Back The Campaign!

It's not too late. Plenty of time to back our campaign. Many perks available including an autographed print copy of Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3).

Campaign ends December 10th. Click on this link or on the picture to back our campaign!

Indiegogo Campaign Has Begun!

Second times a charm. The epic QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War story concludes with Part 3, and we require funds to publish a print volume. To sweeten the pot a bit, a 3 pack of the print and PDF copies of all three parts of the This Means War story is a new perk. The stickers and magnet add-ons for the Project for a Free Cosmos concept (explained in the story) are available. And one final incentive for the first 20 who get there first, an add-on for a Free Cosmos Project coaster (1 per perk).

The campaign starts today, Sunday, November 10th, and will conclude in 31 days.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Establishing shot of the Rose seastead, exterior view. See notes that Sandy wrote about seasteads. The view should be something like a crane shot – an elevated view but not from directly overhead.

Julia Rose (from inside the house): Alfred, did Bobby go to pick up Emily from work yet?

Panel 2
Interior shot. A futuristic but recognizable kitchen, with sleek surfaces. A couple of pots steam gently on the stove. Julia Rose – think of Michael Lerned from the Waltons – is cutting up some vegetables on the counter near the stove. Alfred Rose is also in the kitchen, looking for something in the refrigerator. Put Alfred to the left of Julia.
Alfred: Bobby's studying for his journeyman exam. I'll go get Emily.

Panel 3
Suddenly Billy Rose is right next to Alfred, pleading his case. Alfred is looking like the cat caught with feathers in its mouth. Julia is looking at Alfred with some bemusement.

Billy: I can go get Emily! You said I could drive the sled to Ceres City!

Julia: You did?

Alfred: I did.

Panel 4
In the foreground right, a delighted Bill Rose bounds out of the kitchen. Behind him are stern Alfred and concerned Julia.

Alfred: Very well, Billy. Take the sled, and you go straight to town and straight back with Emily, understand?

Billy: You betcha!
