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
Ed and Chang still at the cafe table, Chang is looking sideways across the plaza.
Ed: Using force to stop your boy or his girlfriend from kissing – or even more – is simply not consistent with our zero aggression principle.
Panel 2
Medium 3-shot of the soldier, the girl, and her boyfriend. The soldier has a hand on one of the girl's breasts. The boyfriend is looking even more tense but not doing anything.
No dialog.
Panel 3

Close-up of Chang gazing out on the plaza, looking amazed.
No dialog.
Panel 4
Back to medium 2-shot of Chang and Ed.
Ed: Oh, the boyfriend is pissed and this might end their relationship, but nobody is going to get punched or anything.
Ed: In fact, he's exhibiting more restraint than you might think. He could challenge your boy to a duel.
Panel 5
Looking past Ed at Chang, who does a take.
Chang: And that's legal?
Ed: No, it's not illegal. If your soldier chose not to accept the challenge, that's all there'd be to it.


Panel 6
Chang and Ed. It's Chang's turn to talk.
Chang: Okay, so it looks like I was li … it looks as though my superiors had bad intel.
Chang: But we have come a very long way to just turn around and go home.

Panel 7
Sideways two-shot of Ed and Chang. Both are smiling slightly.
Ed: Your superiors did have bad intel.
Ed: Sounds to me like you need to consult with your superiors in light of unanticipated circumstances, don't you think?
