The Boo-Ya!, Season 2- Issue 8: Part 3.2

Page 15

15.1: A two-part set of panels that follows the young woman a short time later, fiddling through every dial on the console in the hopes that it would key into Capaldi’s signal. You can see the determination from the end of Page 14 fade away and be replaced by fear and the first signs of energy drain.

ROBIN (thought bubble) C’mon…c’mon! You’ve been as close a friend as I’ve had since leaving Earth–next to Stahl, obviously. No way I’m starting back on square 1 with you, dudo. We’ve still gotta finish up those…“stress relieving” holovids we were building, especially the one with Haley Atwell and Haley Kiyoko…

15.2: Her train of thought is interrupted briefly in the second part by the sound of music playing through the earpiece she’s wearing at the moment.

15.3: Action shot of the young human woman taking a few steps from the station, looking at the screen with a renewed sense of hope in her eyes. You can also see Mz. Jerniev at the captain’s chair in the lower right corner, with a more confused look on zer face.

LADY JERNIEV

What in the hells is that?

ROBIN

No idea. Looks a bit like Sign Language…mixed with some kind of music.

LADY JERNIEV (Bubble 2) You know what he’s trying to saying?

ROBIN (Bubble 2) Again, no bloody idea. Not terribly important deciphering it right now…

15.4: Cut to a shot of Capaldi’s crackly image, dancing amongst the rubble of what was formerly the pop-up satellite floating in every direction in the background.

ROBIN (Cont., Caption) Bottom line- he’s alive…and we’re about to end this bitch!

(Pointing at Musical Notes Above Capaldi’s Dancing) Tune of the Classic Dance Track “Noodelbuggel” by MoomerZinnter, which sounds like “Alien Superstar” by Beyonce if submerged in a water tank and with a 4/4 beat of symphonic chainsaws

15.5: After our protagonists leave the scene a short time later, we see a wide image of the destroyed satellite left for the interpretation of different eyes through the conflict…

15.6: …whether it’s the cheering soldiers from the resistance of O’Julana, excited and energized with cultural pride and the joyful hope of a return to normalcy.

15.7: …or from those observing from the Intelligence section at MoD back on the Capitol, despondent and drained and fearful over what’s about to come next.

16.1: Close-up on a pair of Managers observing the unfortunate breaking news, both simultaneously raising their four arms in the air in a game of “Not It!” The one on the left has all 4 up, while the right misses with 3 arms and its third just halfway up.

MANAGER #1

(the Left One) Not it!

MANAGER #2

(the Right One) Not i–!

16.2: Same setting/layout as the previous panel, a few moments later. Manager #2 glances skyward in frustration and no sheer amount of dread over what’ll come next.

MANAGER #2 (screaming) SON OF A GLONTEAN [EXPLETIVE REDACTED]!

MANAGER #1

(reassuring) I’ve got a few bottles of the fancy Sparkl’Fa-Ale from my last leave on VX-9, if you need a little…confidence booster.

MANAGER #2 (Bubble 2) HA…! Happy to take a swig of it, cheers!

16.3: Cut to a shot of the Vice Chancellor’s office shortly after said Manager gives the bad news to the veteran politician. All seems well and peaceful at the start of things.

MANAGER #2

(Cont., Caption)

I’m gonna need more than a little flarking booster though, to deal with that–

16.4: Then, suddenly, there’s screaming and commotion and a great deal of fire and brimstone coming from inside the office. And from all of that…

16.5: …is the Manager’s bloodied and thoroughly dead body being dragged out of the office as if it were a stray bit of garbage.

16.6: Cut to the final destination of the formerly living military underling a short time later- a chute that leads to an incinerator pit in the bowels of the Parliament building.

T’H-INA (Caption)

I suspect that will signal the end of your arrangement with Zx. Str’less, at least for the near future…

VICE CHANCELLOR BRUNNYA (Caption)

Quite aware of that flarking fact- thank you, T!
