Uberheroes HQ...
This is
not good, need
to rally the
team!
Uber Alert!
Guys I need you
all online
immediately…
Good to
see you all…
I’m sure you know
what this is all
about?
The world
has gone into
Lockdown!
Schools,
non-essential
businesses and services
have closed until
further notice…
...With only
frontline key
workers continuing
to go to work.

Thank you for
joining us, Khwam –
I’m just explaining
the situation to the
others! are you
feeling okay?
yeah I’m okay
but my doctor has
told me that I need to
Self-Isolate due to the
Covid 19 directive for
vulnerable people. I’ll do
what I can but it
will be from home
unfortunately.
Yes, Best to stay
home and keep yourself,
and others, safe! Dominie,
Fortress and Vana are at
home sick too… So the
rest of us need to help
right away!
Veritas, I need
you and Oni to help
those who have been told
to self-isolate, as they are
not able to get out to buy
groceries or to collect
their medicines…
On it Q, we will
also make sure
our team are
okay too!
Invictus, I need you to
help everyone to understand
why we have been told to stay
home, stay safe & protect the NHS
and you will need to help them to
find new creative ways to be
active, stay positive
We all need to be
more resilient and connecting
with family and friends through
video-telephoneand apps, but the
best way they can keep well is
through helping others like
their neighbours, ensuring
they are okay!
sounds like a plan…
Leave it with me, Q as
I am more than happy to
get others involved to
help those most in need
in our local & wider
communities…
Hi, Guys!
Coroman and
Coronabot2020!
…and we have
others who will be
helping us out! I have
the pleasure of
introducing you
all to...
...Curador!
I Need you
to look at your
screens and you’ll
see who is behind
this pandemic….

It’s Like
extremely
dangerous!
The whole
world is effected by
this… they’re calling it a
pandemic! The last one
was a 100 years ago
when...
millions of
people died all over
the world from
Spanish Flu...
Whaaat….
Really, Mum is
this true?
No Sophie,
I don’t think it’s
true, they’re
teasing you!
Ignore them!
We’re in
lockdown, so we
help stop the virus
spreading. It’s just a
few weeks together,
without school or
work.
If everyone
does their part, then
the virus won’t be able
to spread so easily,
and will mean that
things can get back to
normal sooner.
Who are
you calling
a loser?
YOU ‘cause
you lost… Loser…
Loser… Loser…
Stop it! That’s
enough – no more
computer games, as
you just can’t
agree!
Don’t
worry…
And I’ll be
turning off the
internet too if you
won’t behave…
Goodness, it’s
only been a few
days and the
boredom is setting
in already!
But
everything
will be okay
Mum, won’t
it?
Who cares
anyway – I’m
bored of playing
PlayStation…
I do
hope so,
honey…

Hey
Sophie suds…
it’s time you
were asleep!
Aw why
what’s wrong,
Soph?
I just keep
thinking about
everything that
this coronavirus is
effecting, like
school…
That’s the problem,
Dad… I love school. I
haven’t seen my friends in
ages and now I don’t know
if I ever will. I didn’t even
get to say goodbye
properly.
I can’t
sleep Dad…
But Soph,
no-one’s going
to school because
of this
Lockdown.
Oh Soph, don’t
worry; you will
see your friends
when this is all
over!
But what
if that’s too
late??
I’m already missing
out on loads of stuff
that I was excited about.
Like my P7 class photo…
our end of term party and
signing each other’s
shirts…
it’s my last year
at Brookfield Primary
before I go to big
school and I don’t even
know if anyone is going
to be at the same school
as me. Daddy I just
wanted it to be
special!
Och darlin,
sometimes
life means that we
have to do things we
don’t want to do…
but think about it
this way…
just like your
Auntie Ann, we need
to do this to protect
her and others so that
we can get back to
normal sooner!
isn’t it better
to do this now so that
our behaviour helps the
Doctors and Nurses
who are trying to heal
many people of this
virus,
I’ve been
looking forward
to the final term
since I was
in P5!!
Will Auntie
Ann be safe? And
will everything
ever be back to
normal??
She will be fine,
remember some things
may change, and change
for the better, but you
don’t have to worry
about any of this!
Now try and
get some sleep...
it won’t help you to
feel better and more
positive if you’re not
sleeping…
they think
social-distancing
will kill me, but we
have plans to cause
more destruction
than they can
imagine!
Good night,
Sophie Suds.
Night, Dad…
love you
They can plan
and prepare all
they like… but I’m
just getting
started!

Sanso,
here boy!
Let’s get to
work helping
others in the
community!!
Thanks,
Guys!
Get well
soon,
Khwam!!
Here’s
some supplies,
Dominie!
Thanks,
Veritas!
Hope
this helps,
Vana!
Thank
you so
much.
You’re
Welcome,
Fortress!
Yes, the
supplies were
needed, thank
you!
Community Help Group
HARMONY
Can anyone provide spare food and
supplies for the Uberheroes to distribute?
Jake
We have some spare canned food and hand
sanitiser. We will leave it at the door for you to
collect.
Samantha
Plenty of spare toilet rolls …
Jenny
My sister and I would be happy to help!!

Some Personal
Protective Equipment
for you, this pandemic
means that hospitals, Care
Homes and Hospices need
all the PPE we can give
them…
Hi everyone,
please remember
to stay at least
two metres apart,
we need to
protect the NHS …
Social distancing
will help protect
us all!
People have been
amazingly generous;
they’ve organised online
additional help in
preparing and delivering
care packages across
the city.
Oh Curador,
thank you, we
desperately
needed these!!
Excellent
work, the more
help we can get
the better.
Maybe you could
help the keyworkers
to train the volunteers
so we can protect
everyone involved?
Will do,
Invictus!
Finished your
Homework,
Sophie?
Yes,
all done
now!
Hey suds –
I’ll be in in a minute,
but I still need to get
my outdoor clothes
off and leave them in
the garage so I don’t
bring anything bad
into the house…
DAD?!
Sophie, you
know we have to be
careful – Dad has to get
a shower before he can
touch anything or
anyone.
Mum’s right,
soph - we need
to keep us all
safe…
I know… but
I only wanted
a little hug,
Dad!

By taking all
these precautions,
Sophie, we will play
our part in helping to
stop the spread of
this virus
If we all do
what we can to try
to make sure we don’t make
even 1 other person ill, it
will be really hard forthe
virus to spread. It’s what
the experts call
the R rate.
Coroman is
using CoronaBot 2020
to spread this deadly
virus and plans to
enlist very possible
villain he can to cause
panic and fear.

Hurry up
Dad!!
I hate that
I can’t hug you
when you come
in from work.
Well you’ll
get plenty of
hugs now,
Suds!!
Coming
now!!
The number of infected people
has risen again today. People
have been asked again to stay
at home and to socially
distance when going out…
With all the measures taken it
looks like the lockdown is
helping decrease the spread
of the Virus and Lockdown
predicted to end in 2 weeks…
Dad, the TV says
it’s getting worse,
but the newspaper
and online says
the opposite…
Is it
getting
worse?
Don’t worry,
Sophie – remember
that’s why Dad gets
changed outside so we
can all stay safe so
there’s nothing for you
to worry about.
Are you
going to get
infected in work
and are we all going
to get ill too?
But who is
telling the
truth?
I’m really
scared as no one
seems to know
what is really
happening…
Good job,
guys!
it’s working!

Panel 1
We see an older man being wheeled on a Hospital bed, a mask on, through a hallway to
double doors with “High Dependency Unit” noted above where a nurse stands with a folder
about to open the door.
George:
Nurse:
Where am I… Cough Cough… going now?
Hello, George… come on through to the HD unit…
Panel 2
We see a long shot of the ward were there’s extra beds and a hive of activity going on with
the doctors and nurses (PPE), and in the beds we see people looking sick, the first one is
getting turned around onto their stomach, the next one along is someone on oxygen looking
very ill and then someone in the background Incubated, as George is pushed along in the
Hospital bed. We focus on a tender moment as the nurse (also in Full PPE) touches the back
of George’s hand.
George:
Nurse:
George:
Cough Cough
George, we’ve brought you to this ward, so we can look after you and
treat you for Covid-19
I’m scared…
Panel 3
The Nurse is conscious of George now being in place beside a doctor, looking up at him, but
our focus is on the nurse turning away
Nurse:
…you’re in good hands now… they’ll look after you!
Panel 4
We see the nurse in the mirror washing her hands as we see a little of the orange virus
washing down the sink from the cuff of her full apron. Sanitiser beside sink etc. We see the
nurse thinking to herself.
Nurse:
Always need to wash thoroughly as we can’t afford to take Covid out
of here.
Panel 5
Two nurses coming through double doors in scrubs (The PPE has been removed in the Anteroom).
We see that both nurses have the marks on their faces from the PPE face masks and
visors.

Other Nurse:
These 12 hour shifts are exhausting. We really need more
staff!!
Panel 6
Same scene but Beth is now walking away waving to the other Nurse.
Beth:
Well that’s me finished, I’m going to get out of these scrubs and get
showered, I’m so looking forward to soaking in the bath when I get
back to the hotel. Bye Tracy, keep safe.
PAGE 10
Panel 1
We see a clean hotel room, just out of the bath drying her hair and in dressing gown as she
picks up her tablet.
Beth:
I needed that bath so much. Now to call home…
Panel 2
We see her looking on to her tablet on a call to her husband and 2 young daughters who are
happy to see her as they hold up their artwork, a picture of a rainbow and the older kid has
a wooden spoon and saucepan.
Kid:
Hey Mum!! My hero!! Look what we made for you we’re going to put it in the
window to show our support for the NHS…
Panel 3
Shot of Beth on bed with tablet Beth with a big smile.
Beth:
Tablet:
You’re both up late, what a lovely surprise! And I have to say that your
artwork looks wonderful! Thank you, my darlings!
And we were out clapping and banging along with everyone else in
the street – it was great, just wish you were here!
Panel 4
Similar shot to panel 2. (Not holding anything and sitting cosy on Daddy’s lap.)
Dad:
What do you want to say to Mummy?

Both:
Thank you for being so brave by working so hard and protecting us
and everyone by staying in a hotel… we miss you tons and can’t wait
to see you!!
Panel 5
We see Beth getting a little emotional as she covers her mouth as she wishes she was at
home.
Tablet:
Mum:
Can we do a Conference call with our cousins, Mum? It was so much
fun last time…
Aww I wish we could, but it’s very late – Sophie would be in bedwhere
you both should be! Maybe tomorrow, as Mummy has got to
get to bed, I’m up early again tomorrow!
Love you guys!
Tablet:
Love you too Mum, Goodnight!
Panel 6
Similar shot to the supermarket previously. Dad is coughing. We see others coughing as an
orange mist appears in the air. Others are coughing in the background too.
PAGE 11
This page following on from the last panel of Dad coughing in the supermarket is Sophie’s
nightmare unfolding. We could go abstract and not use normal panels. Perhaps something
more like ragged panels. Go for a soft style layout.
Panel 1
We see Dad sitting with Sophie (like before) as he coughs, Sophie looks worried.
Panel 2
Dad is lying on the sofa looking quite ill. Sophie looks on really worried.
Panel 3
Sophie’s Dad like he was lying on the sofa but this time we see him in a hospital bed and on
a ventilator. We see Sophie crying and confused.

Panel 4
We see Sophie along with a crowd all wearing black, all looking sad. Her family around her
Panel 5
Exact same shot of Sophie but now everyone is gone except Sophie standing alone crying.
Panel 6
We see Sophie wake up dramatically crying and in confusion. In the corner of the room
Fovos is with Relicta and Mac.
Sophie:
Daddy!
Dad (off screen):
Coming, Sophie!
PAGE 12
Panel 1
Curador and Sanso outside the hospital.
Curador:
This virus is spreading in a very unnatural way – it’s spreading too
fast! Maybe it’s due to the number of infections and the amount of
different age and minority groups being affected?
Something’s not right here.
Sanso:
Bark Bark
Panel 2 (inset into Panel 3)
We see Curador activating his visor when he’s outside the Hospital as he runs his finger
along a railing.
Curador:
Let’s get to the bottom of this…
Curador Helmet:
[Activating Virus Scanning Lens]
Panel 3
We see what Curador is seeing through the visor (Like CoronaBot ’s view). We see him
looking at the street (Some activity as an ambulance drives up and other people milling
about) and seeing that everywhere is covered in the virus orange spray. And Sanso is sniffing
a puddle of the orange spray.

Curador:
Oh my there are huge handprints of the virus everywhere – like
someone is spreading it everywhere deliberately? There’s definitely
someone behind this, or at least taking advantage of the situation…
Sanso…
Sanso, I need you to go track this, go find the source… go quickly..
Panel 4
Small shot of Sanso running down the street away from Curador.
Panel 5
We see Sanso in the main street sniffing along.
Caption:
Not long later…
Panel 6
We see Sanso’s eyes light up and tail straighten up as if alerted.
Sanso: <Source Found>
Panel 7
Curador and Sanso speaking via the big screen at UberHQ with Q.
Q: Hi Curador – what is it?
Curador:
I sent Sanso after a hunch to track the source in the city… Look what
he found…, uploading to you right now!
Panel 8
A shot of Q looking shocked and disturbed by the visual on screen of CoronaBot in the
street. He is now grown to like 12 foot tall and is spraying the orange slime all over the
street.
Panel 9
Q: Oh my… CoronaBot 20202! Looks like he’s growing stronger and bigger!!
Thank you Curador…
Q at Comp is calling 4 zoom screens as we see the CoronaBot image to the side.
Q: This is really concerning we need to check in with the other Uberheroes to
see how they are….
