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.
Indiegogo Campaign Has Begun! [ Nov 10, 2024 ]
Second times a charm. The epic QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War story concludes with Part 3, and we require funds to publish a print volume. To sweeten the pot a bit, a 3 pack of the print and PDF copies of all three parts of the This Means War story is a new perk. The stickers and magnet add-ons for the Project for a Free Cosmos concept (explained in the story) are available. And one final incentive for the first 20 who get there first, an add-on for a Free Cosmos Project coaster (1 per perk).
The campaign starts today, Sunday, November 10th, and will conclude in 31 days.

Panel 1
Nicole and Abdi continue their tour of the ship, walking along another corridor.
Nicole: So, 'senior engineer' implies there's also a junior engineer?
Abdi: Yes, that would be Enrique Gomez. He trades shifts with Jayesh and is in sleep time now.
Panel 2
Nicole and Abdi continue walking – we can see a shadow of someone approaching from a side-corridor.
Nicole: And that's your ship's complement? Four men, no women?
Abdi: We do have one female, in a manner of speaking.
Panel 3
At the intersection, Nicole and Abdi encounter a femiform android, rather scantily clad, with vaguely asiatic/elfin features.
Abdi: And here she is.
Abdi: This is Hitomi, the ship's … courtesan.
Panel 4
Three-shot of Nicole, Abdi and Hitomi. Nicole looks dubious, Abdi looks a bit embarrassed, Hitomi is smiling sweetly.
Nicole: 'Courtesan'?
Hitomi: Hooker, whore, floozy, doxie … just don't call me a geisha, I hate that.
