Transcript For Strip 2022

Panel 1
As Bok, now a fully matured young man, is narrating a docu. Behind him is an external view of Bubbleopolis

Titles: Bolivar Clark Presents: Ask Me Anything
Bok: This unique city in space has various names: Galactica, Novo Paolo, Kūchū Rōkaku, France, Oz …
Bok: But the most popular moniker is 'Bubbleopolis,' for somewhat obvious reasons.

Panel 2
Tight focus on one of the translucent spheres, showing the structures within made tiny by scale. Bok narrates from a cameo.

Bok: The 157 Spheres of the city are not made of glass, or transparent aluminum, despite appearances. Borvonite, first developed by the legendary Hari Copperton to protect settlements on airless planetoids, has been continually improved over the past five centuries.

Panel 3
Schematic drawing of a Sphere absorbing solar energy from the Five Suns Again Bok narrates from a cameo.
Bok: Each Sphere absorbs 87 percent of radiation from the Five Suns orbiting their barycenter, as well as cosmic rays …
Bok: The absorbed energy is transformed into electrical energy which gets used to power the buildings and regulate the air contained within each sphere.
Caption: Not to scale

Panel 4
Back to Bok as in Panel 1, with a wry grin. Behind him is an asteroid smashing itself to bits, impacting a sphere.
Bok: The Borvonite spheres of course also protect against asteroid impacts.
Bok: The Borvonite is rated strong enough to withstand a kinetic impact of almost 75 Septillion Joules. That's more than the legendary Chicxulub meteor impact on Old Earth which killed the dinosaurs.
