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
A meeting of the new Vesta Council. You have a long table on a slightly raised platform behind which sit five personages, all of them Mascons, with Marsha in the center seat. Somewhere to the side a secretary is taking notes. On the wall behind the table is a large sign saying, "VESTA COUNCIL". Standing casually before the council is a Local. Two other Locals stand about a meter behind him.
Caption: Marsha and her council quickly set up offices and a meeting room in Vesta's 'Pumpkin Center' office complex.
Local: It turned out that some maintenance person had left an access hatch open, allowed a miniscule amount of radioactive dust to fall directly on a detector.
Local: No one was ever in any real danger.

Panel 2
Three-shot of Marsha and the other council members on either side of her.
Marsha: If such dangerous carelessness is rampant at Vesta Power perhaps its time to require that you hire additional guards and safety personel.
Mascon1: I second that motion.

Panel 3
Medium shot of the Local with his two friends flanking him.
Local: Wha -- it's hardly fair to saddle our company with this burden.
Marsha (OP): Don't worry, we'll order the other nuclear power companies to do the same.

Panel 4
Looking at an angle down the Council table so we see Marsha and the two council members on the left side of her.
Mascon3: In the interest of fairness we should include the solar plant operators.
Marsha: Makes sense, so amended. All in favor?
