I made our Jeffries Tube a little bit longer this time to help with the depth appearing on camera. Not sure it worked? It's a tricky thing to shoot,

Panel 1:
Lieutenant Commander Natashia Staratt: Potemkin is entering the planet's troposphere.
Commander Dale Zurkett: Range to target?
Helmsman Talia: Entering high orbit. Target is at 500 kilometers.
Dale: Ensign? How about that tractor beam?
Ensign Plozz: I can barely see her, sir! Our viewscreen is currently a window!
Dale: Well, better than a door, right?
Panel 2:
Unknown Transmission: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Dale (comms): Sorry about that. Zack, Andre... we could really use that comptuer.
Andre Peters: It's going to be a little longer, Commander.

Zack: And I feel so incredibly safe.
Panel 3:
Unknown Transmission: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Dale: Hylia, is there any way we can possibly just turn off the ship intercom? Or at least lower the volume?

Panel 4:
Natashia: Potemkin will be out of range in fifteen seconds.
Dale: Take the shot, Ensign!
Plozz: Okay, I--
I got it! Tractor beam locked!
Dale: I told you you could do it!
Talia! Full reverse! Tow them back up.
Talia: Sir, we have a problem! Potemkin'simpulse engines are engaging! It's--
Panel 5:
Talia: Too much!!
