Description

Panel One: Cal is leaning against the side of an open stone archway, red-faced and panting. "Is he trying to kill me?!" he thinks. SFX: >Pant< >Wheeze<

Panel Two: Shot from behind Cal. He's on the peak of the roof, which is a long walkway between two towers at either end of the roof. It's lined with a Gothic stone railing. On the walkway, DJ is looking up from a large telescope. It has a thick, short barrel and is pointed to the horizon. The sun has set, and the sky is beginning to darken. Smiling, DJ says, "Perfect timing! You know Mars, right?" Cal, still leaning against the doorframe, asks, "Huh? >pant< The planet?"

Panel Three: Long, thin panel with Cal, DJ, the telescope and the railing in silhouette against the darkening sky. There are some stars already visible. DJ is gesturing with his arms wide as he says, "Yeah! Have you ever seen it?" Cal's head is turned towards the sky and he says, as he walks towards DJ with the box in his hands, "Well, yeah. It's right there."

Panel Four: Big panel with Cal and DJ. DJ is on Cal's left, and he has his right arm draped over Cal's shoulder. His other hand is in a fist, and he has a happy, excited expression on his face as he says, leaning towards Cal, "But have you ever seen the surface? It's really cool!" Cal is smiling back at DJ, obviously amused at his eagerness. "Heh!" he says. The background is full of cute stars and clouds like a nebula.
