Panel 1: where we see the Pyramid Deliveries boat
docked at the secret island where Max Shea and the other missing persons from
the New Frontiersman article in Chapter
VIII’s back-matter have been working since their disappearances. And, as with most everything related to Veidt,
the color of the Pyramid Deliveries ship is purple (the color of royalty).
Panel 2: Norm Leith and Lin Paley are two of the other
missing persons mentioned in the New Frontiersman article.
Panel 3: Furnesse was also mentioned in the same
article.
Another
important bit of information is the fact that a human brain was used for the
“special effect” mentioned by Shea. This
is an integral part of Veidt’s overall plan.
Panel 4: The “shipwrecked voyager” that Hira Manish
asks about in this conversation is the protagonist from the Black Freighter comic we have seen throughout
Watchmen. Shea’s response to the
question of whether the voyager got
off the island – “Well, yes, but…” – is a foreboding answer and foreshadows what
is to come for him and the others who have been working secretly
on this island.
