PANEL 1: The EMPEROR’s head peaks out from the bottom of the panel, because two huge TESSKANS tower above him.
LOCATION: LA INVENCIBLE
EMPEROR: ADMIRAL! How is this possible? Where was our drive early warning system?!?

PANEL 2: The ADMIRAL leans over the shoulder of PILOT wearing a helmet that covers his eyes.
ADMIRAL: It’s down! Oh god…that whole system is down!
PILOT: The orbital phalanx as well!

PANEL 3: The ADMIRAL holds a see-through tablet up, the glow of an alert reflecting on his face.
ADMIRAL: It’s just repeating some…NYXIAN ERROR MESSAGE.

PANEL 4: The EMPEROR holds his hands up aghast, while the ADMIRAL responds.
EMPEROR: And the fleets? Where are my fleets?
ADMIRAL: At your orders, sire. They’re conducting war grames all week… in orbit over New Zealand.

PANEL 5: The EMPEROR holds his hands up to his head, eyes bulging in horror. The ADMIRAL is also concerned, holding the tablet.
EMPEROR: What?!? RIGHT NOW?!? Tell them to leap! Tell them to leap immediately!
ADMIRAL: My lord, they can’t pinch space near tierra. They’ll have to come via nacelle.

PANEL 6: The EMPEROR looks up at his two TESSKANS.
EMPEROR: GAHHH! Then we have two critical duties: WE NEED TO GET COMMAND AND CONTROL TO SAFETY. I want you two tesskans on me. You go where I go.

PANEL 7: The EMPEROR turns to address a crowd of huge TESSKANS, looing down at him.
EMPEROR: And the rest of you! Go prep my shuttle for immediate departure.

PANEL 8: Extreme close up on the EMPEROR as he gets very intense.
EMPEROR: And Admiral, you turn La Invencible toward that ship, and BEGIN FIRING EVERY M-WAVE YOU HAVE. This ship is the only thing that can stop that city-killer.
