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).

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
Above shot. Emily, Katz, and Jeff are still hanging out in the shop, talking.
Emily: Has he been...'fixed?'
Katz: Sort of. There's a wrinkle in his AI program.
Panel 2
Close-up of Katz.
Katz: If I say the word, d-e-f-e-n-d, he'll go after whomever is threatening me.
Katz: I have a safety word, which means 'halt!' in Yiddish.
Panel 3
Emily still looks a bit nervous from a perspective slighty behind and below Jeff.
Emily: Seems like a good system
Katz (OP): Well, in general, yes. Funny story. Jeff and I were in a rough mining town, and a guy with a knife jumps out and demands my money.
Panel 4
Small silhouette of the three with lots of room for dialogue.
Katz: I tell Jeff 'd-e-f-e-n-d!' and he starts for the guy. Suddenly, the guy yells 'halt!' in Yiddish. Jeff stops and looks back and forth between us, trying to deal with the cognitive dissonance. He finally makes up his mind and starts after the robber again. The guy yells, 'Oy Vey!' and takes off like a rocket. I stop Jeff and we proceed on our way. So my system works pretty well, unless I'm attacked by another gonif who's also a Yiddish-speaking Jew, but what are the odds?
