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).

Campaign ends December 10th. Click on this link or on the picture to back our campaign!

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
Babbette and Reggie, now fully dressed in spiffy new clothes (come up with whatever fashion design you like but Reggie needs to be wearing some sort of jacket or vest), step out of a tube train at a station (think of the shuttle train that connects the concourses at the Denver airport), there are also a few other people disembarking.
About tube-trains: Roughly as wide as a Greyhound inter-city bus, and just a bit wider than tall – shaped in cross-section like an ellipse but flattened a bit on the lateral sides. They run in a train of 8 interlinked cars each about 5 meters long, along a thick-T-shaped monorail.
Caption: Reggie had made arrangements to get Martian laissez-passers for Babbette and himself.
Caption: Though not exactly passports, these would serve as travel documents.

Panel 2
Babbette and Reggie walking along a curved walkway past various Martian-style storefronts.
Caption: Mars, Inc. was treated by the UW as an NGO for some purposes, including the issuance of laissez-passers.
Caption: Actually, Mars Inc. authorized just about anyone to issue them, and the issuers weren't too fussy about who got them.

Panel 3
Babbette and Reggie in a print shop. Reggie is dealing with a clerk in the shop.
Caption: These documents allowed Reggie and Babbette to obscure who they were and where they came from.
Caption: Their true identities were red-flagged in UW law enforcement files.

Panel 4
Reggie stuffs the documents into an inside breast pocket of his jacket as he and Babbette emerge from the print shop.
Caption: While no one was currently looking for them, they would still have been a career-enhancement collar for anyone who serendipitously nabbed them.
