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 ]

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Panel 1
Elric leads Zander into a room that is full of partially various odd bits of electronic gear stacked on various surfaces, and some half-broken-down cabinets with drawers. Zander is holding his nose.
Zander: Ugh, what's that smell?
Lupin: Shh. Don't say anything about that. You'll get used to it in a few minutes.
Panel 2
They come upon Razor, the quintessential programmer geek, hunched over a keyboard, staring intently at the screen. He's wearing goggles and a ratty t-shirt.
Elric: Hey Razor, we got a new maker. His name's Wildcard.
Elric: Say hello to Wildcard, Razor.
Razor: Hello to Wildcard, Razor.
Panel 3
Elric turns to Zander as Razor continues typing away at the keyboard, ignoring them.
Elric: Don't take offense, he gets like that when he's working.
Elric: He's kind of autistic, but a programming wiz.
Zander: I guess I can relate to that.
Razor: Tools.
Panel 4
Elric is a bit startled. Razor continues typing and staring at the screen.
Elric: What? Tools?
Razor: Tools. Got tools?
Zander: My parents took them away. That's why I left ...
Panel 5
Elric turns back to look in the direction they came from.
Elric: Second cabinet. Third and fourth drawer.
Elric: I think he's saying he has some tools you can use.
Panel 6
Elric and Zander are at the cabinet, the fourth drawer is open. Zander is holding an ohm-meter and some screwdrivers. Various wires are sticking out of the drawer.
Zander: What a mess. It's a start, but I'll need more.
Elric: Procurement is Lupin's department. Tell him what you need.
Zander: Yeah, he's a real giver.
