Back The Campaign!

It's not too late. Plenty of time to back our campaign. Many perks available including an autographed print copy of Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3).

Campaign ends December 10th. Click on this link or on the picture to back our campaign!

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
A somewhat high-angled shot looking past Buzz perched atop the trolley in the foreground at the girls. Fiorella has taken one of the jump-suits off the rack and his holding it in front of her, the way women do when they're considering a new dress. Doris is looking and speaking to Buzz.

Buzz: When you are ready for breakfast, please let me know what you would like and I will see that it is delivered.

Doris: So Buzz, is there anything fun to do around here?

Panel 2
Same shot. Buzz remains silently perched atop the trolley. The girls are puzzled by the silence and are glancing at each other.

No dialog.

Panel 3
Switch angle so that the girls are in the foreground, Buzz on the trolley in the background. The girls are reacting like someone is dragging fingernails across the blackboard.

Buzz: Ah, that was meant as a joke, wasn't it?

Buzz: hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Panel 4
Two-shot of Doris and Buzz, however you can manage it.

Doris: Buzz! Never make that sound again!

Buzz: Yes Doris.

Panel 5
Wide shot. The girls and Buzz and the trolley to the left side; to the right is a large section of the wall that is clearly a framed flat-video monitor, about 120-inch diagonal. Currently displaying an abstract swirl of colors. The girls are turning to look at it as Buzz speaks.

Buzz: The wall screens are voice interactive.

Buzz: The default command initiator is 'Screen,' however you may reset to another initiator.

Buzz: The screen can be queried for information about the Park and its attractions.

Panel 6
Doris stands squarely before the screen and addresses it.

Doris: Screen

Screen: Yes, Doris.

Panel 7
Medium close-up of Doris.

Doris: I wish to address you as 'Computer.' Can you respond like the computer in the original Star Trek TV series?


Panel 8
Two-shot of Doris and Fiorella; Fiorella is gazing at the screen which is off-panel behind the camera; Doris is glancing at Fiorella and smiling a bit sheepishly.

Screen (in a different, retro sort of font): Working.

Doris: I love the classics.
