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
Reggie is talking to Harris through his computer/comm screen. Wide screen, leave room for dialog. If possible also show Guy (from front or back, whichever makes sense), to re-establish the scene.

Reggie: It will be difficult, but I promise you...

Reggie (2): I will take steps to insure complete cooperation from all levels of my government, with your command and UW dominion.

Reggie (3): I will don an environment suit, walk to the homestead you destroyed, board one of your shuttles and allow myself to be taken prisoner.

Panel 2
On the bridge of the Gamma Conqueror, Harris smiles derisively.

Harris: Very well, your majesty. I shall meet you personally upon your arrival on my flagship.

Panel 3
Reggie at his desk. His comm screen has gone blank, the connection ended. Reggie is leaning with his elbows on his desk, resting his forehead against his palms. In the far right of the panel we see a bit of Guy's head, faced towards Reggie.

No dialog.

Panel 4
Reggie has gotten up and is walking around his desk, headed towards the door. Guy is looking confused.

Guy: Reggie, do you have a government or don't you?


Panel 5
Reggie has stopped short of the doorway, bracing himself somewhat shakily with one arm against the doorjamb.

Reggie: Guy, I had to buy time.

Panel 6
Reggie and Guy. Reggie is looking very queasy.
Reggie: That was … a performance. I think it was the best and most important performance of my life.

Panel 7
Suddenly Reggie drops to his knees, vomiting.
SFX: Hrrrraaaalllggh!
