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
Large panel. Elevated view of a private Lunar colony. Essentially, a dozen Quonset huts and domes of varying sizes, some of them connected by above-ground sealed passageways (other passageways are underground). We can see a few ground vehicles of various sizes moving around.

Caption: 'Spanish Lookout' was the name of a Lunar Mennonite colony. It was a split-away group from the Mennonite enclave at Spanish Lookout in Belize.

Caption: Contrary to popular belief, not all Mennonites shun technology. The Belize colony, for example, specialized in auto parts and repair.

Caption: Their Lunar brethren preserved that tradition by specializing in repairing moon buggies, jump rockets, environmental maintenance units and the like.

Panel 2
Medium shot of the same emergency vehicle we saw in the previous strip, flying about 500 meters over the lunar-scape, on rockets in its underside and backside(the wheels are for traversing short distances on the surface).

Caption: the Lunar Mennonites operated a free emergency rescue and disaster relief service much like the Mennonite Disaster Service organization in North America. Even though other Lunar settlers jokingly referred to the colony as 'Moonnonites,' they actually had a great deal of respect for them.

Caption: Everyone knew that if disaster struck, they could always count on help from their 'Moonnonite' neighbors. So when the Tower's emergency alarms broadcast distress signals to all Lunar settlements, the Spanish Lookout Search and Rescue service was one of the first responders.
