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 20
Panel 1
Larger panel, the golf cart has emerged from a tunnel into a large are that looks something like an indoor shopping mall. Traffic is much slower as conveyances and pedestrians mix in a chaotic pattern.

Babbette: We’re almost there.
Panel 2
Focus on Guy and Fiorella looking out to one side. They see a shop with the sign, 'Uncle Don’s Casino and Bar'

Guy: Hmph.

Panel 3
They look to the other side. They pass a storefront with the sign: 'Custom Tailoring for Well-Armed Ladies and Gentlemen.'

Guy: That can’t be right! Guns are illegal throughout the United World.


Panel 4
The cart pulls up in front of an airlock with a large sign:
Water Bros. Ice Mining, Boarding House and Café.
Bert & Ernie Guzmán, Proprietors
Proud Sponsors of the 'Ice Hammers' Surface Hockey Team
And the 'Brothers in Arms' CDPA Shooting Squad.

(We’ll get to see the sign up close in the next strip, so if detail is lost or sign is partly obscured that’s okay)

Babbette: Here we are, folks.
Panel 5
Guy and Fiorella have disembarked from the cart, and Guy is handing Babbette a bank note. She’s looking at it quizzically.
Panel 6
Close-up of the note in Babbette’s hands. It’s a United World Continental, which looks a bit like our Five Dollar Bill – except that in place of FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE it reads UNITED WORLD BANK NOTE, in place of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA it reads UNITED WORLD, in place of FIVE DOLLARS it reads ONE CONTINENTAL and the portrait is of Dag Hammarskjold, an early UN Secretary-General. Put a bar-code on it somewhere.

Babbette (from off-panel): *sigh*
Panel 7
Babbette begins driving away, her eyes rolled up in a resigned expression. Guy in the background smiles and waves.

Babbette: Thank you.
