Issue 1- "We Are the Motherflarkin' BOO-YA!" (Translation for Issue 1 of "The Boo-Ya!" into the backward, hot mess of an Earth language known as English is brought to you by MC Nyx on Spiffluis-2. The only medical professional in the entire Tristellar Alliance specializing in brain swapping and body maintenance for immortal beings and those transitioning to immortal status [Now Pxyx-friendly].) Page 1, 7 Panels- Nessa's Bedroom onboard the Boo-Ya! Panel 1-3: A three-part set of panels centered around a stereo on a counter with a circular orange placement like a CD player. You can see a gray-black wall behind the piece of electronic as it comes to life in Panel 1, first with a click around the top left corner of the panel view and moving to the opening guitar chords of the song (Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl") through the stereo's small yet powerful side speakers. It looks somewhat like a standard Earth stereo from the '80s and '90s, rectangular in shape and hovering above the hard granite of the piece of furniture. Though with a considerable amount of advanced tech, including hover technology. The waves visible on the rear of the device that are in charge of keeping it levitating. With each panel, it pulls back to show more of the dirty, dingy and barely furnished bedroom with the front door visible around the right side of the panel view. You can see on the walls posters of alien creatures from different star systems that are viewed as sexy, though not really by Earth standards. Also, by Panel 3, we see NESSA gliding into view in a dance in sync (somewhat) with the song. HALL & OATES [from the stereo; Panel 1]: "You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway You can rely on the old man's money" HALL & OATES [Cont., Panel 2]: "You can rely on the old man's money It's a bitch girl but it's gone too far 'Cause you know it don't matter anyway" HALL AND OATES [Cont., Panel 3]: "Say money but it won't get you too far Get you too far..." Panel 4: Close-up on Nessa a moment later. She's tall and lanky with dark blue skin, black and clover green hair that droops down to her shoulders, blue eyes and the body of a Crossfit competitor. She uses a half-full bottle of light green alcohol as a microphone, chugging it in between uncoordinated, tipsy dance moves as the song continues onward. You can see in the background behind her next to the room's front door a screen that acts as a video telephone. CAPTION: Vanessateiler "Nessa" Ev Andalean Pilot of the Boo-Ya! Tough, gritty, lover of Hall & Oates and Sushi NESSA [singing off-key in Andalean accent]: "Don't you know, don't you know That it's wrong to take what is given you So far gone, on your own You can get along if you try to be strong But you'll never be strong 'cause--" SOUND EFFECT [from the screen]: BEEP! CAPALDI [in a Scottish brogue; to Nessa]: Incoming transmission from the Royal Palace on Keelzahn. NESSA [thinking to herself]: Huh...they're early! Panel 5: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. She stops dancing a split second after hearing the message with the song continuing in the background. Her eyes go slightly coal black, letting out a frustrated sigh as the Madam appears in view. A hulking behemoth of a woman with light orange skin, crimson hair and emerald eyes, wearing something white and green though it's hard to determine here what type of clothing it is. THE MADAM [to Nessa, through the videophone speakers]: Ness?....Ness! Panel 6: Cut to a shot of the screen with Madam looking on. It's enough that we see her wearing a pair of jeans and a torn-up dress. Her muscles appearing prominently via the sleeves. The song in Nessa's bedroom going down in volume to a point that the ship's captain can be heard. She lets out a quick chuckle as she runs away from the sound of laser blasters and armed guards coming from out of screen view. In the background, over the Madam's right shoulder, you can see part of the ship's communication officer Staehlia in view trying her best to block the blasts coming their way. THE MADAM [Cont. to Nessa]: Catch ya at a bad time? NESSA [Off-Panel]: Not at all, cap'n...just enjoying my down time with some H&O. Panel 7: Back to a shot of Nessa's face as she walks up to the screen. The various bits of the bedroom blurring together somewhat in the background as she speaks, illuminated by the set of ceiling lights above her in a glow of white. As she speaks, you can see her left hand already moving the quarter-full bottle of alocohol up to her lips in preparation for one last off-panel chug. NESSA [Cont. to the Madam as the eyes retain their natural blue, signifying calm]: Besides, "Private Eyes" or "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling" were better. NESSA [Bubble 2]: So...what went wrong this time? THE MADAM [Off-Panel, to Nessa non-chalantly]: Ah, you know...the usual! Page 2, 6 Panels- Royal Palace, Keelzahn Panel 1: Cut to a shot of the Madam and Staehlia running side-by-side down a hallway. You can see by the railing and the dip down to the ground floor that it's on the second floor. You can also see for the first time not just the group of a half-dozen well-armed, buff soldiers dressed in the regal purple and silver colors of Keelzahn but also a large bag looped over Madam's left shoulder. CAPTION [above the Madam]: The Madam (Real Name- Unknown) Killeman Captain of the Boo-Ya! Loyal to her crew, to Sexist tools...not so much! THE MADAM [Cont. to Nessa, looking down at the portable communicator in her right hand]: A little dancing, some booze-- CAPTION [above Staehlia]: Staehlia C'Raanes Titanian Communications Officer of the Boo-Ya! Super genius, able to adapt and retain new skills...no big thing! STAEHLIA [interjecting; Bubble 1]: Five bottles of Saturnian Schnapps to be exact. THE MADAM [Bubble 2]: There was also the usual schmoozing of the hoity toity, not to mention some expert flirting with the hired help to find out where the Princess kept her jewels. But I tripped the room's pressure alarms and...here we are! STAEHLIA [to Madam; Bubble 2]: Should I also mention the fact you had sex with the aforementioned Princess, which ended up triggering said pressure alarms? Panel 2: Cut to a shot of the good Captain looking back at Staehlia's direction to offer her retort. The bag filled with jangling jewles in place to the right of the panel view. A look of slight annoyance in her eyes as she lobs her highly quickened defense. The video communicator screen visible partially over the massive Killeman's shoulder. As this goes on, in the background, you can see a window ten steps in the distance leading outside. THE MADAM [defensive; to Staehlia, Bubble 1]: Only once, Stahl! Besides, it was her bony arse that triggered the alarm, not me. I-- NESSA [interjecting to the Madam, from the video communicator speakers; Bubble 1]: Anyway--Did you get the ched? THE MADAM [to Nessa, Bubble 2]: Of course, Ness! Not that damn stupid. NESSA [from the video communicator speakers, Bubble 2]: Just double checking...be there in a few! Panel 3: Back to Staehlia a moment later. She looks up and notices something off in the distance, signified only by a loud "BANG!" that occurs off-panel. Her right hand points out the visible blockades that have been unleashed at them from the walls. There's a look of heightened anxiety in her eyes at this same moment. STAEHLIA: Look out, Ikewahllen! Panel 4: Back to Madam a split second later as she discovers the unseen Ikewahllen. She turns off the video communicator and slips it into a pouch that is hidden underneath the formal looking dress that she's been wearing the whole time. There is a devilishly playful look on her face upon seeing the impediment. THE MADAM [gleeful]: Ooo, how adorable...and sad too! Panel 5-6: A two-part set of panels centered on a side shot of the same hallway. It shows the two heroines as they maneuver through the Ikewahllen (and the laser blasts from the guards) toward the window at the far right edge of the panel view in Panel 6. The Madam going through each impediment with a mix of brute force and finesse, with Staehlia following behind with more of an effortless manner, ducking through the shards of ice and metal left by their captain. By Panel 6, we see the young Titanian a step behind the Madam as she preps to make her move. THE MADAM [Cont., Panel 5, Bubble 1]: Plunging all that ched on defensive maneuvers that an infant in the Capitol slums could slip through. THE MADAM [Cont., Panel 5, Bubble 2]: The least we can do is give the guards and their "fine" galactic puppet masters a show for their stupidity. STAEHLIA [confused, to the Madam; Panel 5]: A "show?" What are you... STAEHLIA [understanding; Panel 6]: Ohhh....I see now!
