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.
We Made It! [ Jun 2, 2022 ]
Third try, as they say, is a charm.
The crowdfunding campaign for QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War Part 2 made its goal one day before the closing, and climbed a bit over the top in the final day.
Over the next week Scott will design the back cover and assemble the book pages for printing. We expect to have the printed books (as well as the cards and T-shirts) on hand in the second half of June and will ship them out to backers ASAP.
(The e-book version will also be released by then and we'll announce that date when we have it locked down.)
Transcript For Strip 1823
Panel 1Diana steps into the parlor. Dong, Areum and Wook are seated straight-backed on a chair and sofa arranged around a coffee table, upon which sits a tea service. A classic-human girl in a maid outfit stands by.
Diana: Is it tea time already?
Dong: It is always tea time, somewhere in the Universe.
Dong: But now is also the time for planning.
Panel 2
Lorelei, refreshed and re-dressed, enters.
Lorelei: Absolutely. Cooper's performance was quite … unexpectedly subdued.
Dong: The danger coming from Smith & Holder remains, despite this.
Lorelei: Diana, have you uncovered some dirt on the company or its employees that would make you a target?
Panel 3
Xtreme close-up on Diana, pondering her quandary.
Caption: That put me on the spot. Because in the first place, my investigations are supposed to be confidential.
Caption: Not only that, Lorelei is a key figure in the investigation, herself.
Caption: I had come to trust her as a 'friend in deed.'
Caption: But I'd also just learned she has this weird political agenda.
Panel 4
Pull back to show Diana now seated between Lorelei and Dong.
Diana: I … can't reveal the details of my investigative work.
Diana: Suffice to say, I am certainly a 'target,' and in the market for a new assurance agency.
Diana: But until I see Juan again I'm not sure I even have a job to pay for one, now.
