Transcript For Strip 697
Panel 1Seamus is reclining in his bed, wearing his slacks and shirt, viewing something on his personal Screen.
From the screen: Dearest Seamus – things have been routine here but news of the Vesta Vista scandal did stir things up quite a bit.
Screen: Vivian Wells is an in-situ engineer on loan from VV and I'm afraid she caught a lot of flack from some of the staff.
Panel 2
We see what Seamus sees on his screen – in a window, Dr. Johanna Diamondi speaking, in a pre-recorded message. (Text on screen reads SENT: 16.10.566)
Johanna: I managed to calm things down by pointing out that Wells was just one of hundreds of VV employees who had nothing to do with the plot to smash Ceres.
Johanna: It helped that people here know that I'm engaged to you.
Panel 3
Seamus, looking bemused as the message continues.
Johanna (from Screen): Word of your involvement in foiling the plot has made you something of a celebrity here.
Johanna: Everyone is looking forward to meeting you when you arrive in December.
Panel 4
Cut to Murphy standing outside the door into Seamus' room, looking pensive.
Johanna (OP): Of course I'm looking forward to that too. Also, to when you're close enough that light-lag doesn't prevent us from chatting in real time.
Johanna: Love you, darling. Please respond soon.
