The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE

The topsail is now very close to the side of the ship and in this
panel acts as a kind of stage curtain. With the low taffrail before
it, the Jendyne logo looms over _Resplendent Quetzal_'s command deck.

Most of those present at the meeting are grouped low and toward
the right side of the panel almost in silhouette. In center stage, as
it were, Echeverria-Estrella suddenly dips a startled Bretta until her
wrists trail on the deck, and kisses her heroically.

Bretta: 'What -- !'

Echeverria-Estrella: 'Until later, then, I bid you all, farewell!'


PANEL TWO

Still in Echeverria-Estrella's grasp, Bretta has her head turned
away from the reader. Echeverria-Estrella, at the left side of the
panel, still holding and leaning over her, looks up and winks at
Tarrant who can just be seen at the other side of the panel.

PANEL THREE

Closeup, profile. An immensely annoyed Tarrant grinds his teeth.
As long as he has known her, and as much as he loves her, he has never
kissed her on the mouth. As far as he knows, it's her first such kiss.

No caption.

PANEL FOUR

Bretta lies on the deck, propped up on her elbows, still a little
stunned.

Echeverria-Estrella hops down the ladder to the maindeck.

Echeverria-Estrella (his back to us): 'I'll find my own way to the
airlock!'


PANEL FIVE

Gav has entered the deck-lift and its steam-powered doors are starting to close. We still see Gav with his back to us – he is looking back over his shoulder with a smile.

SFX: Whooooosh!
