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/establishing shot, Guy Caillard's knife-fighting class. Actually, it's Bryce Carson's class – Bryce is 40-ish, physically fit, mixed African/Chinese descent, friendly attitude. Bryce and his students are wearing sweat-clothes with cloth belts, and Chinese-style cloth slippers, and each wields a 'red knife,' which is a plastic, soft-tipped replica of a 'fighting knife,' such being a knife with a double-edged, six-inch blade, a short hand guard, and a six-inch handle. Since we're not doing full color, you can't actually make these red knives red, but do your best to make them look like plastic. There are only three students: One is Donielle, a plain young woman a bit on the pudgy side; Guy, and young Wally Cooper, now about 14 Earth years, who Bryce is introducing.

Bryce: Time to start the knife-fighting class, and today we welcome our new student, Wally Cooper.

Panel 2
Three-shot of the students. Donielle on the left, Guy in the center, Wally on the right. Guy reaches out with his left hand and condescendingly pats Wally on the head.

Guy: Ah, young Sv. Cooper. Lost interest in pranking newcomers, I hope?

Panel 3
Wally pokes the end of his practice knife into Guy's chest in a quick 'touché' move, catching Guy flat-footed. Donielle giggles.

Wally: Fortunately for you, yeah.
