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
Re-establish the scene: The girls still dangling from their tether, look on in astonishment as the space navy squad are swarmed with stinging bees. One bee breaks off from the swarm and starts meandering towards the girls.

SFX: Bzzzzzzzzz

Panel 2
Two-shot of Fiorella and Doris, looking a little horrified.

Doris: Killer bees.

Buzz 2 (OP): Not really ...

Panel 3
One of the Bees, Buzz2, hovers in front of the girls

Buzz2: They have been injected with a modified form of curari.

Buzz2: They can still breath, blink and so forth, but they will have no control over their voluntary nervous systems for a couple of hours.


Panel 4
The girls and Buzz 2. The girls are looking at each other with expressions of schadenfreude.

Buzz 2: As the curari wears off, they will experience some discomfort as they regain the use of their muscles.



Panel 5
The girls and Buzz 2. Now the girls are looking curiously at their intercessor.

Fiorella: Uh, are you Buzz?

Buzz 2: Yes and No.

Buzz 2: We are AIs that exist within a swarm network. It is a holographic system that retains the actions and responses of all its member elements.

Panel 6
Medium closeup on Buzz 2.

Buzz 2: So now that your original Buzz has been destroyed, this unit has taken its place.

Panel 7
Two-shot of the girls, now looking relieved to the point of giddiness.
Fiorella (singing): Meet the new Buzz. Same as the old Buzz.
Doris: Won't get fooled again!

Panel 8
The girls hug each other and fall into fits of hysterical laughter.
Fiorella and Doris (in unison): Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
