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 in the cargo bay. He has raised his left hand to reveal a fist closed around a small box.

Reggie: Gentlemen, please notice the device in my left hand.

Reggie (2): It is called a 'deadman's' switch.

Panel 2
The cockpit of the shuttle. How we see the crewmen from the front, they are looking at their monitor screen with full attention.

Reggie (filtered): If I don't keep it squeezed tightly in my hand, it will activate.

Reggie (2): If you shoot me, my hand will relax and the switch will close.
Panel 3
Same shot of the crewmen, now looking at each other with alarm.

Reggie (filtered): When that happens, the one-tenth kiloton nuke I am wearing, will detonate.

Panel 4
Close-up of Reggie, seen grinning an evil grin through his helmet visor.

Reggie: So it appears we have a bit of a 'Mexican standoff ' here. What do you propose?

Panel 5
On the bridge of the Gamma Conqueror, Admiral Harris is not pleased by what he hears the Comm Officer telling him.

Comm Officer: Sir, the shuttle advises that King Reginald has a small nuclear bomb with him, hooked to a deadman's switch.



Panel 6
Medium close-up of Harris, angrily barking his orders.
Harris: He's bluffing. Shoot him!

Panel 7
Two-shot of the two crewmen in their cockpit. They are still looking at each other, not moving, wide-eyed, beads of sweat on their faces.
Harris' voice (filtered): Shoot him!

GC Comm officer (filtered): Shuttle, please acknowledge.

Panel 8
Medium close up of Harris, enraged, teeth clenched, veins sticking out at his temples.

Harris: NNRRRGGGHH!!!
