PANEL 1: THE CAPTAIN talks to SKITTER, sitting in his hover chair. CAPTAIN: “Laying down the block”? For who? SKITTER: The Moron’s Mane. They’re not armada, so Tierra’s cannons are gunning for them. I told Genn to get behind me. PANEL 2: ORLA, at a computer console, gestures. ORLA: Skitter, what if those cannons decide to shoot THROUGH us? PANEL 3: SKITTER, alone in his chair, responds. SKITTER: They won’t. The M-waves are staying clear of— VOICE: HEY EMP’ROR? YOU STILL THERE? PANEL 4: The CAPTAIN stands in the background as ORLA squints at the computer console. CAPTAIN: Orla, what’s that voice? ORLA: Some idiot is blasting on every open frequency. VOICE: EMP’ROR? PANEL 5: From behind the CAPTAIN, pointing at SKITTER, squinting. CAPTAIN: Well turn it down!
