The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE upper 2/3

The Great Hall. High ceilings, a huge fireplace somewhere, the
arms of previous ages (assault rifles, RPGs, and you could throw in
weapons from other universes, like Class I phasers, PPGs, or even an
unlicensed experimental particle accelerator from _Ghostbusters_) hang
over it and on the walls, along with alien trophy heads and mounted
antlers.

The table is triangular, and we are presumably seeing it from
inside a pair of double doors leading into the room. Our side of the
table is unoccupied. Seated on the right side are the Islay children,
minus Bretta and Phoebe. That leaves Lia, Lorrie, Glynna, Arran, and
little Sedgeley (sitting on a stack of books) with two empty chairs
(for Arran and Loreanna), one at the slightly truncated 'head' of the
table, the corner furthest away from us, and the next to the right of
it.

Down the left, Krumm and Demondion-Echeverria, with a number of
empty chairs, plus Kombi, who prefers a stool.

Standing in the foreground, Bretta faces lovely Phoebe, who is
almost -- but not quite -- curtsying.

Bretta: 'Children, I must go to help our mother and father.'


PANEL TWO (bottom third)

Bretta takes her sister's hand and kisses her on the forehead.

Bretta: 'Phoebe, you are 15, the same as I when I first left
moonringed Skye. You already keep the accounts; take our father's
place at table. In my absence, you will manage house, Holdings, and
planet.'
