The Transcript For This Page

PANEL ONE (upper lefthand quarter of page)

_Kestrel_ dives on another launch. This vessel has all of its
hatches opened. Men in spacesuits are standing in them, firing on
Tarrant's little ship with personal thrustibles. Their weapons-fire
sets off little patches of color in _Kestrel_'s #-field.

Narrative: 'The next nut proved a trifle tougher to crack.'

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

PANEL TWO (upper righthand quarter of page)

Eventually, the steam launch blows up, spectacularly.

Tarrant (unseen, from inside the _Kestrel_: 'About damn time! Now on
to the next vic -- '

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

PANEL THREE (lower lefthand quarter of page)

Closeup on Tarrant, head against the headrest, eyes starkly open,
mouth a huge O, hair disheveled. Everything in the little ship is
vibrating heavily.

Tarrant: 'What the hell?'

SFX (very large): 'WHUNK!'

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

PANEL FOUR (lower right quarter of page)

Tarrant (inside _Kestrel_): 'Oh, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!'
