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: Arana and the girls, with their luggage, in the airlock. Doris is laying a hand on Fiorella's shoulder. (Put the girls on the left and Arana on the right)

Doris: Arana, I want to brag about my shipmate here.

Doris: She is a natural, new-out-of-the-box pistolera …

Panel 2
Two-shot of Fiorella and Doris, Fiorella is blushing a little.

Doris: … that's the feminine form of pistolero, I just made up.

Doris: Up until recently, she never so much as touched a gun.

Panel 3
Largish, flashback panel. We see Fiorella from behind, facing an array of target flats shaped and painted like an assortment of thugs, menacing aliens and monsters, along with some normal-looking bystanders and hostages. Fiorella is brandishing a laser pistol – which shoots a harmless beam of light, not something that could actually damage anything – and hitting bullseyes on the bad guys but not the innocents. Show Doris' head in an inset as she describes the scene.

Doris: In the Spiral, she got an almost perfect score for nailing the bad guys.

Doris: Even better, she didn't shoot even one good guy, hostage, or bystander.


Panel 4
Back to the now. Everyone is smiling.

Doris: She is not someone you want to piss off.

Arana: Promise me you are coming back.



Panel 5
Now the girls are on either side of Arana, kissing him on his cheeks.

Doris: That's a promise.

Fiorella: As soon as we can.

Panel 6
The girls are now inside the Split-Tail. Doris is making sure the hatch is sealed, while Fiorella moves to stow their luggage.

Doris: I love the interesting people we meet in this job.

Fiorella: Where to now, my Captain?

Panel 7
Exterior shot of the Split-Tail, exiting from the Monolith into space.
Doris (from inside the ship): Set course for Ceres. I'm ready to go home.
