1 FULL-SHOT of Karza surveying the fleet and posing for the reader, hands clasped behind his back and cloak licking in a forced air breeze. Karza's dialog is expositioning Rann and his plot to defeat the K'Lar.

2 PULLBACK and reverse angles to show the reader the fleet as it orbits around the gas giant from the bridge of the Flag Ship. Karza--back to the reader--is at a viewport, surveying, as the Officer of the Deck comes to attention well away from the would-be tyrant, reporting. Cary--lots of deadspace for megalomaniac expository monologue.

3 MCU of the reporting officer, obviously nervous about reporting to Karza.

4 HS of Karza. "Excellent!" is his only remark, hissing the word.

5 CUT TO the fleet. They're "sling-shoting" off the gas giant, using the speed of the planet's rotation to launch them back into space (and saving on fuel!). Clear of the planet, the fleet is slipping into warp. There's plenty of ships to show each stage of this.
