventure until we finally came to Lost Earth and her
living Moon.'

----------------------------------------------------------------------

PANEL FOUR (lower right quarter of page)

The Earth and Moon, seen from space. Earth is pearly white, like a
scalded eye. The Moon is green and lush under the forcefield that
restrains its atmosphere.

Narrative (Tarrant): 'The Earth is dead, from a war fought 1000 years
ago. All humanity descends from those who were safe at that time, on
the Moon.'
