The Boo-Ya! #4: Pages 17-18

Page 17, 5 Panels- "Goldmember," Moltrasio Italy Panel 1: Same setting/layout as the last panel of the previous page. A second after we leave the action then, the Madam lowers her growl to a simmering anger as she finishes off the remnant of her threat to the diminuitive dealer, whose boots are subsequently quaking when faced against the physically imposing captain. THE MADAM [threateningly, to Conneskiz]: Now, kindly shut that hyets nest of a mouth up before I huck you into low orbit. I've got a proposition... CONNESKIZ [panicked, quickly nodding]: Mmm-hmmm, mmm-hmmm.... Panel 2-3: A two-part set of panels centered around the same setting/layout as the previous one. In Panel 2, the Madam reaches behind her with her left arm out of view of the shot while still effortlessly holding the still scared Mr. Ja'Brin with her right one. In Panel 3, a few moments later, the Killeman lets go of him after getting a satisfactory answer. THE MADAM [Cont., Panel 2]: My chicla Staehlia will generate a holo-image of one of the jewels for you to look over and gauge price-wise. That work for you? CONNESKIZ [quickly shakes his head, to the Madam; Panel 2]: Yes--Yes! Absolutely, yes! THE MADAM [grins, Panel 3]: Good... SOUND EFFECT [from Conneskiz' shoes, Panel 3]: THUMP! Panel 4: Cut to a shot a half-minute later of the Madam from the top half of her body upward. Her left arm is already turning back around toward a normal position. The grin that was on her face in the previous panel is a little wider at this point. You can partially see Staehlia to the left of her a second after delivering the comm where the aforementioned image is imprinted. THE MADAM [one last warning]: Oh, by the way--I wouldn't try stealing that comm. Stahl has a pretty painful security system in place for anyone who doesn't have her unique genetic signature. Panel 5: Back to a shot of Conneskiz a few moments later. He starts to flip the comm screen over to see the image properly. The floor of the yacht as well as the building they're all standing next to can be seen in the background. At the same moment, you can see him glancing up in the direction of Staehlia as she chimes in. STAEHLIA [Off-Panel, to Conneskiz]: Two words- massive electropulse. Not enough to kill you though, but certainly enough to render you unconscious for a-- CONNESKIZ [interjecting, to Staehlia]: I get the point! Page 18, 7 Panels- "Goldmember," Moltrasio Italy Panel 1-3: A three-part set of panels centered in the same setting and layout as the last panel of the previous page. In the first panel, we see Conneskiz reach out and grab Staehlia's comm from her hand (which crosses from the left of the panel view). In the next panel, he looks over the image on it, hidden from the reader by a dark blue-gray energy field that pops up from the screen. A minute later, without saying a word, he walks off toward the left of the panel view. CONNESKIZ [ponderous thought, Panel 2]: Hmmm....Hmmmm.... CONNESKIZ [intrigued, Panel 3]: Oooo--this is good! Panel 4: Cut to a shot a few seconds later of Staehlia and Nessa just as Mr. Ja'Brin walks past them, handing the comm back to the young Titanian as he walks by. Nessa looks on with a little touch of aggravation by it as she chews up a glob of sushi that she placed into her mouth while her captain and Conneskiz were chatting. CONNESKIZ [Cont. to Staehlia, Nessa and the Madam]: Very...very good! NESSA [through stuffed mouth, with raised eyebrow]: Like we didn't flarkin' know that already! Panel 5: Cut to the Madam standing in the same position that she was in through the majority of the previous page. She looks on, following Conneskiz journey off-panel with her arms folded over her chest. Much like her other compatriots, the Killeman has a look of curious disbelief on her face over the comment. CONNESKIZ [Off-Panel, casually and barely noticed by the others]: To the Wohl't, please! THE MADAM [to Conneskiz, agreeing with her friend]: 'Kay, I'm gonna assume that's your personal safe or some shite. How much you're gonna shell out for them? CONNESKIZ [Off-Panel, Bubble 2]: I will reveal that once we reach the Wohl't. Though I must warn you, my friends... Panel 6: Cut to Cnneskiz who has stopped at a select point in the command center. He looks back toward our three alien protagonists with a slight grin on his face. His right hand sliding down to his side after touching a nearby console which comes to life, showing an outline of his handprint. As he talks, you can see a secret entrance in the floor start to open up thanks in part to the handprint ID. CONNESKIZ [Cont.]: It can get a little bright in there! Panel 7: We move back to a shot of the Madam in a similar setting to what we saw in Panel 5. The difference being that it's more of a close-up on the good captain's face a second later. She raises an eyebrow and scoffs at the "warning" Mr. Ja'Brin had given all of them. Her arms, at this point, have unwrapped from their folded position and started to move back to her sides as she speaks. THE MADAM [snarky, to Conneskiz]: No more than the side of your yacht? CONNESKIZ [chuckling, Off-Panel]: Oh yes...my apologies!
