The Community, Issue 7: Part 3.2

Page 171 Panel 1: A two-part set of panels that focuses squarely on Ms. Gupta; the action as a whole taking place over the course of under a minute. As she looks around, you can hear a buzzing sound off-panel.

JESMINDER

(thought bubble) Ink? Why do I smell ink...?

Panel 2: In the second part, she finally acknowledges the sound glancing over at something that catches her eye. Her face scrunches up, worried by what she's seeing.

JESMINDER

(Cont., realization; thought bubble) Ah, dammm---

Panel 3: A short time later, the young/old woman joins up with Celia and Winnie at a secluded part of the ballroom floor.

JESMINDER

(Cont., to Celia)

--it! What's wrong? I was so close. All I needed was a few more minutes to get her to--

WINNIE

(interjecting, to Jesminder) You don't have a few more minutes!

JESMINDER

(Bubble 2, to Winnie) First off, who are you? And secondly, what are you talking about?

Panel 4: As Jes glances over at the other woman with a quizzical look on her face, you can see Celia's hand in the lower part of the panel view handing her the same pad she saw in the previous page.

CELIA

(Off-Panel, to Jesminder) She's right. Staying here's putting us in too much danger, even with your magic biz.

Panel 5: Cut to a shot of the drawing: a series of satellites stretched around the circumference of the planet, with an arrow pointed toward what looks like data servers and another arrow down to two words- "predictive alogrithms."

JESMINDER

(Off-Panel, to Winnie) When you say "predictive alogrithms," you mean...

Panel 6: We move to a shot of Celia a split second later, filling in the rest of Ms. Borah's fear with great certainty as well as dread.

CELIA

(interjecting) Real life "Westworld"...yep.

Panel 1: Her mind moving as fast as she can toward a solution to the problem, Jesminder turns her attention to both of them to guide what's next.

JESMINDER

(with urgency, to Winnie and Celia) Okay. First, I'll extend the Lingual Translation spell over to Zippie so she can understand Celia. Then we find a way to get the hell out of here undetected. Celia?​

Panel 2: With a knowing glance, Celia grabs the lightsaber with both hands; the energy from the device shooting out as she speaks.

CELIA

(to Jesminder) I'm on it!

Panel 3: At an electric pole nearby, we see Celia bamf back moments later, swinging her weapon hard on the wires; a flurry of white energy exploding from within.

Panel 4: Back inside the party, the lights are down as a result of the attack from the previous panel. You can see a "WHOOSH!" in the darkness, representing Jesminder and Winnie's escape.

Panel 5: Within the darkness, Fonte is on the phone with someone in a little noticed area. From the glow of the phone, you can see the veteran officer already locking into place.

FONTE

(to Mr. Costa) It's them- I'm certain of it...I'll bring my men to head them off at the gate.
