Time Lady of L.A. #12: Pages 15-16

Page 15, 6 Panels- Secret Free Tahrir Compound Conference Room, 1985 Cairo Egypt Panel 1: Cut to an action shot of Mona, walking up from the right side of the panel view toward Ms. Franklin's position closer to the center of the area. She's addressing both of the protesting organizers with a solid glare as she speaks. Giana, meanwhile, looks on with a steadily increasing anxiety over what she's talking about. MONA [Cont. in Egyptian Arabic]: This woman to my left is just as strong, courageous, and intelligent as any other man in this room...or this entire organization! Panel 2-3: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. Mona stops a few beats later alongside Giana, whose anxiety steadily increases as she glares at the young Free Tahrir General, and places her left hand over her shoulder. The same glare that we saw in the direction of the organizers is still very much visible from the previous panel. In Panel 3, in that same setting and layout, Mona leans over and whispers something into Giana's ear. MONA [Cont.; Panel 2]: She also provides us with something that will help us in the Rally next Saturday- the element of surprise. GIANA [thinking to herself, recognizing the word "Rally"; Panel 2]: Rally? MONA [whispering to Giana in English; Panel 3]: ...Your metal feline. GIANA [pause, then realizes what she's talking about; Panel 3]: Oh--Oh, yes! Panel 4: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. Giana steps forward and looks over in Amanda's direction near the back of the room where Feli9 is located. Mona is seen dropping the same hand she had over Giana's shoulder in Panel 3 to her side, watching as Ms. Franklin takes the proverbial reigns. GIANA [to Feli9, thinking for a brief moment after "initiate"]: Feli9, initate.... GIANA [thought bubble between Bubble 1 and Bubble 2]: Shit, shit, shit...Which one to use? Which one?....Oh yeah! GIANA [Bubble 2]: Dazzler! FELI9 [Off-Panel in robotic voice, to Giana]: Yes, mistress! Panel 5-6: Cut to the back of the room where Amanda and Feli9 are standing. You can also see the faces of the other organizers there, including the two organizers that we saw in the previous page, looking on with great shock and surprise after hearing the robotic feline speak. In Panel 5, we see Feli9's tiny propellers firing up and her metallic body starting to lift off the ground. A half-minute later, in Panel 6, we see the robotic feline flying above the table to the commotion/hub-bub of the organizers watching the scene start to rev up. Page 16, 7 Panels- Secret Free Tahrir Compound Conference Room, 1985 Cairo Egypt Panel 1-4: A four-part set of panels that each act as pieces of a single setting. Namely, the whole room and the organizers (including the 2 organizers from Page 14 who have sat down at this point) watching in stunned silence, along with Amanda in the upper right corner of Panel 2 and lower half portion of Panel 4, as Feli9 flies around the room in an oval shape unleashing a small set of sparklers that light up the ceiling in various shades of yellow, blue and red. You can even see a shadow of Feli9's form underneath her main metal form in Panels 1 and 2, still forming that same round oval shape. Panel 5: Cut to a shot of one of the organizers seated at the table thirty seconds later. He has a gruff (yet appropriate according to Muslim teaching) beard that blends in with his youthful, brown face. He's dressed in intellectual fashion of the day with a coat. All accented by a scarf that wraps over his neck that covers what appears to be a collared T-shirt that he's wearing. ORGANIZER #3 [to Giana with some skepticism, translated from Egyptian Arabic]: So we're going to use this...tinker toy to give the enemy a fireworks show? How will this make the Rally successful? Panel 6: Back to Giana standing at the front of the table. We see her mind already in the throes of thought, stretching from Panel 5, looking to answer the question appropriately. The skies above her still flicker with the same yellow and blue that we saw at the beginning of the page, albeit in a lower tint as it starts to fade away. GIANA [to Organizer #3, steadily growing confident with the plan as it comes together in her head]: Umm, well, from what I understand...it won't be a singular action. It's actually going to be part of a larger plan. Namely... Panel 7: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. In the middle of her speech, we see Mona rush into view to the right of the panel view. Her words carrying more of a weight and force for the assembled members of the room as she speaks. The same white blandness of the background we saw behind Giana is also visible here. MONA [interjecting, to the group; once more translated from Egyptian Arabic]: We're going to take down the Haddad Ifrit!
