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.
We Made It! [ Jun 2, 2022 ]
Third try, as they say, is a charm.
The crowdfunding campaign for QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War Part 2 made its goal one day before the closing, and climbed a bit over the top in the final day.
Over the next week Scott will design the back cover and assemble the book pages for printing. We expect to have the printed books (as well as the cards and T-shirts) on hand in the second half of June and will ship them out to backers ASAP.
(The e-book version will also be released by then and we'll announce that date when we have it locked down.)
Panel 1
Cut to the Boneheads, who are now standing. Bonehead 1 is walking forward.
Bonehead 1: Since the only people who can get into this room unannounced, are former Boneheads themselves ...
Bonehead 1: I don't think there can be any doubt as to your, shall we say, providence.
Panel 2
Bonehead 1 is shaking hands with Hugh, as Nicole embraces Murphy and Harry looks on.
Harry: As I understand L-5 City case law …
Harry: Seamus O'Murchadha died on Terra. Hugh is a self-owning entity, and heir to O'Murchadha's estate.
Panel 3
Murphy, Nicole, Hugh, Harry, and Bonehead 1. Hugh and Harry are smiling at Nicole, who's eyes are wide-open in surprise.
Hugh: Ah, but not the sole heir.
Harry: Before he left Hyperion, O'Murchadha amended his will. Half of his shares in Project X go to his, ah, 'niece-granddaughter.'
Nicole: WHAT
Panel 4
Murphy, Nicole and Hugh.
Murphy: It was my idea, but Seamus readily agreed. We worked it out while I was consulting with him for the hearing.
Murphy: We shall both become very wealthy.
Nicole: Maybe, unless we both become very dead.
