Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 2
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 3
Malachi: You know what they say... any landing you can walk away from...
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 4
Saja: I don't know how we're even alive right now.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 5
Virulyde: Man, I don't know how you managed to lawn dart the ShockShadow and none of us even have a scratch.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 6
Ravenna: That was interesting.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 7
Ravenna: Let's do it again!
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 8
Saja: Let's not.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 9
Saja: Pardon me for a moment. I need to contact HQ.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 10
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 11
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 12
Saja: Karla, this is Saja Kabora checking in.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 13
Karla: Saja! We saw that your shuttle was caught in the blast from the Zetsfir cannon's destruction!
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 14
Karla: We had feared the worst.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 15
Saja: Aren't you monitoring our vitals?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 16
Karla: Well, the network connection was temporarily severed. Zetsfir was using jamming technology again.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 17
Saja: What's the situation on the Pandora orbital station?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 18
Karla: All Zetsfir forces have been eliminated and the all-clear was given. Thanks to your efforts, of course.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 19
Saja: We played only a small part. Give my thanks to the security team.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 20
Karla: Will do.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 21
Karla: Oh! Dr. Maxwell would like to speak to you for a moment. May I bring him in?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 22
Saja: Yes, of course.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 23
Dr. Maxwell: I'm glad to see you are okay, Commander.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 24
Saja: Thank you. What's up, Dr. Maxwell?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 25
Dr. Maxwell: I've discovered some very interesting data on that ancient optical disc that the android brought us.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 26
Saja: I see. What did you find?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 27
Dr. Maxwell: Most of the data on the disc was corrupted beyond recovery but the location of the ancient planet was clearly designated.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 28
Dr. Maxwell: In the commotion, of course, we were evacuated before I could confirm anything but it would appear this ancient planet...
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 29
Saja: ...yes?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 30
Dr. Maxwell: It's just not there. I don't know why the data would be inaccurate or fabricated. There's a nebula where the star "Sol" should be on the charts.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 31
Saja: I... can't comment on that right now.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 32
Dr. Maxwell: Yes, of course. She's with you right now. There's no need to upset her, especially before confirming these findings.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 33
Saja: Anything else?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 34
Dr. Maxwell: Now that things have settled down, I'm going to use the space telescope to re-examine that area of the galaxy. Oh, I did find various other items...
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 35
Dr. Maxwell: Frankly, some historical and cultural entries about Earth were... disappointing.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 36
Karla: How is that, Doctor?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 37
Dr. Maxwell: Earth was a similar world to our own in that many wars and conflicts marked the ages.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 38
Dr. Maxwell: Sadly, most of civilization became decadent, proud, and apathetic. There was a lot of social unrest and a lack of unity.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 39
Saja: That doesn't sound too dissimilar to our own world, Doctor.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 40
Dr. Maxwell: Perhaps you are right. Anyway, I won't keep you. Please contact me once you return to the Pandora orbital station.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 41
Saja: Take care, Doctor.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 42
Karla: Saja, nice work on taking out that mobile cannon. Reconstruction has started on the Pandora station.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 43
Karla: You are expected in Fumacine city tomorrow to receive your next assignment.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 44
Saja: In person? Must be important.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 45
Saja: Okay. We will report to Fumacine city tomorrow.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 46
Karla: Take care, Saja!
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 47
Saja: Talk to you later.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 48
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 49
Saja: We are to report to Fumacine city tomorrow. I'll arrange for a transport ship to pick us up.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 50
Virulyde: We'd better head into town and get some rest.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 51
Saja: Go on ahead and book us a room. I'll catch up with you.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 52
Virulyde: Sure. Time to get some OJ at the bar!
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 53
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 54
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 55
Saja: Hmm.... let's see...
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 56
Ravenna: What's that, Saja?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 57
Saja: It's a map. I'm checking our location. We landed on the shoreline of the Eastern island of the Graves archipelago.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 58
Saja: Come over here and have a look.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 59
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 60
Saja: We are here.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 61
Ravenna: It looks like this planet is smaller than Earth. Maybe that's why I feel so much lighter!
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 62
Saja: That would make sense, if "Earth" was a larger or denser planet.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 63
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 64
Saja: Right here is where Malachi and Virulyde found you.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 65
Ravenna: Oh! I see. The Morgan's Gate ruins.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 66
Saja: The ark ruins? That ship was called "Morgan's Gate"?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 67
Ravenna: Yeah. It was named after a scientist that worked on it.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 68
Saja: Interesting. Dr. Maxwell said there was a lot to learn about your world...
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 69
Ravenna: Oh yeah? Like what? Our movies? Music? Sports?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 70
Saja: Umm... oh, uh... nevermind that... look at this...
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 71
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 72
Saja: This is Fumacine City, the heart of the Fumacine Empire.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 73
Ravenna: Your home? You three are the "Fumacite Elite Trio", right?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 74
Saja: Well, yes, we grew up and went to Fumacine Academy, but I'm originally from Kadmas.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 75
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 76
Saja: From this region.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 77
Ravenna: How about Virulyde?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 78
Saja: Virulyde was constructed in the laboratories of Aufdek, here.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 79
Ravenna: And Malachi?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 80
Saja: ...well... Malachi's from Fumacine City... sort of.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 81
Ravenna: Hmmmm....?
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 82
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 83
Saja: It's.... complicated...
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 84
Saja: Let's go into town and meet up with those two at the hotel.
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 85
Ravenna: Virulyde's probably drowning his sorrows in orange juice already!
Chapter 2 Scene 13 Frame 86
Saja: Ha ha! Yes, indeed.
