Panel 1: Turpentine facing the door, speaking to it.
Turpentine (1): At this point, the expedition simply cannot succeed without you. There just isn’t anyone else with the right…attributes, and it will be nineteen more years before anyone has another chance.
Translation (1): Neste ponto, a expedição não pode mais ter êxito sem a sua ajuda. Simplesmente não há mais ninguém com os… atributos necessários, e termos de esperar mais dezenove anos até que alguém possa tentar novamente.
Panel 2: Turpentine still facing the door, with his hands up in a pleading gesture.
Turpentine (2): In recognition of what we’re asking of you, the species will be named after you. Gynophagos honeywoodiae. How does that sound?
Comment (2): The Linnean “species name” Gynophagos honeywoodiae should be left in the original Latin, unless it is the custom among professional biologists using your target language to render it otherwise.
Translation (2): Em consideração a isto, estamos pedindo a você; a espécie terá o seu nome. Gynophagos honeywoodiae. Que tal esse nome?
Panel 3: Claudia still on her bunk. This is another “surveillance video” panel. In this panel Claudia’s eyes are in an angry squint The precise nature of this squint should be drawn as distinctively as possible and noted (thus as the “Angry Squint”) as it will reappear in another context below.
Claudia (3): Fuck off!
Comment (3): “Fuck off” is a vulgar and rude way in English to tell someone to go away, but one perhaps appropriate under these circumstances.

Turpentine (4): Listen, I’ve talked with the expedition sponsor via satellite phone. He understands how critical you’ve become to the success of this expedition, and he has said he’s willing to raise the charitable donation to five million dollars if you can…cooperate.
Translation (4): Ouça, falei com o patrocinador no telefone via satélite. Ele compreendeu como a situação está crítica em relação ao sucesso desta expedição, e disse que está disposto a aumentar a doação para a instituição filantrópica para cinco milhões dólares se você puder… cooperar.
Panel 4: View of Claudia sitting on her bunk in her cabin. Her arms angrily folded over her chest, her face set. This panel is “surveillance video” so it should have a somewhat vaguer, grainer look to it than most panels.
CAPTION – TURPENTINE SPEAKING THROUGH THE DOOR (5): You can do a lot of good in the world with five million dollars, Claudia.
Translation (5): Você pode fazer um bem enorme para o mundo com cinco milhões dólares, Claudia.

Panel 1: View of Claudia again, realization sinking in.
Claudia (1): No.
Translation (1): Não.
Panel 2: Claudia in the act of standing up, her face enraged.
Claudia (2): No fucking way, do you understand?
Comment (2): “Fucking” in Claudia’s dialog line here shouldn’t be translated literally. In colloquial English, used in the way Claudia is using it here, it serves purely as an intensifier (generally used by someone who is angry) to stress the point.
Translation (2): De jeito nenhum, vocês entendem?
Panel 3: Claudia in the midst of storming past Turpentine out of the room. Turpentine has reached out to grab her sleeve, and Claudia has a hand raised to swat it away.
Turpentine (3): Claudia, please.
Translation (3): Claudia, por favor.
Claudia (4): Let go of me!
Translation (4): Me solta!
Panel 4: View of Hiram, sitting back in his chair and rolling his eyes.
