The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE (upper lefthand quarter of page)

As the fleet approaches, dozens of small rocket-powered craft rise
from the surface. In this panel, many of them make a mob-attack on
_Resplendent Quetzal_.

Krumm (from _Resplendent Quetzal_: 'Swivel gunners and carronades,
look lively! Crew with thrustibles aloft!'

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

PANEL TWO (upper righthand quarter of page)

From a spar at the mid-tier. Crewbeings are using their small arms
to thrust at the aerocraft buzzing by. There are small blooms on the
#-field everywhere.

Voice: 'They're like bite-flies!'

Voice: 'Here they come again!'

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

PANEL THREE (lower lefthand quarter of page)

At the stern of _Laploma D'Wherra_, rocket planes fight it out
with steam launches, exchanging thruster fire. One of the rocket
planes explodes.

Voice (from steam launch): 'Got him!'

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

PANEL FOUR (lower right quarter of page)

The maindeck of _Sweek Lestvoh_, where a rocket plane has buried
its nose at a 45 degree angle. As some of Arron's men help the stunned
pilot out of his little ship, another shouts up to Arran on the
command deck.

Crewman: 'He's drugged, sir, and chained in his seat!'

Narrative (Tarrant): 'I'd heard of it in the Earth/Moon system. It was
called, 'Divine Wind' -- a sign of desperation.'
