PAGE 59 (Four panels)

Panel 1: Daphne standing in a different cabin. She’s wearing a comparatively modest black one-piece swimsuit. She is wearing a pair of swimmer’s goggles, now dangling around her neck. She’s holding one of the capsules between her thumb and forefinger and examining it with a skeptical expression. Hiram stands to one side, his face wearing a bit of a smirk.

Daphne (1): So, this has been recalibrated, has it?

Translation (1): Так что, эта штука рекалибрована?

Hiram (2): Yes. To much higher sensitivity settings.

Translation (2): Да, теперь чувствительность намного выше.

Panel 2: Daphne in the act of downing the capsule with a glass of water.

Daphne (3): Well, here’s hoping you got it right this time, Hiram.

Translation (3): Надеюсь, на этот раз вы не ошиблись, Хайрам.

Panel 3: Daphne walking down a narrow ship’s corridor with Claudia.

Claudia (4): The drones will follow you and not be far away.

Translation (4): Роботы будут следовать за вами и будут рядом.

Daphne (5): I’m glad of that.

Translation (5): Я рада этому.

Panel 4: Claudia and Daphne walking on deck, past a number of men who look a little grimmer than they did before.

PAGE 58 (Four panels)

Panel 1: Daphne, leaning back a bit.

Daphne (1): So what gives? Is it that they were men and I’m a woman who should be staying home in the kitchen and popping out babies?

Translation (1): О чем же вы говорите? Что они – мужчины, а я женщина, которая должна торчать на кухне и нянчить детей?

Daphne (2): If that’s what you think, go fuck yourself, you sexist piece of shit.

Translation (2): Если вы так думаете, убейтесь о стену, чертов сексист.

Panel 2: Daphne, with a finger raised.

Unseen interviewer (out-of-panel balloon) (3): Perhaps there’s a difference between a chance of death and what looks like a certainty of…

Translation (3): Пожалуй, есть некая разница между возможностью умереть и тем, что выглядит как стопроцентная неизбежность …

Daphne (4): Yes, well I have an answer to that as well.

Translation (4): Ну что ж, и на это у меня есть ответ.

Panel 3: An abstract representation showing Daphne, wearing a classical toga, holding a line in space which is labeled at its endpoints “0” and “1.”

CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (5): “Certainty” isn’t metaphysically special. It’s just the endpoint of a continuum of probabilities.

Translation (5): «Неизбежность» – не метафизическое понятие. Это всего лишь конечная точка в континууме вероятностей.

CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (6): So where does “insanity” begin? At p = 0.5? 0.7? 0.999? Can you defend any principled answer to that question?

Translation (6): Так где же начинается «безумие»? В p = 0.5? 0.7? 0.999? Можете ли вы дать аргументированный ответ?

Panel 4: Close-in on Daphne’s determined-looking face.

Daphne (7): If not, then shut up and let me get on with what I need to do.

Translation (7): Если нет, заткнитесь и дайте мне сделать то, что я должна сделать.

PAGE 57 (Four panels)

Panel 1: Daphne, sitting in a cabin on the RV Seagoon (porthole visible behind her), being interviewed.

Unseen interviewer (out-of-panel balloon) (1): You have to know that there’s been a lot of mail, and a lot of chatter on social media, to the effect that you’re crazy, that you’re unstable, that you’re suicidal, that someone should stop you, and so on.

Translation (1): Вы должны знать, что множество людей говорят в письмах и соцсетях о том, что вы безумны, психически неустойчивы, суицидальны, что должен быть кто-то, кто остановит вас, и так далее.

Daphne (2): Yes, I know about all that. And I have something to say.

Translation (2): Да, я знаю все это. И я должна кое-что сказать.

Panel 2: Adapted photograph of the Scott Antarctic party. A version can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_Nova_Expedition#/media/File:Scottgroup.jpg (Accessed March 5, 2017)

CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (3): For centuries, men have set out on expeditions to advance human knowledge.

Translation (3): Столетиями мужчины отправлялись в экспедиции, чтобы способствовать прогрессу человеческого знания.

CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (4): Some of these expeditions were extraordinarily dangerous. They had to know in some cases that the odds that they would survive were quite poor.

Translation (4): Некоторые из этих экспедиций были чрезвычайно опасными. Они знали, что в некоторых случаях шансы на то, что они останутся в живых, были очень невелики.

Panel 3: Adapted photograph of the crew of Apollo 1. A version can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1#/media/File:Apollo1_Crew_im_Simulator.jpg (Accessed March 5, 2017).

CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (5): Even in more modern times, men have undertaken exploratory ventures that they knew posed a lethal risk.

Translation (5): Даже в более близкие к нам времена мужчины порой участвовали в исследовательских миссиях, несших смертельный риск.

Panel 4: Daphne leaning forward, intently.

Daphne (6): And do you know what? No one wrote about how these men were crazy unstable bitches who needed to be stopped for their own good.

Translation (6): И знаете что? Никто не писал об этих людях, что они безумцы, которых нужно остановить для их собственного блага.

Daphne (7): Instead, they were celebrated as heroes.

Translation (7): Вместо этого их встречали как героев.

Panel 4: Daphne again, with a slightly calmer expression.
