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.
Quantum Vibe: Château Périlleux Now On KIndle & DriveThru [ Nov 2, 2020 ]
The hiatus is over, but now's still a good time to go back and read the previous volume of QUANTUM VIBE: Château Périlleux. Now available in digital format on Kindle and Drive Thru Comics!
QUANTUM VIBE: Château Périlleux asks how does a society without a formal government deal with crime and criminal conspiracies? In the far-future space-city known as Bubbleopolis, they do it with a mixture of wit, grit, and a culture based on rolling up one's sleeves and doing what must be done. Diana Martelli, a recent arrival, likes to call it compassionate individualism. And speaking of, young Diana is tasked with finding out who killed a supposedly un-killable android -- and uncovers a conspiracy which shakes the very foundations of the city and its culture.
As a bonus, we've added sixteen pages of "The Trial", a supplement to "Château Périlleux" which was not included in the printed version. Enjoy!
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.
