The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE

Sherrinford extrudes a limb from the top of its head to point at a
dot circling the Jendyne sun. Sigurdson points to another place, some
distance away.

Sherrinford: 'Here is _Sweek Lestvoh_.'

Sigurdson: 'Our computer says she will be _here_ by the time
_Resplendent Quetzal_ can get there.'

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

PANEL TWO

Sigurdson and Sherrinford with the screen behind them, Bretta and
Tarrant just visible.

Tarrant: 'And where would she be if _you_ went to meet her?'

Sherrinford: 'About where she is now. Our ships are swift.'

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

PANEL THREE

Two-shot, Bretta and Sigurdson.

Bretta: 'Mine won't travel that fast. I've never understood why
you won't tell us the secrets of your stardrive.'

Sigurdson: 'Your father agreed that learning for yourselves is better
-- as he put it -- than looking up the answers in the back of the
book.'

Bretta: 'I'll have to have a word with him about that.'



PANEL FOUR
The screen shows _Kestrel_, attached to the side of _Resplendent
Quetzal_. To one side of the screen, we see Sigurdson.

Sigurdson: 'Tarrant's _Kestrel_ is a worthy start. Meanwhile, be
comforted: although our ships work perfectly, your ships work
acceptably, after a fashion -- and they are _beautiful_.'

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

PANEL FIVE

Tight two-shot of the flatsies, looking kind of goofy.

Sherrinford: 'We greatly enjoy thinking about them.'

Sigurdson: 'They are a kind of music.'

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

PANEL SIX

Sherrinford and Sigurdson to one side, Bretta and Tarrant to
the other. The screen shows a full shot of _Sweek Lestvoh_.
The wall around the screen is covered with instruments and pilot
lights.

Bretta: 'Yet you would help us destroy the greatest music ever made?'

Sigurdson: 'Sometimes the most beautiful music is very sad.'
