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

Strip 64

Panel 1
Wide panel. The tour stands towards the back of a darkened room filled with electronic displays and control panels. Four Operators are in the foreground (grouped more towards the right), two of them sitting at consoles wearing visors and grasping joystick controllers (the one on the left is female), the other two at stations with normal clusters of keyboards and touch-screens, not quite as intensely engaged with their work as the two with the joysticks.

Lorna: Operations are run from this control center.

Lorna (2): These Operators work in shifts to keep the machinery working at optimal efficiency.

Panel 2
Guy stands beside one of the Operators at a keyboard/touchscreen station, clapping a friendly/sympathetic hand on the man’s shoulder. F and B look on quizzically



Guy: Ah! A true workingperson, mixing your sinew with – ah – asteroid to create material wealth for society.

Guy: And no doubt, paid only a pittance by your cappy masters for your sweat and blood.


Panel 3
The Operator turns around with an annoyed look and brushes Guy’s hand off his shoulder. Angle the shot so that in the background or to the side we can see the other non-joystick Operator, looking on with an amused expression.

Operator: Just what sort of fool do you take me for?

Operator (2): I am one of the “cappy masters” here. And so are my crewmates.
