A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier.

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 1833
Panel 1Close-up of Diana in severe anguish, her face surrounded by a black fog of despair.
Caption: It hit me like a steamroller I didn't see coming.
Caption: They tortured him. For information. About the Roaz case.
Caption: They were looking for me, too. They didn't find me.
Caption: They had to have asked him where I would go. But he didn't give me up.
Caption: No matter what they did to him, he didn't give me up.
Panel 2
Pull back, now we see that Diana is curled up in the lap of Wook, who is stroking her hair in an attempt to comfort her as she would a child. Diana is snapping out of her funk and realizing where she is.
Wook: … he will be healed … it's okay … he will be with you again ...
Diana: Buuh …
Panel 3
Diana quickly gets to her feet, looking embarrassed. Wook looks a bit disappointed. Areum, looking on, is deadpan as usual.
Diana: Sorry … sorry! I … Juan is a good friend, and … this ...
Areum: Unfortunately you will not be able to speak with him for another 16 days.
Areum: Perhaps we should return to the flyer now.
Panel 4
Diana bends close over Juan's sarcophagus. In the background are the bodyguards, and the snake.
Diana: So … Senhor Montoya, you said I have full control of his business and property?
Montoya: Yes, indeed. He must hold you in high regard, to be so trusting.
Areum: Take care that you do not precipitate another emotional collapse, Montoya.
