Transcript For Strip 1631
Panel 1Krasp, Hugo, Shlack and Murphy, looking very nonchalant.
Hugo: You're back! What did you bring me?
Murphy: I thought that in addition to the pento-matrix slicer, you could use a hermeneutical quantizer and ...
Hugo: … the Varajiana Transducer! I'm glad you thought of it.
Panel 2
Hugo takes the cart and starts pushing it away. Murphy goes with him.
Hugo: With these in my lab I'll be able to fabricate the remaining components in almost no time.
Shlack: How much time is 'no time?'
Hugo: I'll have your new drive up and running in 20 kiloseconds, tops.
Panel 3
Cut to the Dryhaven bridge. Hugo and Murphy flank Shlack as he stands at his station.
Caption: Roughly 40 kiloseconds later:
Shlack: So, gentlemen, we are finally ready to test this Transwarp conduit drive.
Shlack: Assuming there's a conduit access location where Dr. Galvéz indicated.
Panel 4
Exterior view of the Dryhaven with Causa Sui transwarping through the conduit.
Shlack: Is this what the transwarp effect is supposed to look like?
Hugo: Ah, yes, it very much is.
Hugo: You will probably want to take the next exit point and get our bearings.
Panel 5
The navigator reports.
Navigator: We are … more than 25 light-years from our original point. Nearer the Soraxian border, closer to the Core.
Hugo: In 70 seconds. An effective velocity of 11.2 million times light-speed.
Shlack: Unbelievable!
Panel 6
Exterior view. The Dryhaven is confronted by a much larger, ugly, dodecahedron ship.
Navigator (from Dryhaven): Captain!
Shlack: Oh, shit!
