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
New scene. An indoor lounge-type setting. The Brothers are sitting on a sofa with a coffee table before them, drinks in hand, as Tobi and the Girls approach them. The Girls are holding out the Brother's guns towards them, grips forward, in a proferring gesture. Mac also has a canvas courier-bag slung over one shoulder.

Tobi: Here are your guns back, fellas.

Tobi (2): I am truly sorry that I felt I had to take them away from you.
Panel 2
The brothers are now standing. If we can see the coffee table, the drinks have been placed on them. The Brothers are holstering their guns. Tobi has his head bowed, still apologizing. The Girls stand back a bit (may not be in frame).

Ernie: Hey, it's no prob ...

Tobi: You have been unfailingly gracious, but I have been a pretty despicable host.

Panel 3
Now the brothers are looking awkward and a bit uncomfortable. Tobi continues his apologizing.
Bert: Well, I wouldn't say ...
Tobi: To disarm peaceful guests for such a flimsy cause is a disgrace to this house and I hope you can ...

Panel 4
The brothers are blushing with embarassment at Tobi's display. Tobi suddenly looks at them with an expression of understanding. Show Mac reaching into her courier-bag in this frame.

Tobi: … forgive … uh.

Tobi: Ok, I'll stop apologizing. Mac, if you will –?


Panel 5
Mac hands Bert and Ernie identical boxes, measuring about 7”x10”x3” thick.

Tobi: But I do hope you'll accept these gifts.

Panel 6
High-angle shot looking over the brothers' shoulders as they have opened the boxes to reveal the HK P7M13 9mm pistols inside (one gun per box, with a spare magazine, held securely in velvet-lined interior molding).

Bert: Wow! HKs!

Ernie: Beautiful!

Panel 7
Nisa has moved over to stand next to Bert, and Mac is standing next to Ernie. The brothers hold their boxed gifts in the arms opposite the girls, and have their free arms around the girls' waists. Each bro and corresponding girl look at one another lustily. Tobi can be seen in the foreground right, smiling.

Ernie: Do we get to keep our keepers, too?

Tobi: They can be your guides – or whatever – for as long as you're here.
