The Boo-Ya!, Season 2- Issue 3: Part 4.3

Page 23

23.1: Cut to a shot of the doorway at the same time as the end of the previous page, showing a palace guard- dressed in military regalia- addressing everyone in the room.

NESSA

(Cont., Caption) It’s not like we don’t have a shite-ton of other biz to worry about right now.

PALACE GUARD

If you may follow me, ladies and enby.

23.2: We move to a shot of the three respective monarchs on their respective thrones moments later, seated and addressing the group after they’ve arrived.

PALACE GUARD

(Cont., Caption) The assembled stars of the Trinary have made their decision.

QUIYEN FALLS

We have gauged your information to be legitimate, and sent it to the relevant authorities to help us to repel the invading TA forces.

QUALG GRAY

We have also decided to grant you and your crew room and protection here on O’Julana till the conflict ends. Personally, I hope we can utilize your unique experiences fighting the Alliance in the past. But given your respective legal reputations, it would be quite understood if you chose the protection of your crew and headed off for safer pastures.

23.3: Nessa and the Madam look at one another, silently exchanging a brief set of words as the Qualg finishes the rest of their statement.

QUALG GRAY

(Cont., Off-Panel)

Whatever the decision, you can find the Treasurer outside the hall and to your right. They’ll provide you an amount of ched that is quite respectful to the amount of work you’ve put in getting us…

23.4: A two-part set of panels that starts out with a continuance over the silent argument led by the good captain and her #1. You can see Robin glancing by with a quizzical look on her face. Finally…

23.5: …in the second part, there’s seemingly a silent agreement between the two of them over what to do next; Ms. Cartwright still showing the same level of puzzlement as the previous panel.

23.6: Close-up on the Madam a beat later, addressing the Quiyen after the brief patch of silence from the previous pair of panels.

MADAM Actually, if you wouldn’t mind, me and the crew would be more than happy to assist you guys to drive those jackboots off your planet. Not full-time as soldiers, of course, but in a freelancer type of…

QUIYEN FALLS

(interjecting, Off-Panel) I understand, Madam. We’re more than happy for any extra bodies to the cause.

24.1: Cut to Quiyen Falls a beat later, addressing the request with a respectful and appreciative nod.

QUIYEN FALLS

(Cont.)

In this case, after visiting the Treasurer, you can find Preveral R-Tem on the floor just above us to settle details there. I should warn you though, it will not be as easy as other adventures you may have had in the past.

24.2: A shot of the future showing the Boo-Ya! in a dogfight over top of a forest with a lighter TASF scramjet.

QUIYEN FALLS

(Cont., Caption) You will face the threat of death on a daily basis.

24.3: Another shot from the future shows Robin and the Madam moving through what appears to be some type of makeshift prison in another part of the planet.

QUIYEN FALLS (Cont., Caption) I suspect, in the datums and (gods forbid) monats to come, you all will see patches of darkness and evil that–

MADAM (Caption)

We all understand the risks that come with us, Quiyen Falls. All of us do.

24.4: Back to the Madam and Nessa who are already in a standing position to address the Quiyen; Robin and Staehlia, to the right of the panel view, just beginning to stand upward at the same time.

NESSA It’s not exactly that new for any of us. I mean, we’re fugitives from the “law” for flark’s sake. Facing a jail cell or certain death is just a day that ends in ‘y’ and/or ‘t’ for alla’us.

MADAM

Yeah. The choice is easy: helping peeps out is just what we do, ‘cause–

ROBIN

(enthusiastically)

We’re the motherflarking Boo-Ya!

24.5: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. The now fully standing crew look in Ms. Cartwright’s direction after a beat of silence, holding back a laugh that is mixed with humor and slight embarrassment at the cheesy line. You can see Kary’lx in the background holding a laughter that is steeped purely in humor.

MADAM Really? Really?!

ROBIN

(blushed cheeks)

I know…

NESSA

That was just…

STAEHLIA

I believe the term is “pure cheese.”

ROBIN (Bubble 2) I know! Still, couldn’t resist…

CAPALDI (4Meta Caption)

And I hope you won’t resist coming back here next time, for we come–TO WAR! …Yeah, that felt dirty to me too.
