BMA115 drawing, comic, story writing, 8 July

I'm resisting writing my comic book.  I've been off from school for  12 days and the new semester starts in four days.  I've written an opening scene, pinned nearly a thousand pins on pinterest.com under the umbrella of "research" for stop motion, and that is all. The pencil sketches are due two weeks after we get back!  So clearly, the futzing around has to stop.  Extremely helpful in my writing for storyboarding was Blake Snyder's book "Save the Cat!"  I've pulled out his story beat sheet and have filled it in with the story I've got so far.      
 Logline: 

Story Beat Sheet by Blake Snyder

1.  Opening image:  Tempus Agent M. M. Macintosh has pushed herself to the edge of her 21^st century time limit in a self-indulgent attempt to watch the sun rise on a fourth century. 

2.  Theme stated:  The Time Window that allowed her to enter 2099 has shut and the automaton systems that have extended her life will go into torpor unless she makes it to the Window that will be opening over the North Pole. 

3.  Set-up: While debating how to get overland in time, her Geo-chronometer registers readings that indicate the presence of someone who has an unusually high number of latitudinal and longitudinal incursion markers in their bloodstream.   Her readings lead her to the freshly dead body that is the source of the irregular incursion energy signatures.  She uses the last of the power in her short term time jump circuits to circle back 20 minutes.

4.  Catalyst:   The now live body belongs to F. Scott McMurdo, who is attempting to illegally enter the Federated Scandi-EuroZone for the 5^th time.  

(image: F. Scott McMurdo dressed like Rick at the Cafe Americain' in "Casablanca".   He has a blindfold and cigarette dangling from his lips.  A bright light is trained on him and as a shadowy figure sorts through papers on a desk. )
 
5.  Debate:   While negotiating with McMurdo, the two are intercepted by the Robotic Border Security Patrol that did, and still might, execute him.   

6.  Act Two Plot Point:  When challenged, she gives blood for identification purposes and the automaton systems in her blood disable the Security Robots.  Tempus Agent convinces McMurdo to come with her by proving that the FUSEZ is actually empty- the people have been killed off by a variety of automated systems and starvation.  Refugees like McMurdo keep coming because the “Join us in FUSEZ” ad/propaganda campaign is also automated.

7.  B Story:   McMurdo could help prevent this tragedy, if he comes and works with her for The Agency, a shadowy organization tasked with subtly influencing world events with careful “asset placement” (DNA and babies) through Epochs and Empires.  Macintosh can travel through the 19^th, 20^th and 21^st centuries but she can’t travel outside of where she’s physically been without a Geo-Ambulator, somebody who’s crossed all latitude and longitudinal lines. 

8.  Fun and Games:  She takes McMurdo to the Chrono Hub for his time-travel shots (bio-automaton systems and Vitamin D) and to meet the Boss, Section Chief William S. Pearce. 

9.  Midpoint:   then treks with him through her homeland towards the North Pole.

10.  Bad Guys Close In:   

11.  All is Lost: 

12.  Dark Night of the Soul:
13.  Act Three Plot Point:
14.  Finale: 
15.  Final Image:

I'm going to drop any discussion or exploration of the DNA/babies aspect of the Time Agency.  I think  I'll simplify things by just hinting or saying that they're working to save humanity without going into any details.  Which means I need to think about the theme, or point, of the story.
