Chapter 9: Artists

*'''General

This is the only chapter with the entire thing told from another person’s (person?) point of view.


*'''Page 1

The window has two levels and this is the view from the upper window. Since she has to look up at the sun, she must have slept in. The lodgings are at a city recreation facility on a mountain near the big cherry tree.


*'''Page 2

The background is a box lunch, but I actually researched American box lunches for this and they were quite dynamic. All their delivery boxed lunches were something like two whole sandwiches, an entire fist-sized potato, an entire tomato, and muscat grapes. The whole tomato is probably because it wouldn’t be as fresh if it was cut.

Compared to that, this lunch is quite modest.


*'''Page 3

They are eating breakfast in the park next to the recreation facility. Follett is the only one still eating because she overslept. Come to think of it, this is a rare shot because it shows the French and German representatives together.


*'''Page 4

You can probably tell by comparing the background to the chain-link fence on page 3, but this is the other side of the park. A talk with those two is probably about Japan, but I wonder what they’re specifically discussing.


*'''Page 5

You can probably tell from the light fixture, but they are in a prefab building. As a side note, I sometimes have discussions like this in my planning meetings.


*'''Page 6

Benny being modified. It’s basically the harp with a shell added on. That keeps the sound from escaping and adding sound reflection boards and other reinforcements increases the precision of the sound. The conversion into another kind of power is done by the external machinery. When she uses it, Benny is surrounded by a canopy that acts like a miniature studio. There is a large cannon on the top, but you can only see the back end of it here… The various maintenance hatches are currently sitting open, but they will all be closed in the end. The edges of the hatches are black because they’re covered by a material that keeps sound from escaping.


*'''Pages 7-8

A scene in the break tent. There is a cooler full of drinks on the left, but you can see a container of military firearms beyond that. A reference copy of the mission overview is taped to whiteboard. Can you tell where the Earth Dragon will be coming from? And on the left paper, you can see Glean, Kugiri, and “Sarah?” listed as the first group.

But they’re going to gain weight if they keep eating and drinking like this…


*'''Pages 9-10

The building visible in the back is the recreation facility. With just this image, you would think they were going camping, wouldn’t you?


*'''Page 11

Nothing to say here. Hmm.


*'''Page 12

The pattern on the ground below the Earth Dragon is a ley line redirection emblem meant to guide the dragon’s appearance to that point. It’s actually extremely detailed, but it looks more abstract since it’s way in the background.

Is Thunderbird angry because he sees himself as SF’s protector or because chickens like to bully snakes? It’s hard to say.
