The Boo-Ya!, Season 2- Issue 7: Part 2.2
Page 9
9.1: Slight close-up on the lower right section of the satellite, focused on one of the ships in question as it flies toward the loading bay that acts as its front entrance.
T’H-INA (Caption) The preferred terminology, according to their listing, is “multi-purpose employee organization.” But…pretty much, yeah.
MP BRUNNYA (Caption)
Not sure how helpful this meeting will end up being in the long run. I mean, Rhoklynn’s a flarking putz. But…don’t mercs usually just off peeps? Even he doesn’t–
T’H-INA (Caption 2)
It varies from group to group. Some are more readily evil, others are more morally gray. Zx. St’rless’ group, from what I’ve seen, stretches toward the latter. They offer a lot of different options according to their listing with the Business Consortium.
9.2: The ship enters the bay moments later, and makes its descent onto a barren part of the long metal and concrete flooring inside. You can see some of the support staff running around in the background.
T’H-INA (Cont., Caption)
Things like basic and advanced intimidation, for example. There’s also surveillance, PRO–
MP BRUNNYA (Caption)
“PRO?” T’H-INA (Caption 2) Personal relationship obliteration. A pretty popular option amongst the uber richy-rich and the paranoid…
9.3: Close-up on the ship a short time later; its doors opened, and we see Rdai walking down in her best formal outfit.
T’H-INA (Cont., Caption)
No real issue with giving it a basic look, xe’am, if I may say so. The consultation doesn’t cost a single ched- and discretion is uber tight.
9.4: Cut to her and Z’Nyiest meeting up near the edge of the loading bay, shaking hands with great love and cordiality that shows up as they speak.
MP BRUNNYA Zeen!
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS (grins) Radd…still looking as divine as childhood! Congrats on the Parliament gig, by the way. How’s it treating you so far?
MP BRUNNYA (Bubble 2)
Cheers. It’s been…fascinating, especially compared to the grand CoE back home.
9.5: They chuckled heartily at the casual statement; their smile a little bit wider compared to the previous panel.
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS I can imagine. On a note of honesty: How close have you gotten to torching the flarking hells outta the place?
9.6: We move back to MP Brunnya a few moments later, flashing a coy look on her face which is connected to the next statement that follows a brief pause between the previous panel and here.
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS (Cont., Off-Panel) That little squint in your nose tells me everything…! So, what can we do for ya?
MP BRUNNYA It’s about this putz holding back my first big bill before the Parliament. I don’t wanna off him, of course. But I was hoping you guys have a way to ensure he doesn’t…
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS (Off-Panel, Bubble 2) …wiggle out like politicos do. Gotcha.

10.1: Back to Zx. St’rless after a few moments of thought, leading their guest on a proverbial path toward their office.
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS (Cont.)
Let’s carve through the deets of your situation in my office, shall we?
10.2: In their office a short time later, we see a holographic chart that lays out all of the different options that their business offers such as intimidation and propaganda blitz and “subversive alternative facts.”
MP BRUNNYA (Off-Panel) Hmm…what’s that one, on the far left corner?
10.3: Cut to Rdai and Z’Nyiest standing a handful of steps away, looking at the particular option the politician highlighted in the previous panel.
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS
(leaning forward slightly to see it)
Oh, the Minty! We just introduced that roughly three jahrs ago. It stems from a plant called the Myntehnis that one of our techies found on a hike near Yoziem-9. You can slip it into someone’s tea or booze or even a twoturn sandwich, and they wouldn’t know a thing till it’s in their body.
10.4: Graphic of the person in question after ingesting the Minty, seemingly entranced and open to the suggestion of the other person standing to the right.
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS (Cont., Caption) After that, they’re basically your meat puppet. You could get ‘em to spill whatever deep dark secrets are inside or send ‘em strolling into an airlock and shot out into the cold hells of space (though we know that’s not an option for you). After the effects wear off, they have no knowledge of what hit him and you can utilize any deep dark secrets to mess with the dude and get them to do whatever you want out of them- or whoever else they blather on about.
10.5: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. MP Brunnya is intrigued by the explanation, seemingly close to the proverbial sale. You can see Zx. St’rless, however, countering with the necessary warning to her improved energy.
MP BRUNNYA Intriguing…!
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS
There are some potential side effects for whoever ingests it.
MP BRUNNYA (Bubble 2) Side effects?
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS (Bubble 2) Yeah. There’s gas, fever-3, damage to the right liver depending on the species, and…
10.6: Back to the same graphic from Panel 4, save for one difference- the entranced person’s head explodes in a colorful blur ala the first Kingsman movie.
MP BRUNNYA (Caption) Oh.
Z’NYIEST ST’RLESS (Caption) Yeah…the chances of it happening are roughly 1 in 1 million. But still gotta ask to keep outta legal troubles.
MP BRUNNYA (Caption 2) I get it…
