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
Large establishing shot of the Ceres spaceport terminal. Guy is standing a few meters away from the escalator landing. He clearly doesn’t have as much trouble in the low-gee as he did on his last visit. He is carrying a diplomatic valise, looking around. There are a few people milling around, but no one he knows.

Guy (thought): I did T-mail the Guzmáns that I was coming on this ship.

Guy (thought 2): I also T-mailed Fiorella, but she never responded.

Panel 2

Small panel. Three-quarters view of Caillard, from about the hips up, looking disappointed.

Guy: Has no one come to meet me?


Panel 3
Same shot, but now Caillard is turning in reaction to a familiar voice coming from over his shoulder.

Voice: Hi Guy, it’s me, Babbette!


Guy: Babbette, is that y--
Panel 4


Babbette collides into Guy with a warm hug, knocking the wind out of him. Babbette is 14 Terran Years old now, so she’s 20cm taller and starting to get jail-bait curvy. Her clothes are a bit different and her hair is tied back now rather than in pigtails but she’s still wearing the Ceres Spaceport Agent cap.

Guy: -- OOF!


Panel 5
As Guy somewhat self-consciously disentangles himself from Babbette, Reggie King walks up to greet him. Reggie is wearing a blue work shirt and jeans, looking casual. Guy does a double take as he recognizes the King in such casual habiliments.

Guy: Who – ah! King Reginald?


Panel 6
Guy starts to bow but Reggie stops him with a gentle hand on the shoulder. Standing behind Guy, Babbette giggles.

Reggie: Hey, hey, hey. Someone might see us.


Panel 7
Three-shot of Reggie, Guy and Babbette. Guy straightens up, points a finger at his eyebrow, winks. Reggie and Babbette look perplexed.

Guy: Oh, I see, Your Majesty. You are here incognito. I understand.
