The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Reggie and Babbette seated side-by side in a windowless, cylindrical train car. We can see rows of high-backed double-seats behind them, also with passengers. They are being pushed back uncomfortably in their seats by strong acceleration.
Caption: The tube train to the South Pole was uneventful. They endured several seconds of uncomfortable acceleration at the beginning ...
Panel 2
A sort of schematic drawing of the tube train route, not to scale. We see a cut-away hemisphere of Mercury – the North Pole on the left and the South Pole on the right, and a tunnel a few hundred meters (in scale) under the surface, following the curve of the planet, thorough which the train zooms. The train is now nearing the South Pole station.
Caption: … and near the end, their seats were reversed and they endured several more seconds of high acceleration. And then they were there.
Caption: (Note: not to scale)
Panel 3
Wide panel, showing the panorama of the Chao Meng-Fu crater with its lake. We can't see the far end of the lake or the crater wall, or the crater's central islands. Just lake, with some of the crater walls on the sides disappearing into the distance. Above, Terra-like sky with fluffy blue clouds. A few boats on the lake, a few flying machines in the sky (both lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air). In the center, we see Babbette and Reggie from behind, taking it all in.
Caption: When they emerged from the station, Chao Meng-Fu crater and lake presented themselves in full glory.
Babbette: This place makes me homesick for Terra. It's beautiful.
