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 80

Panel 1
Larger panel (leave some room for the logo). The forkbots have just started pulling Section 12-327 away from the asteroid surface, as Bert and Jay hover close-by in their spacesuits.

Jay: Got it! Section is clear, repeat, Section is clear of the surface.

Jay (2): Begin vector towards Iron Works.

Bert: Lorna? How are you guys doing in there?


Panel 2
Inside the darkened Section, all we see of Guy, Fiorella and Lorna is a cocoon of thermal blanket.


Lorna (from inside cocoon): Still in one piece, far as I can tell. How long till we reach Iron Works?


Panel 3
Inside the cocoon, tight close-up three-shot of Guy, Fiorella, and Lorna. Lorna is speaking to her companions


Bert (from Lorna’s comm.): Jay says about 3 centimes.

Lorna: That’s about 45 Terran minutes.

Panel 4
Oustide the cocoon again.

Guy: By Barak, we’re going to make it!

Fiorella: Uh-oh. What’s that sound?

SFX: sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss




Panel 5
The cocoon drifts towards the source of the hissing, a small crack in one bulkhead.

Guy: I think this problem may be self-correcting.

Panel 6
Drawn by the escaping air, cocoon bumps up against the bulkhead crack. There’s a bit of a bend in the cocoon to indicate the part of the cocoon making contact is somebody’s butt.

SFX: Thwmp

Fiorella: What was that?

Guy: I believe that is my skinny, Gallic derriere saving yours, ma Cherie.

Panel 7

Inside the cocoon, tight shot of Guy, Fiorella, Lorna. Guy is grimacing as his flesh is getting slowly sucked into the crack. Fiorella looks at him with concern. Lorna is trying hard not to grin.

Fiorella: Are you okay?

Lorna: If we get out of this soon enough, he will be. But he’ll have one hell of a hickey on his fanny.
