PANEL 1: THE MACHITO descends through clouds, snow lightly falling. CAPTAIN (from inside the ship): You sure you don’t want to come to dinner, Nosh? It’s only a 400-meter walk through the snow. NOSH (from inside the ship): In Moscow, I learn to stay inside, except for three glorious days of summer. …I will stay here with Vehari pals. PANEL 2: NOSH, a large humanoid reptilian alien with huge eyes, hits a button with a “BAP!”, next to it is a sign reading “WARNING: Gangway hatch release”. THE CAPTAIN stands next to him, an older woman with glasses, wears a winter jacket with a fur-lined hood. NOSH: You crazy kids have fun. Say I to captain lady for us. CAPTAIN: We’ll bring you back a Grasskan dessert. PANEL 3: NOSH calls down as snow swirls in front of him. CUDDOW, an alien with 6 eyes, also wearing a winter coat with a fur lined hood, stands next to NOSH. NOSH: CAPTAIN! That is my love language! CUDDOW: Mine is “High Production Value Musicals,” so I get it. PANEL 4: CAPH, a Grasskan (a very large dinosaur-like alien, with a ring in his nose), wears a similar winter coat with fur-lined hood. CAPH: CAN I STAY TOO, CAPTAIN? I’m nervous to meet her. What if she blames me for what happened to my ship? Or for running away? PANEL 5: The CAPTAIN walks down the gangway into a bright white snowy environment. CAPTAIN: Cash, you were drafted into an impossible situation. You fought to stay alive when your leadership went suicidal. You’re a pure heart doing your best in an impure world. So let me do the talking, and don’t you worry. PANEL 6: THE MACHITO sits in deep snow, against a white landscape with mountains in the background. A deep trench extends from the gangway. NANDO, The CAPTAIN, and CUDDOW dig a trench through snow. CAPH follows behind her. No text. PANEL 7: Same panel as previous, CAPH is further down the walkway, the CAPTAIN is off panel. CAPH: You’re a good person! NOSH, peaking out from the ship: ONLY IF SHE BRING DESSERT! ——— Want to read the full story?
