Golden Gate Comic Con, Chapter 6: Pages 9-10
PAGE 9
PANEL 1: Same setting as the last panel of the previous page; the layout changing slightly to feature the robot more prominently. The machine's right palm is pointed toward the ceiling, glowing with some type of powerful electrical shock that permeates precisely what the Starky-2 is talking about.
STARKY-2 [Cont., to Adam]: Quick warning- if you harrass or assault one of your female compatriots during the Con, either I or one of my friends will do this...
PANEL 2-3: A two-part set of panels that cuts to a shot of Adam's face watching the display take place over the course of a few seconds. In Panel 2, we see a fiery glow illuminate the young man's face, making it more whiter than it usually is. Then in Panel 3, he looks on with a mixture of anxiety about what just happened and an (already apparent) respect not to cross the security/courtesy robot.
STARKY-2 [Off-Panel; Panel 3]: Questions? ADAM [thought bubble, Panel 3]: Outside of the existential one of why someone thought giving a robot a goatee was a good idea... ADAM [shakes his head, to Starky-2; Panel 3]: ...Where's the Collectibles and Merchandise area?
PANEL 4: Back to the Starky-2 in the same setting and layout as Panel 1. With the same glowing right hand that we saw at that moment, it points behind toward an area a distance from where the two of them are standing. You can see a few people in the background crossing behind the robot, ignoring the scene a few feet from them.
STARKY-2: You must be referring to the Swag Market. It's in the main performance area where the basketball team usually plays.
INT. SWAG MARKET
PANEL 5: Cut to a ceiling shot looking out at the busy Swag Market of the Con, filled with a great deal of people at this point in time and growing with each minute as more people come in. Near the top of the panel view, you can see the row of tables where the celebrity autographs take place.
STARKY-2 [Cont. caption]: Just follow the big glowing signs up for about twenty feet, or a little over six meters if you follow the metric system...and you'll be fine.

PANEL 1: We move to a ground level shot of Michele, standing in front of a little booth of different Funko! POPs. She's holding one of the boxes, part of a line of products called FunGro!, examining it carefully. On the side to the reader, you can see in black lettering "PRINCE LOUIS OF CAMBRIDGE" with the Funko! logo to the left of it.
MICHELE [thinking]: Not sure what Jax would think about bringing a FunGro of the Little Prince back to the flat. He's not a fan of the Royals, but with the right clothing change...I think it could be a nice cheeky mascot for the channel.
PANEL 2: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. A few beats later, her eyes shift in the direction of someone calling to her off-panel. In the background, you can see a handful of other people walking by on their way to the other booths nearby or chatting with one another.
FAN GIRL [Off-Panel, to Michele]: Oh my God--it's FlyasShell!
PANEL 3: Cut to a shot of a Booth Babe named RENEE standing a few booths from where Ms. McKinney is standing, smiling ear to ear upon meeting her hero in the flesh; a Wall-E purse dangling from her shoulder. She's a tall girl with red-black hair and a pleasant face with the model-like body that the job demands. She also is sporting a metallic arm, a metal plate above her forehead and a pair of cybernetic eyes.
RENEE [Cont., fangirl squeal]: This is--I'm so honored! I'm your biggest fan...!
PANEL 4: Cut to a side action shot of the young woman moments later, standing to the left of the panel view in front of Michele (who is seen to the right of the panel view). She reaches into her purse in search of something as she speaks.
RENEE [Cont., at a quickened pace]: You're such an inspiration to nerdy MAwomen like me. The way you took down Brainiac a few years back on Injustice 2 with barely a 1/3 of health left- with Harley Quinn- absolutely genius! MICHELE [a little overwhelmed, to Renee]: Th--Thanks... RENEE [Bubble 2]: Renee Martinez.
PANEL 5: We move to a close-up on the woman's face and part of her shoulders, at least enough to show her a closed autograph book with an ePen attached to the top of it. You can see a little section of a few other booths behind her in the background, and the shadow of someone noticing Renee chatting with her hero.
RENEE [Cont., curious/giddy]: You mind signing this for me? I've never gotten an autograph from a big time Indie gamer MICHELE [Off-Panel]: Sure, sure... RENEE [Bubble 2]: Thanks...
PANEL 6-7: A two-part set of panels that moves back to a similarly framed shot of Michele signing the book in Panel 6 with the ePen in her left hand, while trying to answer Renee's question. Her answer is halted a few moments later in Panel 7 by the sound of a gruff voice emanating from the work area where Booth Babe Renee is working at. At this point, the FunGro doll is out of view off-panel right.
RENEE [Cont. Off-Panel curious, Panel 6]: How come you never made the jump to an eSports team? You're definitely good enough! MICHELE [with a sigh, Panel 6]: Got close once in the PGL, but the coach bounced me when he found out I was a MAman. Said, "Only flesh and blood are allowed in the League--not little Robohores.
RENEE [offended; Panel 6, Bubble 2]: Stupid prick! MICHELE [Panel 6, Bubble 2]: Agreed. But I've done alright, and personally...I kinda prefer broadcasting. Much less idiots and bloody D-nozzles to deal with... BOSS [Off-Panel yelling, Panel 7]: What the hell did I tell you about conversating, Mech Meat?!
