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
Eithne, Murphy and Hugo assembled in the control room, looking at the main monitor. On the monitor is the alien ship.
Eithne: It just … appeared, a bit more than fifty thousand clicks away.
Eithne: It's approaching rapidly, but slowing.
Eithne: Shouldn't we be doing something?
Panel 2
Closer 3-shot of the trio, all looking tense.
Hugo: I've already raised our Miyaki shield, and the EM shield is on stand-by.
Eithne: Shouldn't we be charging our pulse-cannons?
Murphy: They might be able to detect that ...
Panel 3
Murphy, Eithne.
Murphy: … and this might precipitate a battle.
Murphy: I'd rather our first contact with this species be a peaceful one.
Eithne: This may not be a first contact for them.
