IGG Campaign Concludes [ Jul 6, 2021 ]
A Message From Alyss
So, we fell just a few hundred short of our goal, but that's okay, because it's a "Flexible Goal" meaning we still get the funds raised (minus Indiegogo's cut) so we can and will fulfill the promised perks.
We are grateful to all who contributed, and yes you are all now founding members of the "Free Cosmos Project," with all the privileges membership entitles you thereto. (Unless you don't want the honor, we'll respect that too.) Which for now means we'll be whipping up a spiffy little Certificate for each of you, physical versions sent out with the physical books requested, and PDF versions for the rest.
Indiegogo will disburse the funds to us soon. And we've already got the ball rolling printing books, and postcards, as well as the above-mentioned FCP certificates. And we'll be talking a bit more about the Free Cosmos Project in the coming weeks.
Thanks again and click on, me hearties, click on.
Transcript For Strip 1823
Panel 1Diana steps into the parlor. Dong, Areum and Wook are seated straight-backed on a chair and sofa arranged around a coffee table, upon which sits a tea service. A classic-human girl in a maid outfit stands by.
Diana: Is it tea time already?
Dong: It is always tea time, somewhere in the Universe.
Dong: But now is also the time for planning.
Panel 2
Lorelei, refreshed and re-dressed, enters.
Lorelei: Absolutely. Cooper's performance was quite … unexpectedly subdued.
Dong: The danger coming from Smith & Holder remains, despite this.
Lorelei: Diana, have you uncovered some dirt on the company or its employees that would make you a target?
Panel 3
Xtreme close-up on Diana, pondering her quandary.
Caption: That put me on the spot. Because in the first place, my investigations are supposed to be confidential.
Caption: Not only that, Lorelei is a key figure in the investigation, herself.
Caption: I had come to trust her as a 'friend in deed.'
Caption: But I'd also just learned she has this weird political agenda.
Panel 4
Pull back to show Diana now seated between Lorelei and Dong.
Diana: I … can't reveal the details of my investigative work.
Diana: Suffice to say, I am certainly a 'target,' and in the market for a new assurance agency.
Diana: But until I see Juan again I'm not sure I even have a job to pay for one, now.
