The Strongest Force Alive, Part 3.3

Page 21 Panel 1: Orkun pulls back just before he would reply, realizing the fact that he doesn't have an answer to that question just yet.

ORKUN

(pondering, translated from German) I'm--I'm not sure, now that I think of it. Always open to any ideas though.

Panel 2: Reina chimes in a split second later with a degree of confidence in a plan compared to Mr. Herne.

REINA

(to Orkun and Fran, translated from German) I might have something...

Panel 3: We jump to a few days later, showing a crowd of a few dozen mechas and humans in a warehouse in the southern part of the city listening as Reina lays the plan out to them.

"Reina had engaged in multiple protest actions during her brief time in Ghent. That evening in February would be the first time she'd be taking on the role of General."

Panel 4: Close-up on Reina's face a split second later, highlighting an approximation of the plan placed on a whiteboard to the right.

"It was one that felt uncomfortable at first, but quickly became comfortable. A feeling I imagine many veterans of the War reading can empathize with."

Panel 5: Two halves of the same setting, jumping to the day of the action itself just outside of Victor's dealership. In the first half, you can see part of the group highlighted in their hiding spot at a restaurant and a general store.

February 20th, 1938

Panel 6: In the second half, we see a section of the map around a furniture store as well as a pair of bookstores. Like the other, waiting for the command to rush in.

(Narrator)

"As the nation was huddled in fear of the Nazi menace gobbling up their brothers and sisters on the continent, a group of locals and expats- mechas and humans- huddled with hope and a great deal of anxiety in their collective bosom in preparation for a courageous act of civil disobedience."

Panel 1: Meanwhile, in Orkun's airship, we see Fran and Orkun putting on a courageous face to mask a considerably higher level of anxiety.

(Cont., Narrator)

"A feeling also shared by the other members of the proverbial throuple."

ORKUN

(looking at the viewscreen from the wheel, to Fran; translated from German) We should be closing in on the lot in a few minutes. The Dyrvish loaded and ready, Fran?

FRAN

(nods at the left console, to Orkun; translated from German) Indeed it is, Ork.

Panel 2: Slight close-up on the mecha woman a few beats later, shifting her eyes toward the left side of the screen at a string of readings.

FRAN

(Cont.) There's a slight spike in wind coming from the east. But I don't suspect it'll impact its trajectory too terribly.

Panel 3: Back to Mr. Herne glancing over at Fran with a slight nod mixed with a nonchalant overall vibe connected to the statement.

ORKUN

Agreed. I'll shift it 6 degrees to the west though- in case we're wrong..

Panel 4: Cut to an exterior action shot of the airship a short time later drifting on the tweaked trajectory, now over the lot in question.

"On my mark..."

Panel 5: We move back to a shot of Orkun in the ship moments later, yelling out with a subtle "BEEP!" bellowing out in the background.

ORKUN

(Cont.) Now!

Panel 6: Action shot of the Dyrvish fired a few moments later from the bottom of the aircraft, rocketing down and toward the center of the panel view.
