Seraphim do not have feathered wings; what look like double sets of wings extending from head to foot of a transport seraphim being prepared are energy insulators, friction shields (39:5.12)
The passenger is first put into transit sleep; the seraphim moves into a horizontal position above the planet's universe energy pole; with the shields wide open, assistants lay the sleeping personality directly on top of the angel; the upper and lower pairs of shields are then closed (39:5.13)
The seraphim grows pointed at both extremities and is enshrouded in a queer amber light until the passenger cannot be distinguished; it becomes an almost transparent, vibrating, torpedo-shaped outline of glistening luminosity (39:5.14)
Chief of transport inspects; two mechanical controllers take position; about a thousand living energy transmitters; the dispatcher touches the near point and the carriage shoots forward with lightning speed, leaving a trail of luminosity to the edge of the atmosphere (39:5.14)
Angels cannot carry flesh-and-blood bodies; passengers are morontia or spirit forms (39:2.13); the transit sleep is like sleeping on a vehicle overnight (39:2.11-2.12)
Mount Seraph, almost 15,000 feet, is Jerusem's departure point; a transport leaves every three seconds through the light period; mechanical developments give initial energy (46:2.8)
No sun in Jerusem's sky; light sifts from the whole sky (46:1.4)

The scene compresses the sequence: one seraphim open and receiving its passenger, one closed and glowing amber, a third streaking away
The seraphim's personal form is drawn as a tall, elongated, softly luminous humanlike figure, deliberately indistinct, with two pairs of long translucent energy panels, NOT feathers
Departure platform as a terrace at the summit of Mount Seraph over the planet's energy pole
