Panel 1 — Human involvement
Relay Roof, June 21, 2230, afternoon equipment check before the first Whole Take hour. Two carriers have set a heavy amplifier on the rooftop landing. Bronx and Tamsin speak entirely off frame.
BRONX: Whole Take. Every human contribution named.
TAMSIN: Who carried the amplifier?
Panel 2 — Outside the recording
The amplifier stands beside tired boots. The long staircase descends behind the railing. Kes, one of the two carriers, answers.
BRONX: That's not on the recording.
KES: Neither is the staircase.
Panel 3 — Order of appearance
A fresh program sheet rests on the studio table beside a pencil and the amplifier's carrying sling. Tamsin dictates the addition.
TAMSIN: Carriers go on every Whole Take listing.
BRONX: Before the song?
TAMSIN: That's when they worked.
Panel 4 — The encore
After the brief check, the unplugged amplifier is ready to go back downstairs. Its lead is safely coiled. Kes gestures toward a free handle, inviting Bronx to help; he has not yet taken it.
BRONX: Amplifier carried by Una and Kes.
KES: Lovely. The encore goes downstairs.
