To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
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.

Transcript For Strip 1457
Panel 1Continue the scene. Murphy vs Hugo as Eithne looks on.
Murphy: That technology requires insane amounts of energy!
Murphy: Not to mention, the energy release when a ship drops the field could crack a moon in half.
Murphy: Not to mention problems with Hawking radiation, causality violation, and the need for 'exotic matter' to make it all work.
Panel 2
Hugo ponders the implications.
Hugo: You are correct, of course.
Hugo: While the energy-momentum tensor theory was proved in the laboratory, no one was able to translate that into a practical faster-than-light drive.
Hugo: Even my own – that is, Seamus O'Murchadha's – gravity drive, derived from that effect, could not get around the light-speed barrier.
Panel 3
Three-shot, focusing on Hugo.
Hugo: At any rate, efforts to create a space-warp were made moot when Nicole Oresme invented the Discontinuous Displacement Drive.
Eithne: You mean, The Murphy Drive?
Murphy: He never liked giving me any of the credit for it.
