Okay, here we go! The double-sized climactic conclusion to "The Enemy of My Enemy..."! Gonna have lots of SPLASHES and DPS. Think EPIC. Think GALACTIC. Think, "Star Wars ain't got nothin' on us!" Now on w/ the show...

"The Enemy of My Enemy...Part III"

OPEN ON:

Note: Panels run vertical, long and narrow, giving us glimpses of the ravaged Homeworld.

Another Note: Cary--like we talked about over the phone, First Zone isn't as decimated as I originally depicted it in #2. Yes, the K'Lar have done a number on it, but I want it to look remotely salvageable. The K'Lar ground troops haven't had a chance to ravage this world completely. Thanks!

1 ESTABLISHING-SHOT of the ROYAL PALACE, or what's left of it. The landscape is decayed and ruined. Desolate. The degenerated husk of MICROTRON is CROPPED-OFF in the FG. Thousands of K'Lar scavenger "bugs" flitter about wingless, gobbling up anything organic. Their presence is like the presence of locusts, as is their purpose. I see them as very junior versions of the bearded space-slugs. Flying leaches about the size of a football (an American football, Cary) w/ "pus-sacks" to store their finds and convert it into raw bio-mass for the Main Body. Gross little suckers!

2 CUT TO an ESTABLISHING-SHOT of the BODY BANKS, or what's left of it. It looks remotely salvageable in the bleakness that surrounds it. Steam is rolling out of it as if its core is still active, which it is. Expo. Expo. Expo. The little K'Lar scavengers are flittering about everywhere.

3 CUT TO a WORM'S-EYE-VIEW looking up from the bleak, decaying horrorscape of FIRST ZONE. We see the degenerating forms of the once glistening spires of HW in the mid-ground. Looking further, we see the black hole in the protective shell of HW, bigger this issue. This hole is the focus of the panel. The scavengers are flitting across our view. Maybe a really fat one is obstructing our view somewhat, pus-sacks bloated.
