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. That email contains links to the vouchers you need to download your copy of the PDF you requested.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check your spam folder. If you still can't find the email from DriveThruComics, let us know and we'll get the links you need.

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
Re-establish the scene: The girls still dangling from their tether, look on in astonishment as the space navy squad are swarmed with stinging bees. One bee breaks off from the swarm and starts meandering towards the girls.

SFX: Bzzzzzzzzz

Panel 2
Two-shot of Fiorella and Doris, looking a little horrified.

Doris: Killer bees.

Buzz 2 (OP): Not really ...

Panel 3
One of the Bees, Buzz2, hovers in front of the girls

Buzz2: They have been injected with a modified form of curari.

Buzz2: They can still breath, blink and so forth, but they will have no control over their voluntary nervous systems for a couple of hours.


Panel 4
The girls and Buzz 2. The girls are looking at each other with expressions of schadenfreude.

Buzz 2: As the curari wears off, they will experience some discomfort as they regain the use of their muscles.



Panel 5
The girls and Buzz 2. Now the girls are looking curiously at their intercessor.

Fiorella: Uh, are you Buzz?

Buzz 2: Yes and No.

Buzz 2: We are AIs that exist within a swarm network. It is a holographic system that retains the actions and responses of all its member elements.

Panel 6
Medium closeup on Buzz 2.

Buzz 2: So now that your original Buzz has been destroyed, this unit has taken its place.

Panel 7
Two-shot of the girls, now looking relieved to the point of giddiness.
Fiorella (singing): Meet the new Buzz. Same as the old Buzz.
Doris: Won't get fooled again!

Panel 8
The girls hug each other and fall into fits of hysterical laughter.
Fiorella and Doris (in unison): Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
