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
Long, horizontal establishing shot. Anton enters the shop where Emily is behind the counter, grooming a bonsai-like plant. The shop still looks a little sparse.
Anton: Hi, Emily!
Emily: Oh, hey, Anton! I just got our meat/plant chimeras from the Kobayashi Corporation in today. Do you want to see them?
Panel 2
Largish panel. Anton is leaning on the counter where Emily has put down her tools.
Anton: Maybe in a sec.
Anton: Emily, do you think FloraFauna can be open in a hundred sols?
Emily: Sure, the shipment with the remainder of my order should be here with a decasol or so to spare. Why?
Panel 3
Medium close-up of Anton, excited.
Anton: Great! A hundred and three sols from now is Terra date, October 4!
Emily (OP): And...?
Anton: And that is the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi!
Emily: And...?
Anton: And that is the day of the Blessing of the Animals!
Panel 4
Emily, with her head slightly down, messing with the plant, reminiscing in a memory of her dead family.
Emily: Every Terran year, my family...
Emily: ... we ... we took our cat, Sv Boots, to Place de la Concorde, for the precession and blessing. It was always fun to see all the animals and their owners.
Panel 5
Emily realizes what Anton's getting at and Anton still has an excited look on his face.
Emily: Oh! That's brilliant!
Emily: We parade our furry, FloraFauna, flock around Place de la Concorde; as part of our grand opening!
Anton: Free media coverage and a million grams worth of free advertising!
Panel 6
Close-up of Emily, plotting.
Emily: I'll recruit Libby, Robyn and more, as animal handlers.
Emily: And costumes; we'll need costumes!
