Issue 6- "Hey Macare--GAAH!" (Translation for Issue 6 of "The Boo-Ya!" into the backward, hot mess of an Earth language known as English is brought to you by the Shiny Buddy. Did your Rohtla Refresh celebration get a little too out of hand? Use the Shiny Buddy to spiff up your living quarters, your wardrobe, and any other dings and cracks you may have suffered through after drinking one too many Grootles. [NOTE 1: Not applicable toward your actual appearance or lot in life due to damage of the space-time continuum. NOTE 2: Having a forgettable experience with a former mate on Double-R is not a sufficient reason to potentially end all of existence.]) Page 1, 2 Panels- Aharons Estate, Galatiel Panel 1: We open on a shot of young Atom Aharons (8 rohtlas old, to be exact) sitting out at an outdoor patio looking out at an emerald green-blue sky that is partially visible toward the left of the panel view. His dark hair is styled in a short, buzz cut that just barely reaches the top of his neck. He's dressed in a nice looking formal outfit, similar to what you'd find with someone at a boarding school. CAPTION: Aharons Estate Next to the Royal House of Galatiel 40 Rohtlas Ago MP ATOM AHARONS [Off-Panel thought Caption]: My paterus worked for the High King of Galatiel for the entirety of his existence. Twelve horuts a weatt, he cleaned the bathing areas, fed the Kremlees and the Doh'viens they cared for at the back of the castle, tended to the King and their royal family, and many other things that the invisible of our society did for meager pay. An existence that many of my colleagues in Parliament wouldn't touch with a ten-foot longpole. MP ATOM AHARONS [Cont., Caption 2]: But he never complained about it. He never raised a bitter tone for the rotten luck given to him in this life. He just did his job, loved his mate, and raised his son under the all-knowing gaze of the Eye. My paterus tried to give his only child every kind of advantage that he feasibly could pull together which wasn't much, I must admit. Fortunately... Panel 2: Cut to a shot from the patio of the room, showing the back of the determined young man's head, looking out at an exquisite castle that lies next to the room this whole time. A gorgeous piece of architecture with roofs that stretch out to the sky above. You can see the tops of trees as well as parts of the front yard toward the bottom left of the panel view, along with the paved concrete road that is currently occupied at that point by a floating barge moving toward the front of the castle. MP ATOM AHARONS [Off-Panel thought Caption]: I had more than enough determination within me to make up for any societal shortcomings. Page 2, 6 Panels- Atom Aharons' Penthouse, Capitol, Present Day Panel 1: We move to a shot of the MP via a three-dimensional TV display. He's seated on a chair behind a black backdrop, similar to what you would find of a guest on the Charlie Rose show on Earth. On the bottom of the display, you can see a chyron that reads "Exclusive Interview with Defense Committee Chairman Atom Aharons" and "T'Resias Tonight" in gold letters via a red bar above that. Below all of that, you can also see a newscrawl that moves quickly from right to left. CAPTION: Atom Aharons Penthouse in the Heart of the Capitol MP ATOM AHARONS [Cont., to the Interviewer warmly]: It's how I rose to the very top of the Justice Academy by the time I was 16. How I became the Chief Defense Advisor to the former MP Ar'Bert Rinuhlls-- Panel 2: Cut to a shot of the presenter on the other side of the table, the conservatively dressed T'Resias, leaning forward and interjecting their two cents into the conversation. They are roughly the same height as Mr. Aharons with purple eyes anda pinkish-gray skin. Their hair isn't really hair at all, but rather a set of five spikes that stretch down his thin neck in a matter similar to hair on Earth. CAPTION: Present Day T'RESIAS [to MP Aharons]: A legend in Galatielan politics. If I am not mistaken, he was the very first soul from your world to participate in the Beschuldigig. Panel 3: Same setting/layout as Panel 1. The MP leans back in his chair, giving a quick nod to the host's statement. The chyron below is also similar to the one that was seen both in the previous panel and the page's first panel. His face grows slightly colder, along with the rest of his body language, though he still maintains a sense of congeniality that helps conceal it from the viewer. MP ATOM AHARONS [solemnly]: Indeed he was...fifteen rohtlas ago, to be precise. His attempt was felled by the now High Chancellor Gralki in well under an horut. A result that was a great disappointment at the time to his family and the loyal staff who prepared him for the battle. The only glimmer of good that came from such a moment was my ascension to the role of MP one rohtla later. T'RESIAS [Off-Panel]: An event that has its own level of surprise at that moment...but we can leave that for another quinla. Panel 4: Same setting/layout as what we saw in Panel 2. The ever intrepid reporter leans forward, placing its sharp elbows onto the hard table. His eyes grow a little wider and shift into a lighter shade of purple as he speaks. You can see, in his overall body language, an added spark brought about by journalistic curiosity. T'RESIAS [Cont., curious]: Going back to your former boss. It was also a great surprise to many prognosticators at the time who expected a far more contentious Beschuldigig between the two of them. There were even rumors that Mr. Rinuhlls threw the fight because of gambling debts to the Gianzalla family, which would only be settled by his death. Panel 5-6: A two-part set of panels that are centered back on the MP a split second later. The setting and layout is similar to what we saw in Panels 1 and 3, with the same chyron as well as the same endlessly moving newscrawl. In Panel 5, we see the veteran politician go off on the presenter in a fit of rage at the insinuation. A rare display of visible anger compared to his persona amongst the public and press. Which he notices in Panel 6 and starts to pull back and regain the level of composure he had earlier. MP ATOM AHARONS [angry and offended, Panel 5]: Absolutely not, he'd never engage in such acts! No one believed more in the cleansing power of morality in government affairs than he did. If anyone could be in league with the Gianzallas, logic would dictate it'd be the former High Chancellor... T'RESIAS [Off-Panel, surprised; Panel 6]: Hold on, Mr. MP. Are you suggesting the High Chancellor and the biggest crime boss in the history of the Alliance were in league prior to the last recorded Beschuldigig? MP ATOM AHARONS [trying to correct, Panel 6]: Well, I--See, T'resias, it's important that... MP ATOM AHARONS [Off-Panel bubble, Panel 6]: Mute!
