Hmm... thanks Marco, that Ellie's finding is very interesting! I also find her suggestion of light(ning) vs sound very valuable.
So, the whole plot may be thus:
The person on the right is lightning-struck, and thus dead. S/he has been killed by the lightning (the star nearby). The thunder "lags behind" the lightning. This would never be the case when the lightning strikes right at you, but that may be a philosophical "supplement" to illustrate the general principle that light in general (or lightning in particular) travels faster - maybe to stress it out that if you hear the thunder then you are safe (until the next strike, haha).
The operator and the apparatus would then be some mythological or mystical producers of the lightning.
