Council of NY – 8

Council of NY – 8 published on No Comments on Council of NY – 8

Wide shot of the Council chamber in chaos. A flashing red screen behind them now reads: “NY SYSTEM: UNDER REVIEW.” Some NYs are being escorted out by robotic bailiffs with tiny gavels for hands.
ROBOTIC BAILIFF: “Your lunch stipend has been revoked.”
PILOT NY (shouting): “You can’t just… gavel me!!”

Panel 2

IVY opens a dusty emergency cabinet labeled “In Case of Goose Coup.” Inside: an old flip phone, a whistle, and a sealed envelope marked “ORIGINAL NY.”
IVY (grim): “It’s time.”
EXI (eyes wide): “You’re really going to summon him?”

Panel 3

GOOTS watches from above on a catwalk, sipping another juice box, clipboard in wing.
GOOTS (muttering): “Some of them were decent… but none were great.”
A shadow begins to stretch behind them.

Panel 4

Cut to a silent scene: ISEN has stepped into the room, standing at full height, shrouded in shadow, eyes glowing faintly. One bottle of Corgi Gin dangles from each hand.
CAPTION: “Meanwhile, something older stirs…”

Panel 5

A button is pressed on the flip phone. A low hum begins. A screen lights up with a pixelated logo: “INITIATING: ORIGIN PROTOCOL.”
SAUL (from hallway, yelling): “Wait, we’re calling the original NY?! Like the… proto-NY?!”
EXI (serious now): “Yeah. The one who had a job before jobs were invented.”

Panel 6

Final panel shows a distant cosmic landscape. A great door carved in stone begins to creak open, light pouring out. A figure in shadow—taller, older, more terrifyingly stable—stands just beyond it.
CAPTION: “He awakens.”
