Transcript
[This scene is in a mountain with many bumps. Everything is in one panel. The consecutive actions and speech text proceed roughly from left to right.]
[Cueball and Megan are both facing right, facing a hill. They are both wearing a backpack.]
Cueball: Okay, we're nearing the next downhill segment. I'll put in the order.
Cueball: ...confirming start and end points...
Cueball: Submitted!
[A waterslide with drones attached to it, flying down and to the right, with a wavy, dotted line heading down to the slide from the top, showing the direction it has arrived from. Megan and Cueball are standing together. Megan is pointing at the waterslide. Megan and Cueball are moved slightly forward from their last appearance, and on a side of the hill.]
Megan: Look, here it comes!
[The slide is on the downhill slope, with drones above it. Megan and Cueball are shown sliding down with dots around them, most likely showing the splash of water around them. Possibly riding on, or in, a long inflatable of some kind, whose front and rear ends are seen angling up out of the waterslide trough that also hides the two character's lower bodies. Some drones are near the waterslide.]
Cueball and Megan: Wheeeee
[The slide now is flying up and to the right with drones and another wavy dotted line, this time showing that it has been heading away from the point of use.]
[Cueball and Megan are depicted walking, ahead of their last appearance.]
[Caption below the panel:]
On-demand waterslide delivery has really improved the whole hiking experience.
