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
Wally is at the counter in the Water Bros. Cafe, having a meal of beef stew with a roll on the side. Babbette the Elder is standing on one side of him, Emily Rose on the other. Wally has a bandage under his left eye, another on the right side of his forehead, and patch on his nose similar to the one Babbette the Younger had on hers at the end of Fly, Robyn Fly.
Emily: I hope you're not trying to start a fashion fad.
Babbette: What did your parents say when they saw you?

Panel 2
Same shot – now the two women are looking at each other as Wally speaks.
Wally: Haven't been home yet – things are tense enough there as it is.

Panel 3
Vinny joins the trio.
Vinny: Well, I've got bad news and good news.
Babbette: What is it, Vinny?

Panel 4
Looking past Babbette, over Wally's head, past Emily, at Vinny
Vinny: Looks like our Mugger hot-footed it off-world on a tramp freighter.
Vinny: He's out of our reach, so we can't do an arbitration.
Babbette: And the good news?

Panel 5
Medium close-up of Vinny

Vinny: The other merchants agreed with your suggestion that since the mugger has been stopped, even though we can't try him, Wally has done us a service and we should award him half the the original bounty.

Panel 6
Vinny drops five gold coins (each about the size of a quarter) into Wally's open palm. Wally is smiling probably for the first time since his friend Billy was killed.
Vinny: Good work, Sv. Cooper.
Wally: Thank you, Sv. Suprynowicz

Panel 7
Wally holds up one of the coins and gazes at it admiringly, as Emily and Babbette look on.
Wally: Looks like I'm going to have a career after all.
Babbette: A career? As what?

Panel 8
Wally closes his fist over the coin and sets his jaw.
Wally: As a Justice Agent.
