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 Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]

Panel 1
Diana is seated across a desk from Dong, a middle-aged Asian-type with a whispy beard and a top-knot. A bit of grey at the temples.
Caption: Dong was 438 years old but didn't look a day over 45. Like most people in the City.
Dong: So you are working a case where you may face personal danger? What can you tell me about it?
Diana: Very little, I'm afraid. Client confidentiality.
Panel 2
Dong and Diana.
Dong: Then there is little I can say to help you, Ms. Martelli.
Diana: Let's just say trouble could come from any direction, at any time. What can I do?
Dong: You might hire a body-guard.
Panel 3
Dong and Diana, who is looking a bit dejected.
Diana: That … might interfere with my work.
Dong: A good body-guard can be quite unobtrusive.
Diana: Someone that good would cost more than I can afford.
Panel 4
Dong holds up a small device. Diana peers at it with interest.
Dong: Then I suggest you carry this personal panic-alarm.
Dong: It emits a 185-decibel sonic blast in all directions outside a one-meter safe-zone.
Caption: Advanced weaponized acoustics. This place continues to amaze me.
