Transcript For Strip 1006

Panel 1
Barely visible, a dark, highly reflective, flattened spheroid arcs underneath Saturn's southern pole.
Voice 1 from spheroid: Both the EM shield and mass detector are working like champs.
Voice 2 from spheroid: Course correction successful, Brigid is now tracking Course Beta.

Panel 2
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: Won't our shield silhouette against Saturn, or the Sun? Someone could spot us.
Murphy: I chose this course to avoid getting in the line of sight from any known observatory in the Saturn system.

Panel 3
A tactical illustration of the girls' course arcing over the ecliptic plane, across the system from Saturn to their destination on the far side of Sol. Murphy is in a cameo.
Murphy: Also, we will spend most of our time well above the ecliptic plane rather than in it, so no one is going to see us silhouetted against Sol.
Panel 4
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: That's great. But I'm worried about this 'gravity drive' we're using. Has it been tested at all?
Murphy: The prototype worked fine. Where's your sense of adventure?
