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
On the Bridge of the Gamma Conqueror, the Weapons Officer looks over towards Admiral Harris with a concerned expression. Harris looks forward with eyes narrowed and jaw set.

Weapons Officer: Sir, there's a minor fluctuation in the beam. The impact area is expanding.

Harris: Complete the firing sequence.

Panel 2
In the cafe, looking at Billy in the comm screen over Emily's shoulder.
Emily: Quit fooling around, Billy.

Billy: I'm not! It's ---

Panel 3
As close in on the screen as you can get. Billy is being boiled alive in the energy beam fluctuation. Make this as grizzly as you can imagine, pull out all the stops – I want an image that will haunt readers in their nightmares.

Billy: EEEEEAAAAAGGGHHH!


Panel 4
Reverse view. Emily has fallen back in shock into Babbette's arms, who is shocked enough herself. Emily still holds her comm-arm up shakily, the screen now a blank white.
No dialog.
