Golden Gate Comic Con, Chapter 8: Pages 9-10
PAGE 9
PANEL 1: We move to an action shot of Ms. McKinney stepping out of the bathroom after her shower; the towel wrapped around her body, and her hair a stylized set of wet curls. In the background is a shot of the CAT which is tuned to a non-descript news channel which is currently on mute at this point in time. Out of panel view, you can hear a gentle "TAP!" on the window.
CAPTION: Thirteen Minutes Later
PANEL 2: Cut to a few moments later showing Michele opening the window to find the delivery drone for "Food! Food! Food!" hovering directly in front of the opened window; a hard plastic box is seen on top of a steel tray in front of the drone, which the young woman in the panel is reaching with both hands for.
DRONE [to Michele, robotically]: The 8 Pats, 50 have been taken from your card- enjoy!
PANEL 3-4: We move to a shot in Panel 3 of the young woman a few beats later grabbing the box with both hands and gently acknowledging the robot's commands. At first, she ignores the cat call from someone gazing up at her via ground level. Then in Panel 4, she glances down at the leering stranger with a mocking tone in her voice.
LEERING STRANGER [Off-Panel, to Michele; Panel 3]: Woo--Good morning to me, sweetcheeks! MICHELE [snarkily, to the Leering Stranger; Panel 4]: Good morning to me, too. Didn't know there were guys who had a thing for drones...different strokes I guess. LEERING STRANGER [stammering, Off-Panel; Panel 4]: Wh--I... MICHELE [Panel 4, Bubble 2]: Bit of advice? Watch out for the propellers when you're jamming it in its port. Judging from what I'm seeing though...I don't think that'll be a problem.
PANEL 5: Cut to a shot of Ms. McKinney a few moments later, chuckling hysterically over the sound of the drone flying off and back to HQ for the next delivery; the box is firmly gripped in her hands at both ends, with plastic transparent silverware emanating from the top of the box. As she walks, you can see the window in mid-movement moments before it's about to close.
LIL' JARVIS [from the comm, to Michele]: Nice comeback, but aren't you a little bit concerned that he might retaliate? MICHELE [unphased, to Lil' Jarvis]: Not in the slightest. He'll be too lost in schlong-sized paranoia to go on some revenge mission against me. LIL' JARVIS [Bubble 2]: Fair point. Many of the male fleshies are less likely to be reckless if they're threatened by penile harm. MICHELE [Bubble 2]: Besides, even if he wanted to...there's no way he's going through Mr. Carson.

PANEL 1: Action shot of Michele placing the box of food a short time later on the edge of the bed; her other hand reaching out for something out of view to the left of the panel. You can see a little bit of the room's carpeting in the corner of the background, along with a little bit of the small refrigerator.
MICHELE [to CAT]: CAT, tune to whichever channel HBO East is on. And call up Jennie in...roughly 5 minutes or so to set up another date before I split back to London. LIL' JARVIS [from the comm, to Michele]: Didn't Mr. Carson get quite cross with you last year when you spilled the caramel on your bed after last year's Con? MICHELE [scoffs, to Lil' Jarvis; Bubble 2]: You don't have to worry about that CGAI weirdo. 'Cause this time, thanks to Nina, I've got a way to sidestep around any potential mess.
PANEL 2-3: A two-part set of panels that focuses on the end table a short time later. In Panel 2, she opens up the top drawer just below the table top; her back to the reader at this point. Then in Panel 3, the young woman pulls out one of the gravity disks that has a similar design to what Nina used for her Doopool cosplay, albeit in a tray form.
LIL' JARVIS [Off-Panel, Panel 2]: Speaking of Miss Nina, you have intentions of going out with her as well before leaving? MICHELE [pondering, Panel 2]: I think so, yeah. She's smart and cute, funny to no end- definite primary potential alongside Jen. LIL' JARVIS [Panel 2, Bubble 2]: That's big! I'm happy for you. LIL' JARVIS [concerned, Panel 3]: Umm, are you sure you want to put that on while you eat? MICHELE [shrugs, Panel 3]: It'll be fine, buddy. I can just use that Tide Quick Spray on any stains, and...sanitary wipes. With my meat hand, obviously.
PANEL 4: A few beats later, she presses a button and flings the tray out in front of her like a discus; her focus already turning to the box of food just before going to grab it. In the background of the shot, you can see Ryan Reynolds and Jack Black in what appears to be a comedy set in the Trump Administration.
MICHELE [Cont.]: So, what's left on the schedule for today? I can't remember what I put in there. I know Closing Day's usually a bit sucky, but...
INT. COLLECTIBLES AREA- Afternoon
PANEL 5: Cut to a close-up of a checklist written on paper in Adam's handwriting. It lists out a few big events from the third day that stood out to him, including "Get a Bloody Autograph!" and the Avengers 4 anniversary screening at the bottom of the page which will take a little later on that evening. There's also a note in the corner of it that reads simply, "Hug a Dalek, and sing something Motown."
MICHELE [caption]: There's gotta be something cool. ADAM [Off-Panel thought bubble]: All this time, and I never got an autograph from somebody famous?
PANEL 6: We move to a standing shot of Mr. de Connick in the middle of the collectibles area a second area. He's dressed in the third outfit, and the only one that survived the time jump from 2018- Ferb Flynn, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The young man looks around in search of the individual autograph booths nearby.
ADAM [Cont., thought bubble]: That's definitely the goal for me today- to rectify that.
