The Boo-Ya! #9: Pages 17-18
Page 17, 5 Panels- Holodeck, the Boo-Ya!
Panel 1-2: Same setting as the last panel of the previous page. The layout shifts slightly to take in the window with Dr. Arxin looking on with her metal arms crossed over her chest. You can feel the rush of excitement coming over the young human's body, pumping her fist (which turns into a ball of energy) as she speaks. In Panel 2, you can see one of the balls shooting up and hitting the roof, briefly shaking the setting as she hits the floor once more.
ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [Cont., Panel 1]: Feels like I should have my own themr so... ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [startled; Panel 2]: Shit...! [to Dr. Arxin] Sorry about that, Dr. Arxin. DR. ARXIN [to Robin, calmly; Panel 2]: It's fine. The buffers should absorb the energy without any damage to the surrounding area.
Panel 3: Cut to a close-up of An'x a second later. Her arms still put in the same crossed position that we saw her in back in the previous panel. We see up close more of the calm from within the helmet as she speaks to her student at that moment. Her gaze is pulled up slightly as a result of the voice coming from the off-panel speaker.
DR. ARXIN [Cont.]: Your battle technique, Ms. Cartwright, was a little...not even close to good technically speaking (though effective in the moment). And as enjoyable as your...quaint human excitement is to watch, you should only use the Dohz outside the ship unless you wanna cause a hull breach-- THE MADAM [from the speaker in the Holodeck, to Dr. Arxin and Robin]: What the hells happened in there?! DR. ARXIN [Bubble 2]: Or anger her.
Panel 4: Back to Robin in the same setting as the top of the page with the gray bricks of the opposite wall in the background. She nods in acceptance to what An'x had told her. Her armored fist regressing back to an opened hand, releasing the energy out and returning it to normal.
ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [to Dr. Arxin, in agreement]: Point taken... ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [Cont., to the Madam apologetically; Bubble 2]: That was me, Madam. Got a little excited during training. I'll try to save it for the faces of the bad guys and the MP. THE MADAM [from the ceiling]: Whatever. Didn't need the over explanation, Robin. Just don't break my ship and I won't launch you into the cold vaccum of outer flarkin' space... ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [Bubble 3]: Right...
Panel 5: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. A few seconds later, Ms. Cartwright returns her gaze back to the good Doctor. Her body returning to the same type of looseness that we saw briefly at the top of the page, ready for whatever's coming her way next.
ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [Cont. to Dr. Arxin, ready]: So...what's next, Doc?
Page 18, 4 Panels- Holodeck, the Boo-Ya!
Panel 1-4: A four-part set of panels, each taking up 1/4 of the page, which showcase a larger fight montage in the area of Robin as she learns different features of the Arm-or (long sword in Panel 1, claws in Panel 2, force field in Panel 3, and an armored plating in Panel 4) against different mechanized opponents over the course of a half-horut. Her fighting style gets incrementally better with each passing panel, though not to the point that she's a master by any means.
ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [Off-Panel caption, Panel 4]: Holy hell, that...
