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 1773
Panel 1Diana is on foot again, her flyer case slung over her shoulder, as she walks through a concourse.
Caption: I already knew I wouldn't be admitted to speak with Fritch at his office.
Caption: I'd need to find him at some place more accessible, where his guard would be down.
Panel 2
Diana enters a shop with a sign reading 'The Funky Elephant' complete with a graphic of an anthropomorphic elephant smoking a hookah.
Caption: Fritch's credit records indicated he frequented a certain hookah den.
Caption: Cannabis seemed an odd vice for a security manager, but I've seen plenty of stranger things in the City.
Panel 3
Diana walks through the bar. Several patrons are seated around tables each featuring a large hookah with several smoking tubes attached.
Caption: Back on Zytemonde, the cannabis we had was only suitable for making hemp. No psychoactive effects.
Caption: We got high on illicit fermented grains and something we called 'tartar sauce.'
Panel 4
Medium close-up on Diana, eyes narrowed as she seeks her quarry.
Caption: Did I partake? You bet your ass I did. Zytemonde was fucking boring, at least until the last few weeks I was there.
Caption: I avoided the 'scene' here in the City mainly because I had so much work to do.
Caption: And now my work has brought me into it.
