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
Wide panel. Logo will run across the top of the page this time.

We are back at the Ceres Spaceport Terminal. Guy is preparing to leave, and an informal farewell committee is there to see him off: Reggie, Bert, Ernie, Babbette the Younger (wearing her ‘Agent’ cap), Lorna, also Emily Rose, her younger brother Billy and his friend Wally. Fiorella will also show up but she’s not in the initial shot. Reggie is dressed as he was during the last scene, and is holding out a white gift box. The box is about 60cm long, a bit less than 30cm wide and 6cm thick.

Caption: As Guy Caillard departs for Terra, an informal farewell committee is on hand to see him off.

Reggie: Before you go, Special Agent Caillard, we wish to offer you a token of our esteem and appreciation.

Panel 2

Medium shot of Reggie. He is opening the box with a flourish, revealing is contents – a long, black, silken triangular flag. The hoist end is emblazoned with a golden crown. Extending towards the fly end, in gold letters of decreasing size, are the words ‘World Ceres.’

Reggie: We give you our national flag, the World Ceres Pennant.

Panel 3
Medium shot of Guy, now holding the opened box and looking at the gift warmly. He is visibly moved. We see a partial silhouette of Fiorella, standing behind him.

Guy: Thank you, Your Majesty. I am honored and shall treasure your gracious gift always.

Panel 4

Close 2-shot of Guy and Fiorella. She has laid a hand on his shoulder to get his attention, and he turns to look at her in surprise. (She is dressed in Cererean clothes, and has a pistol on her hip, but we won’t see all of that until the last panel.

Guy: … I …
Panel 5
Fiorella embraces Guy, kissing him passionately.

No dialog.

Panel 6
Maintain close-up. They break the kiss, and Fiorella speaks.

Fiorella: Come back.

Panel 7
Wide shot. As Guy looks on slack-jawed, and everyone else looks on appreciatively, Fiorella strides away with all the ease of a life-long Cererean.

Announcer (electronic): This is your final boarding call for Burner 23 bound for Terra. Final boarding call.

Caption: Not the end.
