PANEL 1: A cloud-covered planet hovers in front of a starry space. LOCATION: VINNSHASHA SOUND EFFECT: TSSSH FILIA (off panel): Always strange, stepping out on a new world. The ASSAULT of odd scents. PANEL 2: FILIA, the short maker carrying a staff, look from the doorway of his ship on to a dry and cratered landscape. FILIA: SO. This desolation… is the home of the Vinn? PANEL 3: FILIA turns back to look inside his ship. FILIA: Walking the inward earth, it’s easy to surmise what happened: THEIR ENEMIES CAME FOR THEM WITH ATOMIC FIRE. The planet shows all the signs. PANEL 4: FILIA’s ship sits on the ground, a cloudy sky above him, his small frame in white silhouette next to the ship. FILIA: “Look, look, look to Vinnshasha,” Ahmis said. Well, here I am Ahmis. LOOKING. PANEL 5: Extreme close up on FILIA’s face. FILIA, quitely: looking like a fool, no doubt. PANEL 6: FILIA turns to walk back in to his ship, placing his staff against the ship. FILIA: I fear Mard might be right: PANEL 7: FILIA returns with a box full of instruments, the staff still leaning against the ship. FILIA: I wills ampel my samples, and test my tests… PANEL 8: FILIA exits the frame, still talking to himself. The staff leaning against the ship begins to glow. FILIA: And I will find no signs. —— Want to read the full story? Join us at Patreon.com/drive for the *FULL* Tales of the Drive archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!
