The Boo-Ya!, Season 2- Issue 3: Part 1.2

Page 3


3.1: Cut to Madam, Robin and Nessa a short time after landing, walking the last bit of distance toward Kayr’lx’s home; the sense of what they’re getting into not quite hitting either of them.


ROBIN

(stretching her neck, half grin; to herself)

Never knew till now how much I missed being on a planet without a big bloody helmet on!


NESSA

I’m surprised we kept Stahl on the ship for this. Don’t we kinda need them to explain the files to this Kayr’lx peep?


MADAM Not more than I need Stahl in their lab to piece as much info as flarking possible about Robby. Also, we don’t need to go too deep with zer. Zhe’s heard the speil from Theo. Zhe’ll be ready to get down to biz, and–


3.2: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. A holographic image of the O’Julianian appears in the middle of the sidewalk, halting our protagonists’ mid-stride; the WHIR of some type of unseen weapon going off-panel.


KAYR’LX

You have 60 segundos to prove you are a friend, or I’ll prove you a corpse.


MADAM

(diplomatic) Whoa, whoa, whoa…we’re all friends here.


3.3: Close-up on the good captain a beat later, further defusing the situation as best as she can; her gaze down at the weapon as it aims toward her and her crew.


MADAM (Cont.)

Name’s Madam, this is Nessa and Robin. We’re from the Boo-Ya!


KAYR’LX (Off-Panel)

I’ve heard of you guys before. Love the work…


MADAM (Bubble 2)

Thanks…Theodosia sent us here- said you were the womxn to see to get a meeting with your planet’s Majesty or whatever.


3.4: Cut to a shot of hologram Kayr’lx looking at the crew with xer weapon still aimed and on the edge of firing.


3.5: A two-part set of panels, taking place a few moments later. We see the O’Julianian womxn lift and press their weapon closer to the body, which eventually leads to…


3.6: …a screen developing from the base of the “weapon.” At this point, you can see the hologram’s face completely blur out as we see Kayr’lx’s proper face in the middle of the screen.


KAYR’LX

(correcting)

The proper term is “Your Firmest.” At least when it comes to Quiyen Falls, who’s the monarch in charge of receiving off-planet guests.

4.1: We jump a short time later to the group in Kayr’lx’s townhouse, listening as zhe explains the best path to addressing their problem.


KAYR’LX (Off-Panel) There are two ways you can get in to see Quiyen Falls. The first would be through the Brienstie, which is specified for O’Julanian citizenry. Obviously not a good path for you guys, not to mention the fact it…ended a monat and a halb ago. The second one is called the Tay-R’th. That one is open to any visitor to come before the Quiyen with sponsoring from a citizen “of good and high standing.”


MADAM Okay, I can dig that.


ROBIN

My gut- and a lifetime of sci-fi- is telling me the “but” attached to it is gonna suck.


4.2: Cut to Kayr’lx standing in the middle of the living room, finishing the rest of xer explanation a beat later.


KAYR’LX

I’m not sure what sci-fi is, hu-moon. But solid perception nonetheless. The Tay-R’th involves surviving a series of challenges that take place inside a metaphysical arena.


4.3: Over zer left shoulder, we see an image of some type of joust taking place using speeder bikes and energy spears.


KAYR’LX

(Cont., just below the panel)

There’s the challenge of Strength…


4.4: Above the womxn’s head, we see an image of a person standing before an elaborate and complex puzzle found on a concrete wall.


KAYR’LX

(Cont., just below the panel) The challenge of Mental Fortitude…


4.5.: And to zer right shoulder, we see the same person from the other two panels in what appears to be a meditative position over an open volcano.


KAYR’LX

(Cont., just below the panel)

And the challenge of Spiritual Fortitude. After that, you guys can speak to Her Firmest and the other members of the Triarchy, and show the invasion plans.


4.6: Cut to Robin and the Madam a few beats later, taking the information in with no shortage of trepidation.


ROBIN

Sounds…fun. And there isn’t a better, less pain-filled way to gain audience with her?


MADAM

She’s been through some…changes, both recently and overall.


ROBIN (Bubble 2) Yeah. A little bit of chill would be nice, alongside the adventure.


KAYR’LX

(Off-Panel)

Understandable. Unfortunately, those are the only options for ya…
