PANEL 1: A large space panel, with earth in the background, showing Spain and Europe as the sun reflect of the oceans. A large ship hovers in front of the planet, at a dramatic angle towards the viewer. NARRATION BOX: La Invencible Disembodied voice bubbles pointing to inside the ship: VOICE 1: Oh! My Emperor! I…I didn’t expect you onboard, today. Welcome, welcome! VOICE 2 (The Emperor): Admiral. PANEL 2: Inside the ship, the ADMIRAL welcomes the EMPEROR onboard. ADMIRAL: Normally your guards call ahead to alert us of your arrival. I’ll have your stateroom prepared immediately! EMPOROR: No need to fuss. This won’t be a pleasure cruise. PANEL 3: The ADMIRAL bows towards the EMPEROR, a much shorter man. ADMIRAL: Oh. Of course, Excellency. But… HOW can we be of service to you today? EMPEROR: We’ll be TRAVELLING, Admiral. It’s a troop inspection, of sorts. PANEL 4: An exterior shot of the ship at a less dramatic angle, still floating above the planet. ADMIRAL (off panel): And what of your personal honor hard? Or Jinyiwei? Will they not be joining us on the trip? EMPEROR (off panel): Admiral, I’m on the most powerful ship the armada ever built. PANEL 5: In silhouette, the EMPEROR climbs stairs to a throne-like chair. EMPEROR: And I’m surrounded by four score GENTLEMEN OF TESSKIL. Say Hello, gentlemen. PANEL 6: The EMPEROR sits on the throne, surrounded by 5 TESSKANS, large rhino-like creatures with sharp blade-like horns on their head, and tusks protruding from their mouths. EMPEROR: I THINK THAT I’M QUITE SAFE. Front, right TESSKAN, looking over his shoulder: hullo person. —— Want to read the full story?
