On Their Way....

This is a message for the IGG QV9 backers! For those of you who ordered physical perks, they are on their way via USPS. For those of you who selected one or more of the PDF perks, you should have received an email from DriveThruComics.com.

Signing and Shipping

Scott has finished autographing all the books, and we've started shipping them out. Your physical perks should show up in the next week or so (might be a bit longer for international shipments). We expect to send out vouchers (via email) to those who wanted the PDF e-books.

Once again, many thanks to our backers. Stand by for further updates.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Large panel. In the foreground, Buzz leads our girls into a large, hemispherical auditorium. Scores of people are hanging onto railings on the flat 'floor.' In the center of the floor is a sort of podium with a young, crisply-groomed woman speaking. She is flanked by a bank of projectors pointed at the domed ceiling.

Doris: Looks like a planetarium.

Buzz: It operates much the same way. This is the resort orientation.

Panel 2
Medium three-shot of Buzz and the girls, moving (Buzz flies, the girls use hand-rails) along the wall of the auditorium.

Buzz: However, I have been instructed to escort you directly to the Director's office for a private meeting. Please follow me.

Panel 3
Different angle. Buzz in foreground right, leading the way, the girls in the middle-ground left behind him.

Doris: Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Buzz: I'm sorry, Doris, I have not been informed as to the nature or purpose of the meeting.

Panel 4
Now, the girls are framed in a doorway. Buzz flies on through, but the girls pull back a bit in a mild fear reaction to what they're seeing.

Caption: Finally...

Voice (OP): Greetings, ladies.

Panel 5
Standing behind a desk is a very large Polynesian man with a heavily tattooed face. He smiles warmly. Arrayed in front of the desk are three zero-gravity seats.

Arana: I am Arana Awatere, the Director of this park and your host. Please come in and lock onto a seat.

Panel 6
Angled view from behind Arana. The girls remain in the doorway.

Doris: We were wondering, Mr. Awatere …

Arana: Arana, please. May I call you Doris and Fiorella?

Arana: Please come a little further into my office and I think your questions will be answered.

Panel 7
The girls cautiously move into the room. They look into a corner of the room that has not been seen previously, and there stands Reggie King.

Doris and Fiorella (in unison): Reggie!
