The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE

The shuttle streaks downward, clearly seen in what would be the
lower left corner, enveloped in ionized fire. A lot of the fire trails
upward into what would be the upper right panel. Stars above, and
atmosphere below.

Bretta (inside the shuttle): 'We shall do as Mother would. A splendid
dinner -- I've signalled ahead -- an item of business, then a good
night's sleep. In the morning, after a proper breakfast, _Sail ho!_
for the Jendyne Empery-Cirot''

Demondion-Echeverria (inside the shuttle): 'And near-certain death!
I'll never see the Immortal School again!'

Tarrant (inside the shuttle): 'Stow the gloomy talk, Frantisek, if
y'please.'




PANEL TWO

From the back of the small aircraft-like passenger compartment
past everybody's silhouetted heads, toward the window, filled entirely
with fire.

Tarrant: 'I'll be after havin' me dinner w'the servants, Miss, so as
t'maintain the ruse.'

PANEL THREE

Bretta turns to speak to Tarrant.

Bretta: 'As you think best, Hanebuth. I, for one, shall miss you at
table in the Great Hall.'

PANEL FOUR bottom row

Closeup on windshield, through which landscape far below can be
seen. Mountains, everblues, a big meadow, and a tumble of tiny white
blocks at one edge of the meadow.

Bretta's arm and finger can be seen in silhouette, pointing at
the tiny white blocks.

Bretta: 'There it is!'
