The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE (upper lefthand quarter of page)

Two-shot, Bretta and Krumm over the boy's head.

Bretta: 'Then perhaps they can tell us exactly where _Sweek Lestvoh_
is.'

Krumm: 'My own thought exactly. Mr. Valentine, kindly invite them
aboard!'

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

PANEL TWO (upper righthand quarter of page)

As Krumm and Bretta watch, Valentine, his back to the reader,
signals into the void. You might draw a laser beam -- broken up as if
in Morse code -- from the front of his bazooka-like device out toward
the _Nacyl_ ships.

Let the back end of the device smoke a little.

Valentine (to himself): ' ... convey greetings and welcome ... '

PANEL THREE (lower half of page)

The hull of _Resplendent Quetzal_, looking downward a little. This
is our first chance to show _Kestrel_ back in her place, like a large,
colorful moth on a treetrunk.

The Nacyl vessel is a little smaller, wingtip to wingtip, than
Tarrant's, but broader, 'nose' to concave 'tail', and fuller -- higher
arched on top and fuller bellied -- like a manta ray. One of the Nacyl vessels approachest the R.Q., merging its section-field with the sailship. The other Nacyl ship stands off just outside the field.

We can see this because we're slightly above and to the left of
the Nacyl ship.

Krumm (from above, outside of panel): 'Mr. Valentine tells me they've
been waiting for weeks to get clearance to land and trade on your
homeworld, Frantisek.'
