The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE (upper half of page)

Cockpit view of the lunar surface, which is yellower than our
moon. While it's mostly cratered wasteland, there's an extensive
industrializd area and diminishing toward the horizon, rank on rank of
ship-cradles with the skeletonized beginnings of ships like _Sweek
Lestvoh_.

Beyond the horizon, Sibola can be seen, and the Moonbridge rises
from the surface to diminish and disappear before it touches the home
planet.

Narrative (Tarrant): '_Kestrel_ being the fastest thing in the
Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy -- otherwise known as the Cluster
-- the plan was that I'd go in first, draw some fire, and do a little
initial damage with another borrowed towhatchamacallit.'

PANEL TWO (lower half of page)

_Kestrel_ swoops down across the broadly-spread industrial city. A
torpedo he has fired explodes, destroying a huge complex. Thrusting
from his projectibles causes smaller eruptions.

Meanwhile, the ground fires back, always too slow to hit him as he
sweeps by.

Narrative (Tarrant): 'Now, at least, the other ships would know where
the moon's defenses were and could avoid or remove them.'
