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

Panel 1
Tall panel, establishing shot: In the Water Bros’ Café. Both of the Babbettes are sitting at a table (near the elder’s cashier station) with the Guzmán brothers, having a meal and talking.

B the elder: So Caillard turned out to be the hero, eh?

Ernie: Lorna said if he hadn’t plugged the leak the air would have been gone in less than four tocks*.

Bert: And it took us two centimes* to reach the cargo bay.

Caption: * 4 tocks = about 6 minutes, 2 centimes = about 29 minutes


Panel 2
Closer-in shot, B the younger and Bert are speaking.

B the younger: So do they know what caused the rupture?

Bert: An automated cargo carrier running in from Vesta went off-course and hit Ghetty at about 800 klicks per centime.


Panel 3
B the elder reacts in some shock. Bert answers her.

B the elder: Automated -! How in the heck…

Bert: Midgit Mining suspects software sabotage. Might take them months to prove it, if ever.
