Panel 1 (russian):
IVAN: In practice, this means that the two of them and their androids will be cruising around in the Mars rover for the next 45 minutes while you install yourself in your new quarters.
GISELLE: Ah. Okay.
Panel 2 (russian):
IVAN: Oh, and in case you're missing someone here -
GISELLE: Absolutely! Where's ze pilot of ze spaceship zet's going to take us to Mars?
IVAN: Well observed! He was invited to welcome you, but he preferred to do some in-depth studies on the technology of his Mars rocket.
Panel 3 (russian):
BRUNO: He seems to me to be quite a loner who prefers not to socialize.
Panel 4 (russian):
GISELLE: And ‘o is ‘e? Do I know ‘im?
BRUNO: Vilis Brucs, a Latvian.
GISELLE: Hm, zet doesn't ring a bell.
IVAN: Let's not waste any more time. Lennard, who has certainly gotten to know the geography of the station by now, can show you your establishment and, if you like, guide you around a bit.
We'll all - including you, Giselle - meet here at 1500 for our daily centrifuge training.

The costumes look especially great in this installment. Nice work, Othosmops!

Thank you! You should see how great they look on the next but one page!

I'm with Bravo. I want that pilot to know that rocket backward and forward! He can socialize after he's SURE he can fly that rocket, and get us to Mars in one piece!

We will see later whether Vilis' full attention is really focused on the rocket.

Gieselle has already seen Vilis' android briefly at the charging station.

One thing I know I'd want my pilot to do would be doing in-depth studies of the rocket rather than socializing. Want him to know the rocket better than his passengers. ;)

If you look at it that way, then he is an excellent pilot.
