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): Спонсор забронировал им места в первом классе.

Panel 3: Claudia in coach class, crammed into the middle seat of three between Hiram and another passenger. Hiram looks like he’s trying to get Claudia’s attention, perhaps even hitting on her. The other passenger, a FAT MAN, has gone to sleep. Claudia stares forward with Stoic resignation.

PAGE 36 (Four panels)

Panel 1: Claudia, in coveralls and wearing goggles, sitting at a high-tech workbench making adjustments to a tiny (about the size of a toaster) submersible drone.

CAPTION – PSEUDO-NARRATION (1): Ethical objections aside, preparations for an expedition are laid in.

Translation (1): Независимо от споров об этике, приготовления к экспедиции продолжались.

Panel 2: Claudia now being interviewed in the lab. She has pushed her goggles up on her forehead, and her face has some sooty smudges on it.

SUBTITLE (2): Claudia Honeywood, Ph.D., Project Robotics Engineer.

Translation (2): Клаудия Ханивуд, Ph.D., инженер по робототехнике.

Claudia (3): The creature will probably be able to block communications with our expedition ship, but we think a tightly focused beam from our subjects to a submersible might be possible. We can capture and retrieve data from it later.

Translation (3): Животному, вероятно, удастся заблокировать связь с нашим экспедиционным судном, однако сильно сфокусированный луч сможет связать наших девушек с подводным модулем. Позднее мы извлечем из него данные.

Panel 3: A somewhat cleaned-up Claudia showing the submersible to Daphne and Eliza. Daphne seems interested, Eliza almost enchanted.

Claudia (4): Okay, ladies. So, one of you at least is going to be talking to this.

Translation (4): Ну что ж, девочки, по крайней мере одной из вас придется говорить с ним.

Eliza (5): Ooh, it’s so cute!

Translation (5): Ах! Какой симпатичный!

Panel 4: Claudia fitting something behind Eliza’s ear.

Claudia (6): This sensor will transmit biometrics. It will also scan your brain’s speech center and allow you to provide some narration of your experiences.

Translation (6): Этот сенсор будет транслировать биометрику. Он также сканирует речевой центр вашего мозга и позволит вам рассказать о вашем самочувствии.

Eliza (7): I really want to try that…

Translation (7): Скорее бы попробовать…

Claudia (8): You will. We need testing.

Translation (8): Конечно. Мы проведем тест.
