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
Re-establish the scene: Babbette, Reggie, and Harmon at the table in the fine restaurant. Food has been served and the three eat and drink as they converse.
Babbette: So Dan, you never did say what business you have on Venus.
Babbette: Care to share?
Panel 2
Focus on Harmon, hunching forward a bit and glancing side to side. We can see a waitress walking by a couple of meters away, not paying any attention to Harmon.
Harmon: This is on the QT, right?
Harmon: There may be complex life on Venus.
Panel 3
Babbette and Reggie both look dubiously at Harmon. He goes on as he cuts into his pot roast.
Harmon: Yes, we all know that the research stations have never seen anything that could be called a plant or an animal.
Panel 4
High angle shot, looking from over Reggie's head at Harmon and Babbette.
Harmon: Of course, we know the surface is a burning hell, but there'd been hope we might find some kind of life floating in the upper atmosphere.
Babbette: But they found nothing, right?
Panel 5
Harmon punctuates his point by stabbing his empty fork into the air in front of him.
Harmon: This has not been released yet, but the air actually is home to something like a bouyant algae.
Harmon: They have tiny vesicles filled with gases a bit lighter than Venus' heavy carbon dioxide atmosphere.
Panel 6
Reggie addresses Harmon as Babbette sips her drink
Reggie: But something tells me you've found more than algae.
Harmon: You could say that.
