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).

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: Wally's bedroom, at his family's residence. Not your typical teen-aged boy's room – it's kept fairly tidy. Posters on walls from movies featuring famous fictional detectives: Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Nero Wolfe. He's at his desk, gazing at his computer holoscreen.
Voice of Wally's mom (from outside room): Wally? Did you load the dishwasher like I asked you to?
Wally: Yes, Mom.

Panel 2
Looking over Wally's shoulder at the holoscreen. It shows the main page of the Belt Examiner, an online news/blog/tribune (a descendent of the Examiner.com, a network of local news websites featuring articles by citizen journalists in a blog-like platform).
Wally's Mom: Did you re-set the reactor coils like your father asked you to?
Wally: Yes, Mom.

Panel 3
Close-up on the screen. We see a section labeled at the top: Archives: MD 65.130; and underneath, a section labeled “Arrivals Due This Decaday.” and a listing that's too small for us to be able to read, but it's a listing of ship names and scheduled arrival dates.
Wally's mom: Did you feed the cat like, uh, well, did you feed the cat?
Wally: Yes, Mom.
