Daylight Saving, Issue 1: Part 1.2

Page 3

Panel 1: Brie's ears perk up at the development; their face flashing a level of excitement and joy that hadn't been on display in the back half of the previous page.

BRIE

(wanting to know more, to Millie) How'd you find one in the Bazaar? I'm always too late to find one, or have to wait for the Merts to wrap another supply run top side.

BRIE

(Bubble 2; reacting to Panel 2, Bubble 1) Fair enough. Old politicos from the Wasted Age would fall by your cheesecakes. So, where is it?

Panel 2: Millie casually shrugs with a boastful smile on her face, gently tossing the clunky cube shaped mechanical part in the air as she speaks.

MILLIE

Well, to be fair bud, negotiating hasn't been a strong suit of yours. Also didn't hurt I had an ex who works at the MRT, and happens to like my vegan cherry chocolate cheesecakes.

Panel 3: Brie reaches out to grab the part a few moments later, but is just out of their grasp as Millie pulls it back.

MILLIE

(Off-Panel) Not so fast, my eager compadre...!

Panel 4: Cut to a close-up of Millie's face in a similar emotional mindset as Panel 2, finishing off the rest of her statement with the offer.

MILLIE

(Cont.) There's one thing I need you to do before I give this to you.

Panel 5: Mx. Benoit is agreeing for the most part about what they view will be the offer, though not without a degree of unease around the same thing.

BRIE

Cool. I'll be happy to do anything, unless it's...

Panel 6: Later that night, in Millie's apartment, we see the young person finishing the upgrade on Millie's robomour (currently in the off position) on a table. You can see the unease fully on display through every inch of their body as they work.

BRIE

(thought bubble)

...Forgot about the Robomour!

Page 4

Panel 1: They finish the repairs on the now standing robomour a short time later, latching the door to the control area and wiping some sweat as they move alongside the mechanical humanoid.

BRIE

(somewhat certain) Okay. That should do the trick. Now, what was the reboot code again?

Panel 2: Brie stands alongside a few moments later; the respective code from before popping strictly to mind.

BRIE

(Cont.) Oh yeah- "Swoon!"

Panel 3: The robomour suddenly perks to life, catching the young person off-guard and sparking a whole flurry of anxious butterflies in the process.

ROBOMOUR

(romantically) Oh my sweet strawberry shortcake...!

BRIE

Oh hells!

Panel 4: He grabs and dips Mx. Benoit in a romantic pose a beat later before they could get a word in edgewise; his mechanical head leaning in for a kiss.

BRIE

(Cont., protesting) G--Get the...Get the flerg off...

Panel 5: Action shot moments later showing them swiftly kicking the mecha with as much power as they can muster in his metal crotch.
