Poll 28 - Page 6 dialogue

12 - 16 June 2007

Instructions to voters were:

Here is the task given to the artists:

Here is the alpha art for page 6. The description of the action is as follows:

The ships reform the line. The crew look excited, expectant. The starter's pistol fires. Once more the ships surge forward. Pan back to the start line. Infinity is stationary. There is the sound of an ignition failing to catch.

We have three submitted dialogues for this page, plus I'm going to add the suggestion that we have no dialogue at all, since I think that might work too.


  1. 1 Jake: No problem at all. We did it once, we can do it again.
    2 Dazer: And what about our little, ahem, situation?
    2 Jake: We just outrun them.
    3 Dazer: Oh, good. For a moment I thought you didn't have a plan.
    5 [sound effect: letters start large and get small] EEEYEEEYEeeyeeeyeeeeee
    6 Jake: ...
    6 Jake: Well, that took care of the weapons locks.
    6 Dazer: You make engine failure sound so proactive.
    7 Jake: Well, you wanted a plan.
    7 Jimmers: Does the plan include loss of gravity?
    7 Jake: Uh, maybe...
  2. 1 Infinity: Here we go again. Hey, watch the exhaust, buddy!
    1 Ship in front: Bite me!
    1 Juggernaut: Two down, 72 to go...
    2 Daisy: Okay, that burned 1% of our fuel. Let's make the next one count!
    3 Daisy: Got the converters online, Jake?
    3 Jake: Check!
    3 Daisy: Okay, here goes...
    4
    5 Daisy (off): Nothing!
    5 Jake: Wait, you said online?
    6 Daisy: JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!
    6 [caption] In space, no one can hear you despair.
    7 Jimmers: Join our crew and see the galaxy, they said...
  3. 1 Jake: It's almost time again. Do you have that evasive course ready?
    2 Daisy: Yes.
    3 Jake: Think it'll work?
    3 Daisy: Avoiding 92 incoming streams of fire isn't easy.
    4 (below 'go') [SFX]: chs-chs-vvvvvvvff
    5 (back of Jake's head) [SFX]: chs-chs-vff
    6 Jake: Was that your plan? It worked.
    6 Daisy: No.
    6 [SFX]: chs-chs-chs-vvv
    6.5 (space between panels 6 and 7) Jimmers: Which button to close the chamber shield?
    6.5 Daisy and Jake: GREEN!
    7 Jimmers: Which colour is green, again?
  4. (No dialogue at all.)
