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.
Referral Contest Update [ Jun 17, 2021 ]
UPDATE: Art in progress
We could use your help getting more people to contribute to our campaign. So, we're launching a referral contest. The campaign backer whose referrals raise the most money for our campaign, will win a one-of-a-kind ink-on-paper drawing of Alyss, Hugo and Murphy, drawn and water-colored by QUANTUM VIBE creator Scott Bieser!
At right is a "study" (in the art biz, a sort of practice run on the final drawing) of what you might win: Alyss, Hugo and Murphy enjoying a rare vacation on Nuveau Mo'orea. Scott is still working on it while he's not making the strip, and we plan to reveal works in progress very soon. It will be a unique creation a real QUANTUM VIBE fan would love to have.
You must have an IndieGogo account to participate. Go to this page for more info on how to participate.
Get started now. The campaign ends, July 5th, 2021.
Transcript For Strip 1006
Panel 1Barely visible, a dark, highly reflective, flattened spheroid arcs underneath Saturn's southern pole.
Voice 1 from spheroid: Both the EM shield and mass detector are working like champs.
Voice 2 from spheroid: Course correction successful, Brigid is now tracking Course Beta.
Panel 2
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: Won't our shield silhouette against Saturn, or the Sun? Someone could spot us.
Murphy: I chose this course to avoid getting in the line of sight from any known observatory in the Saturn system.
Panel 3
A tactical illustration of the girls' course arcing over the ecliptic plane, across the system from Saturn to their destination on the far side of Sol. Murphy is in a cameo.
Murphy: Also, we will spend most of our time well above the ecliptic plane rather than in it, so no one is going to see us silhouetted against Sol.
Panel 4
In the control cabin, Nicole and Murphy.
Nicole: That's great. But I'm worried about this 'gravity drive' we're using. Has it been tested at all?
Murphy: The prototype worked fine. Where's your sense of adventure?
