The Boo-Ya! #8: Pages 19-20
Page 19, 6 Panels- Dr. Arxin's Laboratory, 5 floors beneath the Docking Bay, Mientahl
Panel 1-2: A two-part set of panels that centers on a wider shot, back to its normal colors, resembling the same setting and layout we saw back in the middle of Page 16, save for Dr. Arxin standing at the far right edge of both panels. In Panel 1, the Madam is seen looking at her watch in boredom while the Doctor instructs. In the next panel, the attention of the group is transfixed by the action going on in front of them.
DR. ARXIN [Cont., carefully to Nessa; Panel 1]: Now, gently…take the ice pahka off the rack. And make sure you don't— ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [Off-Panel yell, Panel 1]: Holy schneh—! DR. ARXIN [surprised, Panel 2]: --get startled. THE MADAM [snickering, to herself; Panel 2]: This just got fun all of a sudden...
Panel 3: We move to a shot taken from the ceiling looking down of the invisible Nessa looking on at the frozen block that is Robin, locked in a perpetual shocked/screaming pose in ice. The sound of footsteps can be heard as she speaks, signifying the close in distance at that very moment.
NESSA [pleased, to the Madam and Staehlia]: An improvement for this ape…maybe we can leave her in the meat closet till the job's done?
Panel 4: Action shot of the Madam walking away from the table, moving toward the two of them with Staehlia behind her at that point. Her flask of alcohol is visible in her upstage hand as she speaks. You can see the head of one of the caged creatures that have been kept on the upstage table through the course of the scene.
THE MADAM [intrigued, to Nessa]: Maybe…let me get Capaldi on the horn to— STAEHLIA [interjecting, to the Madam]: I am not certain that would be a wise tactic, cap'n.
Panel 5-6: A two-part set of panels that starts off in Panel 5 with a shot of the Titanian genius as she moves alongside her captain, chiming in on the matter with a great deal of calm. In Panel 6, we move to a shot of Dr. Arxin standing in front of a collection of animal cages in the laboratory. Her right hand grabbing the top of one of them which contains an orange dragon-like creature that is currently the size of a hawk with scaly skin and crocodile-like jaw structure.
STAEHLIA [Cont., Panel 5]: Her current body mass is well over 1,000 Pinds, once the added icy mass is factored. Which, on top of the likely death sentence for Ms. Cartwright, although you and Nessa are quite measurable in strength, I highly doubt you can lift more than 6 steps. DR. ARXIN [nod in agreement, Panel 6]: The only options the human has are waiting an horut for its effects to wear off. Or...the Moônghis.

Panel 1: Action shot of the Doctor that takes place under a minuyat later when she arrives just in front of the young woman. The cage door to the Moônghis has opened up, and it leaps up revealing a set of wings that are hidden beneath the creature's front two legs. Its scaly back is in prominent view of the reader in the foreground, flying up toward An'x's shoulder.
DR. ARXIN [cautiously, to Robin]: If you can hear me in there, relax and try not to move any important body parts while the Moônghis is in action. The flames are hot enough that, with one wrong move, it can leave that pretty brown flesh of yours a tad blacker than you may desire.
Panel 2-3: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. A couple of seconds later, we see the little creature perch on the Doctor's shoulder just as she stops in perfect position to Ms. Cartwright. You can see Nessa appear in view behind her on the left of the panel view, watching the same scene take place. In Panel 3, as the Killeman stands to her side, the Moônghis lets loose a steady stream of fire from its open, tiny fanged mouth.
NESSA [to Dr. Arxin, Panel 2]: What makes you think the meat bag can hear you through that ice? DR. ARXIN [with a shrug, to Nessa; Panel 2]: Mostly guesstimation, Ness my dear. Even if she doesn't though... DR. ARXIN [Cont., grinning; Panel 3]: It's calming to me!
Panel 4-6: A three-part set of panels that centers on our human protagonist in her frozen state. With each preceding panel, you can see her icy encampment slowly but surely melting as a course of the bright orange-blue flames from top to bottom, setting her body free by the time we reach Panel 6. It's in this panel that we see Ms. Cartwright, soaked from head to toe, let out the bottled up scream.
