This is a preview of: Phoebus Krumm


The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE

Shot from space, a few feet above the level of the taffrail, and
only a few yards away from it. Most of the principals are seen.

Tarrant: 'And what of Bretta's parents?'

Echeverria-Estrella: 'I have agents searching the Kryptagon as we
speak. When I know anything, you will know, straightaway.'

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

PANEL TWO

Closeup of Bretta, more or less in profile, facing away from
everyone, looking teary, but trying to be brave. Krumm stands behind
her.

Krumm: 'If I know Arran and Loreanna Islay, their captors will be
grateful by now to be relieved of them.'

Bretta: 'I hope you're right, Phoebus.'

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

PANEL THREE (lower lefthand quarter of page)

Tight on Bretta, looking grim. Some of her crosbow can be seen,
level with her face.

Bretta: 'If not, I swear I'll kill a world avenging them!'

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

PANEL FOUR (lower right quarter of page)

View of group from above, looking down. Show a bit of the Void on
the other side of the rail.

Echeverria-Estrella: 'On this course, you're unlikely to encounter
anyone between here and the home system but smugglers and the
occasional trader, mostly aliens.'

Echeverria-Estrella: 'Neither will be inclined to bother you,
especially if you make use of this gift I have for you ... '

PANEL FIVE

The viewpoint has 'panned' right. Echeverria-Estrella points past
the taffrail, where, perhaps two hundred yards away, two or three
spacesuited figures carry a trapezoidal sheet of material perhaps two
hundred feet wide. Most starsails are light colored. This one is not.
On a dark blue field, five five-pointed yellow stars form a pentagram,
all points downward, with a scarlet upper-case Greek delta in the
center.

Echeverria-Estrella: 'Fly this tops'l and you'll be taken for another
border ranger.'
