Strip 78

Panel 1
Wide panel. Two space-suited figures, under power of the rocket-packs they’re wearing, glide over the surface of one of Ghetty’s large iron boulders, tracing the line of Corridor 12 below them. Following behind them are four of the forkbots seen in the Carbon Pit, their carrying arms empty. One figure, Jay, is carrying a large bag of tools. The other, Bert, is carrying two coils of safety line, each about 50 meters long, one over each shoulder.

Bert: So what’s the deal with the forkbots?

Panel 2
Medium close two-shot of Jay and Bert, in their suits.

Jay: Once we cut the Section completely free of the Corridor, we secure those safety lines you’re carrying, and the forkbots will tug the Section into the large airlock at Iron Works, where you were earlier.

Panel 3
We see part of the stricken Section 12-327 in the foreground, as Jay and Bert approach from the background left.

Bert: What if our efforts break the Section open?

Jay: They’ll die sooner rather than later. You have a better idea?
