Indiegogo Campaign Has Begun!

Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3) 30 day Indiegogo campaign.

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 walks out towards the homestead crater, passing the charred remains of Billy's sled. We're seeing him from behind. The sled remains are to his right, and there is a 100-meter-wide shallow crater in front of him.

No dialog.
Panel 2
Standing near the center of the crater now, Reggie looks upward.
No dialog.

Panel 3
Looking up past Reggie in the right foreground, we see the Shuttle from the Gamma Conqueror descending toward him. It's about twice the size of a Star Trek type shuttlecraft, but uglier. Instead of nacelles on the lower sides, there are four small thrusters mounted on rotatable gimbals. These are being used to control the descent.

No dialog.

Panel 4
The shuttle lands about 20 yards away from Reggie.
Reggie (thought): If the nuke is discovered too soon at least I can cost Harris a shuttle.
