Golden Gate Comic Con, Chapter 1: Pages 19-20
PAGE 19
PANEL 1: Cut back inside the plane to a shot of Adam at his seat doing the same thing that we saw him do back in Page 16. He looks up from the tablet's screen, reacting to the stability of the plane and the light.
ADAM [thought bubble]: Okay, that was...weird!
PANEL 2: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. After a few beats of thought, the young man's eyes return to the iPad to watch the remainder of the movie on it.
ADAM [Cont. thought bubble]: Maybe I can ask the pilot once we touchdown.
PANEL 3-4: A two-part set of panels that moves to a shot of the walkway to the ship in the same section where Mr. de Connick is seated. In Panel 3, coming from the back toward the reader on a set of rolling wheels, we see a mechanical flight attendant with a wide base and a skinny, somewhat skeletal in design upper torso. The robot stops in Panel 4, turning its ovular head to the right effortlessly.
ADAM [Off-Panel thought bubble, Panel 4]: Or the flight attendant- works too!
PANEL 5-6: Cut to a side shot of Adam a split second after the mechanical flight attendant arrives, watching the movie. At first, he doesn't seem to notice the metal worker's arrival until it speaks; the results of which is visible in Panel 6.
OOD [Off-Panel, robotically; Panel 5]: Re-fresh-ment??... ADAM [looks at it, startled; Panel 6]: GAHHH! ADAM [thought bubble, Panel 6]: What the...?!
PAGE 20
PANEL 1: We move to a shot of the Ood standing in the same position relative to the seat that we had seen at the end of the previous page. The robot tilts its metal pill-shaped head toward the young man, flashing a set of red eyes in his direction in a quick body scan as it speaks.
OOD [calm, to Adam]: Your heartrate appears to have been elevated just now. Shall I get you a refreshing chamomille tea? Or a decaf coffee?
PANEL 2-3: A two-part set of panels that moves back to a close-up of Adam's face a split second later. In Panel 2, he shakes his head vigorously at the question, trying to get his bearings to answer which he does in the next panel.
ADAM [to Ood, Panel 2]: No, no...I'm good. ADAM [thought bubble, Panel 3]: Did I just m--miss something here, or? ADAM [Cont. speaking with a reassuring/staged smile, Panel 3]: Thank you, umm...
PANEL 4: Back to the Ood bot in the same setting/layout as the page's first panel; the head has been tilted back to its natural position in advanced preparation to resume its movement to the next customer.
OOD: Ood. My designate name is--Ood. If you change your mind in any way prior to landing, press the button on the ceiling and either I or one of the other onboard PCC units will be happy to assist you.
PANEL 5: Cut back to a visibly puzzled Mr. de Connick gently nodding at the request, watching as the robot has already turned away to the next passenger it cares for. In the background, you can hear a single "BING!" filtering in from the top off-panel center area of the panel.
ADAM: Alright. Thank you! ADAM [thought bubble]: Were--Were these little Ood things always onboard?
