The Boo-Ya! #9: Page 21
Page 21, 6 Panels- Hallway/MP Aharons' Office, the Boo-Ya!/Capitol TA Parliament Building
Panel 1: Same setting/layout as the last panel of the previous page, along with the same degree of movement in the background. A few moments later, the Doc spies from her periphery her human friend off-panel the sense of dread that's still on her face. You can see a touch of empathy in her voice as she speaks.
DR. ARXIN [to Robin]: I know it's not the answer you wished for, but...it is the truth. I wouldn't worry about any endangerment to your life though.
Panel 2: Cut back to the same type of frontal shot of the two of them walking that we saw in the middle of the previous page. The good Doctor continues on her train of thought to the slightly receptive, though still apprehensive to a degree, Ms. Cartwright at that point.
DR. ARXIN [Cont.]: With the Arm-or on your wrist and with the type of friends (or at least those actively trying not to kill you) in your corner, I truly believe you'll have many rohtlas of living yet to have. ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [to Dr. Arxin]: And if your belief doesn't pan out? DR. ARXIN [Bubble 2]: Well...I can show you the med-sestra in charge of my NDT procedure.
Panel 3: Slight close-up on Robin a moment later. She glances over in An'x's direction and flashes for the first time a smile, albeit a tiny one. You can see in the background a little more of the hallway area as it nears the end of it.
DR. ARXIN [Cont., Off-Panel]: Probably get you a good price. ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [intrigued]: Thanks...I'll keep that in mind.
Panel 4: Cut to a three-dimensional screenshot emanating from a TAN Newsfeed of the explosion on Mientahl. There's no sign of sound from the news anchor telling what's happened, just a chryon below screeching "MASSACRE AT MIENTAHL- 6 CLAMPHERZ DEAD" to its satiated public.
ROBIN CARTWRIGHT [Off-Panel caption]: "It's nice to have the backup plan, however this whole thing may bloody end."
Panel 5: We move to a shot of the MP standing in front of his desk, watching the broadcast at that moment. His hands gripping the front edge of the countertop as he looks on with curiosity and a degree of annoyance at the end result. You can hear off-panel the door open and the sound of footsteps coming toward him.
XAMAELEON [Off-Panel, to MP Aharons]: Just got back...we're ready!
Panel 6: Close-up on Atom's face a second later. A sly, evil smile can be seen coming over his face as he hears the news from his top lieutenant. You can see a mixture of wall and a painting behind the desk in the background, albeit unrecognizable at this point.
MP ATOM AHARONS [to Xamaeleon]: Excellent...cue ignition of first trigger! CAPTION [at bottom of panel]: "Trigger 1 of 3- On"
