- We open on a rainy stormy night on Anarow, where a ship is landing in a busy port, high up in the city.
- Phren (future): You see a lot of awful things in this job.
- Phren (future): You’d think after a while you’d get used to it. And maybe some do.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- The ship lands
- Phren (future): I never did.
- Phren (future): But this was before all that.
- Phren (future): Me and my partner Yoselin were sent to investigate a murder on Anarow.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- The ramp opens.
- Phren and Yoselin get out.
- Phren (future): I was young, it was only my second mission. We had no idea what was coming.
- Pyre (ship): All right kids, we’re here! Have fun and don’t die!
- Phren: Thanks Pyre, be back soon.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Yoselin: Well Phren, new planet, fresh case. What’s our first move?
- Phren: That would be… to make contact with local law enforcement and get a situation report.
- Yoselin: Right.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Dusk: A Row of large wear house’s, the center one of which has crime tape all around it, and is swarming with officers.
- Info box: Lower west end, the scene of the crime.
- Wide shot of the interior of the wear house, with the murder victim at the middle of it all and our two Youn walking in.
- Officer 1, in a low voice, but it’s clear they can hear him: Oh great, the nanny droids are here to look over our shoulders.
- Officer 2: They should go back to the core where they belong.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Officer LyLee: Oh, You’re here!
- Officer LyLee: I’m officer LyLee. Welcome to Tain City.
- Phren: Officer’s Phren and Yoselin of the Youn sisterhood. (Phren and Lylee shake hands).
- Yoselin: Now, status report.
- Officer LyLee: This woman, MonsVa Cannata, was found dead this morning.
- Officer LyLee, leaning in close: We found documents on her indicating that she may be involved in a covert smuggling operation.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Yoselin: And you think it’s Event Horizon?
- Officer LyLee: We think so, yes.
- Phren, looking shocked: I thought they were just a myth.
- Yoselin: Oh, they’re real alright. High command has been trying to find them for years, but every time we get close, they slip away.
- Yoselin, looking hard at Officer LyLee: Who else knows?
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Officer LyLee: Just us three, and the chief.
- Yoselin: Good. Keep it that way.
- Phren: Did you find anything else?
- Officer LyLee: No, but the documents tell a pretty convincing story.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Phren: Do we have any of suspects?
- Officer LyLee: A few. Right now we’re pretty sure it’s one of the two gangs that claim this district.
- Officer LyLee: We now think Event Horizon has been supplying the city’s underworld with weapons, and that’s what the two groups were meeting about.
- Phren: But something obviously went wrong.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Yoselin, walking around thoughtfully: So they meet here, on neutral ground. But then they have a disagreement.
- Yoselin: Tempers flair, a fight breaks out, leaving the Horizons contact dead.
- Phren: We need to investigate the gangs, and this situation gives us enough evidence for a warrant.
- Officer LyLee: We can’t just walk in there though, they may not be as powerful as they were in the past, but they’re still heavily armed.
- Yoselin: You may not be able to, but it shouldn’t be a problem for two Youn.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Yoselin: Phren, get all the information we’ll need from Officer LyLee, I need to report to high command. Yoselin walks away from the group,
- Going behind a secluded corner.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Yoselin puts a hand up to one of her ears, which acts like an anti.
- Yoselin: Officer Yoselin calling commander Avus, come in commander.
- Avus: Confirmed Officer Yoselin. Status report.
- Yoselin: We’ve made contact with local law enforcement, and they’ve confirmed what we thought. This is the work of Event Horizon.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Avus: Finally, a lead. After all these years.
- Yoselin: I know. We’ve been chasing these slimeballs since we were cadets.
- Yoselin, looking back at Phren: I’m not sure about Phren though, she’s awfully green. And soft. Do you really think she can handle this.
- Avus: She was top of her class in the academy, I think she’ll do fine. With your guidance.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Yoselin: You know I hate babysitting the newbies, I would have preferred a more seasoned partner.
- Avus: You “babysat” me.
- Yoselin: That was different.
- Avus: Oh stop whining and show a little faith. I’m not asking you to train her, just help her practice what she already knows.
- Avus: Now get out there and kick some smuggler chassis!
- Yosein: Is that any way for the commander of her highness’s Youn sisterhood to talk?
- Avus: Oh shut up and get going.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- We now cut to looking at the front of a run down apartment building. Narration: We headed to the lair of the first gang, the West Side Sliders. Phren and Yoselin are walking towards the building.
- They come up to the front doors.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- Phren, knocks: Sliders! This is the Sisterhood of the Youn!
- and the door swings open.
- Phren and Yoselin look at each other.
- Phren: We have a warrant, we’re coming in! Stay where you are with your hands up!
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- The two Youn walk though a dilapidated foyer. Phren (future): You see a lot of awful things in this job.
- and though a dark, unkempt hallway.
- And Phren’s hand reaches for the far door. Phren (future): You’d think after a while you get used to it.
-
-
- Pg.
-
-
- A room full of grisly dead gang members. Phren (future): I never did.

Atypical Arts series cover
So if you’ve been here for the past few days then you know I’ve started doing journal comics. Well, I’ve decided to make them a weekly thing. Patrons will get the comics once a week on Mondays, and every one else will get them on Fridays. I’ll be posting them on...
My Diabetes Diagnoses – comic – part 2
Here’s the last page. This was a fun experiment. Look forward to more journaling comics in the future.
My Diabetes Diagnoses – comic – part 1
Recently I began drawing journal comics about my life as a neruodiverse and disabled creator. I’ve benefited greatly from similar comics, and so I want to share my own experiences. Expect the last two pages in the next few days.
