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 67

Panel 1
Bert is alone at the cut-off end of the Corridor, cut off from his companions by the emergency pressure door. His orientation makes clear that he’s been knocked about a bit, as well, but the lights are still on and the pressure is holding (well, mostly).

On one of the panels, an electronic display flashes:
PRESSURE BREACH DANGER
CLEAR SECTION IMMEDIATELY

Bert: Unnnnh.. What th’…

Bert (2): Oh, NO.

Panel 2
Reacting quickly, Bert propells himself quickly back along the Corridor towards the Carbon Operations block. Something in his breast pocket beeps at him.

Bert: Gotta get to the block…

SFX: B-DEEP-A-DEEP! B-DEEP-A-DEEP!

Panel 3
Bert carries his PDA/phone in his pocket. He holds it about 25 cm away from his face and looks at the 7x10cm holodisplay it projects just above itself. On it is the face of Fiorella.

PDA: Bert? Where are you? What’s going on?

Bert: I’m hauling ass back to Carbon Ops. What’s your situation?

PDA: Sealed off, blacked out, and leaky. No injuries.

Panel 4
Bert collides with Kent from Carbon Ops, who is barreling along from the opposite direction (they impact shoulder-to-breastbone rather than head-to-head).

Kent: Look out!

Bert: Sh-OOF!!

PDA: Bert?
