PAGE 38 (Four panels)
Panel 1: HIRAM WORTHINGLOCK (“Hiram”), a rat-faced little man who wears thick round spectacles and a labcoat, sitting on a stool in another laboratory. He is being interviewed.
SUBTITLE (1): Hiram Worthinglock, assistant to Professor Turpentine.
Translation (1): Хайрам Вортинглок, ассистент профессора Терпентайна.
Hiram (2): Of course, we have our bait, but you can’t just stick a hook through this bait, heh heh.
Translation (2): Конечно, теперь у нас есть наживка, но через нее крючок не проденешь, хе-хе.
Hiram (3): So we have a more elegant solution.
Translation (3): У нас есть более элегантное решение.
Panel 2: Close-up of Hiram’s hand, in which he is holding up something that looks like a Tylenol capsule at the end of a pair of tweezers.
CAPTION – HIRAM NARRATING (4): This capsule contains nano-sensors and a tiny but very powerful explosive charge wrapped in ultra-strong membranes.
Translation (4): Эта капсула содержит нано-сенсоры и крохотный, но очень мощный взрывной заряд, покрытый сверхпрочными мембранами.
Panel 3: Hiram standing over an open cylindrical metal tank about one meter across and one meter high. He has just dropped the capsule in the tank, as can be seen by a small drop of fluid rebounding back up and some ripples around it.
SFX – CAPSULE DROPPED INTO THE WATER (5): ploop!
Translation (5): плюх!
Hiram (6): The capsule’s sensors are programmed to be sensitive to chemical changes in the capsule’s environment, as we can see by dropping it in this tank…
Translation (6): Сенсоры капсулы чувствительны к химическим изменениям в окружающей капсулу среде, как мы можем увидеть, бросив ее в этот резервуар…
Panel 4: Hiram pouring a flask of some sort of liquid into the tank.
Hiram (7): …and then inducing a chemical change.
Translation (7): …а затем вызвав химические изменения.
Hiram (8): You might want to back up a bit.
Translation (8): Может, вам лучше чуть-чуть отойти.
