The Community, Issue 8: Part 3.2

Page 196 Panel 1: A two-part set of panels that moves back on Jesminder standing a few feet in front of her. In the first part, she chuckles with a measure of disbelief at the statement.

JESMINDER

(scoffs, to Winnie) She's a hacker. What possible danger could women like us have to.

Panel 2: In the second part, a beat later, she senses through her empathic powers the actual meaning of Ms. Letesha's statement. She lets out a sigh of dread connected to it.

JESMINDER

(Cont., dread) Ah. Crap...nevermind.

Panel 3: Sitting in a cafe in the northern part of Rio de Janeiro next to a mid-sized apartment building, we're introduced to YO-YO- the oft-mentioned hacker and Celia's friend. She's drinking a cup of tea, reading some news on a tablet.

Few Days Later

Panel 4: Slight close-up on the woman with silver hair; a little glint from her nose and ear piercing. She looks up from the screen upon a sudden "WHOOSH!" from the left of the panel view.

YO-YO

(to Winnie, impressed; translated from Portuguese) Barely felt the breeze. Didn't think speedsters had that type of capability...The Flash was right!

WINNIE

(Off-Panel, translated from Portuguese) Protective bubble that comes with the speed, I think.

Panel 5: Cut to a shot of Winnie on the sidewalk in front of her, walking toward the nearby chair as she talks. You can see Jesminder in the background, stumbling slightly with a queasy look on her face.

YO-YO

(Cont., Off-Panel) You speak Portuguese?

WINNIE

(to Yo-Yo, translated from Portuguese) As well as speed reading can get me.

YO-YO

(Cont., Off-Panel; Bubble 2) Interesting. Another thing I'm curious about: how do you keep your bones from liquifying, or catching on fire?

WINNIE

(explanatory, Bubble 2) Like I said before, protective bubble. There's probably a more detailed, physiological reason behind it. All I know is the power set's awesome...

Panel 6: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. A second later, we see Ms. Borah in the background puking onto a bit of sidewalk in front of her. The young South African glances behind her, acknowledging the moment as she finishes speaking.

WINNIE

(Cont., with a smirk) ...and my friends- even moreso!

Panel 1: Slight close-up on Jes, levitating the vomit from the ground into a little light brown ball; her words directed at Ms. Letesha.

JESMINDER

(curious, to Winnie) Where's Cee? I thought she was right behind us.

JESMINDER

(Bubble 2, to Celia; reacting to Panel 2, Bubble 1) No worries. Let's extend the speech bubble to Yo-Yo and get this show on the road.

Panel 2: Cut to a shot of the sidewalk again as Celia bamfs onto the scene officially; her face covered with sweat, which she dabs off the left side of her face.

CELIA

(apologetic, to Yo-Yo) Apologies there- had to do a little bit of cleaning back home.

Panel 3: Yo-Yo looks over at the group, piecing together a basic understanding of what they were saying. As she speaks, you can see her fingers quickly typing away on the keyboard of her tablet.

YO-YO

(to everyone) Right...let's get to work.

Panel 4: We move to a crane shot of the group seated all around the cafe table, watching as the woman examines the code flashing on her tablet screen.

Half-Hour Later

YO-YO

(thinking) This is...This is a work of art, albeit evil art.

Panel 5: We move to a ground level shot of Yo-Yo a few moments later, looking at Jes to address her next comment to with a bit of respectful wit tinged to truth.

JESMINDER

Can you crack it?

YO-YO

(scoffs, to Jesminder) Of course I can. Not as easy as you can get everyone here to understand one another with a wrist flick. But still...

Panel 6: Cut to a shot of the young/old woman a beat later, leaning toward the skilled hacker; her elbows on the edge of the metal table.

JESMINDER

(needs a little more, to Yo-Yo) I have every confidence in your abilities, Ms. Yo-Yo. Any type of backdoor you can install to get us inside to spy on them.

YO-YO

(Off-Panel) I got ya.
