Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]

Transcript For Strip 587
Panel 1At the front counter of an establishment named BesTech Scientific Gear. Murphy is dealing with the store clerk (male standard human), who is looking down at her console display and repeating back Murphy's order. Nicole is standing close-by.
Clerk: Okay, that's one Dickerson Mark III magnetic resonance scanner, one Wilson molecular spectro-analyzer, one laser scalpel, 10 sampler syringes, two pairs of skingloves and ... four forceps?
Murphy: That's correct.
Panel 2
Two-shot of the clerk and Murphy.
Clerk: Very good, ma'am. I'll have these fabbed for you in about 15 minutes.
Clerk: The amount due will be 35 augrams, 12 sils.
Panel 3
Murphy and Nicole confer while the clerk is away filling the order. Murphy is holding up a rucksack.
Nicole: Won't it look suspicious carrying all that stuff into the mortuary?
Murphy: I'll be carrying them in this rucksack I bought down the causeway.
Panel 4
Murphy and Nicole.
Nicole: And the rucksack won't raise eyebrows?
Murphy: I can wear it on my back and hide it in my holo-field. Just like you do with your carry-all belt.
