The Community, Issue 11: Part 3.1

Page 270 Panel 1: Cut to a shot of the sprawling Louisville skyline a short time later; a series of emotional tethers emerging from street level and from within buildings, millions of them to be exact.

"Each person's emotional signature registers as unique musical notes stemming from tethers above their head. It also pops up in a visual sense to spot what someone's thinking, but it's rare at this distance."

(Winnie)

"What about one-on-one?"

"I tried it once, as an experiment, awhile ago. I was so drained that I slept in my dorm for a good week, so...not an option."

Panel 2: A two-part set of panels that shifts back to Ms. Borah on street level a short time later, hopping back onto the sidewalk after traversing through a crosswalk.

JESMINDER

(Cont.) Now, I know we're gunning for a lone wolf, "let everything burn" type. Which makes it a bit easier to sift through the junk and get to the--

Panel 3: In the second part, smack dab in the middle of her thought, Jes is struck with what appears to be a sizable migraine right in the middle of her forehead.

Panel 4: We widen out slightly to find Ms. Letesha alongside her friend, carefully examining her as the young/old woman recovers from the headache, though still suffering its effects.

WINNIE

(inquiring) Did you find them?

JESMINDER

(nods, pained) Definitely. It's like a...symphony of car horns going off in the back of my head.

WINNIE

(Bubble 2) Where are they?

JESMINDER

(Bubble 2) Northern part of the city...the Boys & Girls Club.

Panel 5: Slight close-up on Winnie a moment later, tilting her head in a level of confusion as her friend regains some level of balance.

WINNIE

A possible terrorist is staying at a Boys & Girls Club.

JESMINDER

(Off-Panel) Or possibly working there.

WINNIE

(Bubble 2) Both surprising, and not so much here.

Panel 6: Action shot of Jes a few moments later, performing some type of intricate patterns with the fingers of her left hand over her open right palm.

JESMINDER

Agreed. We're gonna need something to decipher where this person, or persons, lie on that spectrum of shit...

Panel 1: Same setting/layout as the last panel of the previous page. We see the results of Jes' work in that panel- a golden compass with a needle pointing in that aforementioned northern area.

Panel 2: Action shot of the young/old woman moving again on the sidewalk, with Winnie alongside her. You can see her focus split between the compass and the crowd in front of her as she speaks.

JESMINDER

(Cont.) The brighter the needle glows, the closer we know we are to the target.

WINNIE

(witty, to Jesminder) Streaming bullets would be a pretty good signal as well.

JESMINDER

(Bubble 2) True. Though with a lesser chance at surviving.

WINNIE

(Bubble 2) Yeah...

Panel 3: Slight close-up on Ms. Letesha as she follows her friend along. You can see her curiosity shift toward another point that comes to mind.

WINNIE

(Cont.) What's the latest on Nuevo Roma, the expose stuff to take down Walsh?

Panel 4: Cut to a shot of Seanna, Celia and Amelia at a little diner a little while later for a quick bite to eat. They appear to be in the middle of a discussion as they eat.

"Celia should be filling Seanna in on what we discussed before I left."

Panel 5: We shift to a close-up on Watkins at the end of their explanation, still processing it all as they speak.

SEANNA

(to Celia and Amelia, uneasy) ...You want me to what?
