Transcript For Strip 2489
Panel 1We see the Oresme-Situ family in the control cabin of their spacecraft, as it makes its final approach to Novo Palermo. Nicole Oresme, her husband Situ Li-Liang, and their children, Brielle and Warren
Alyss/Nicole narrates: We brought our two youngest kids, Warren and Brielle, then ages 12 and 8, respectively, in Old Terra years.
Panel 2
Reverse view, the spacecraft is entering the upper atmosphere of the planet, very slightly curved horizon, clouds covering a hazy ground can be seen through the wide viewscreen.
Alyss/Nicole narrates:The children were impatient, never knowing a world wherein one cannot just ‘Pop’ into someplace you want to go.
Alyss/Nicole narrates: Personally, I enjoyed getting an overview of our new home.
Panel 3
Exterior view, the craft circles over a grassy plane bounded by a creek on one side and mountains on the other.
Alyss/Nicole narrates: Your Abuelo and I had marked out and purchased this 500 hectare section of land that our investigations showed should be suitable for both farming and some ranching.
Panel 4
The craft lands on a pad amid a grassy field. We can now see the scale of their craft – twice the size of a camper. Nearby is a building roughly the size of a cargo container
Li (from craft): Well, here we are, kids. Our new home.
Warren (from craft): What, that box over there?
Brielle (from craft): I don’t want to live in that box.
Panel 5
Li steps toward the cabin exit behind them, as the children turn to watch him. Nicole busies herself with some notations on a pad.
Li: Brielle, you won’t have to live in that box.
Li: Warren, I need you to come with me.
Panel 6
Li and Warren walk towards the cargo container
Li: That box – a cargo container – and our ship contain everything we need to get started here.
Warren: Um … are you sure? I don’t think you can fit a whole farm in there.
