The Boo-Ya!, Season 2- Issue 4: Part 3.1

Page 13

13.1: She stops showering a few minutes later, leaning her right arm out to slide the glass door open as she speaks.

MADAM Comm, ring Madam. Or Staehlia’s if she’s not on.

13.2: Action shot a beat later of the young human woman stepping out of the shower; a big mesh towel from inside a bar in the doorway, which covers the “naughty bits” for the reader in a black rectangle.

ROBIN’S COMM (Off-Panel right)

No connection detected on either line- firewall.

ROBIN (puzzled) ‘Kay. A little weird, but not surprising this time of day. What about Ness, or Capaldi maybe? They usually have theirs on all the time…

ROBIN’S COMM (Bubble 2, Off-Panel right)

No connection detected on either line- firewall.

13.3: Ms. Cartwright ponders the development and what it might mean as she walks over toward her clothes; the section of black from the digital towel covering her chest to the reader. Meanwhile, a twister of anxiety starts forming in the pit of her stomach.

ROBIN

(thought bubble)

Yeah, I know gut…this is bad! Fortunately, I’m with the only person, outside the Boo-Ya! I wanna be fighting this.

13.4: We see her in the middle of Lady Jerniev’s office a short time after explaining her thoughts that percolated over the course of the previous two panels.

LADY JERNIEV

(Off-Panel) So, lemme get this straight…

13.5: Cut to Jerniev standing and pacing slightly to the left as she takes in the story Robin had laid out.

LADY JERNIEV (Cont.) You’re thinking an Alliance Army hit squad’s coming to attack us, based solely on a tech issue?

13.6: Robin looks on with a defensive tone, recognizing the branch she’s in while also trying to sell the point in question.

ROBIN I know it sounds bloody weird. But given all the crazy garbage the Alliance has for years both here and all over the galaxy. Hell, all that Beschuldigig nonsense they’ve done…

13.7: Back to Lady Jerniev; the setting similar to Panel 5, with a tighter look on her taking the response in a beat later.

ROBIN

(Cont., Off-Panel) …that’s gotta be worth checking out- even if it’s nothing.

14.1: After a few calls are made, we move to a shot of an O’J officer who works in the part of the satellite in charge of the satellite’s radar system (the Hi’Lyta) after hearing the request in question.

HI’LYTA OFFICER (seeking answers) They want us to do another Atyp Scan because of the hu-mahn woman’s personal comms?

CAPTAIN CAIN (from the comm) I know the rationale’s weird, soldier. I feel the same way…but that’s the call from the tippy top.

HI’LYTA OFFICER (Bubble 2)

I get that. But couldn’t they have just shoved this type of shite off to Tech and be done with it?

CAPTAIN CAIN

(Bubble 2)

They already did. They spotted nothing, and kicked it up to us to make sure it’s the real deal. Now, clam up and get to business.

HI’LYTA OFFICER (Bubble 3)

Yes, Y’im…!

14.2: The Officer hangs up and walks toward the assembly of staff xhe’s in charge of. You can see some of the junior officers in the corners of the panel, listening to the command.

HI’LYTA OFFICER (booming voice)

Commence Atyp Scan procedure, extend parameters by .50 krioone from normal.

14.3: Cut to one of the junior officers a few minutes later, looking over a personal display of the satellite’s exterior radar that has popped up which looks clean and green and normal.

JUNIOR OFFICER #1

Nord Sector- Clean.

14.4: Next to that officer, we see another one looking at a different section on their screen of the same overall radar picture.

JUNIOR OFFICER #2 Esero Sector- Clean

14.5: At the opposite end, we see the third junior officer looking over another part of the radar on their respective screen. Which seems, at first, to be as clean as the others…

JUNIOR OFFICER #3

Soerd Sector- Cle–

14.6: …when a dot suddenly appears in the upper right section of the screen, catching them by surprise.

JUNIOR OFFICER #3

(Cont.) –No, amend that. I just spotted something heading toward our auxiliary loading bay.

CAPTAIN CAIN (Off-Panel) What’s their SID?
