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 2004
Panel 1Bok narrates from a cameo, as Belbenoit stands forward, facing the arbiters:
Bok: In some other legal systems, witnesses are questioned by opposing attorneys. In our system, witnesses are questioned by the arbiters as well as the advogados.
Arb Sandini: When was the first time you saw Senhora Martelli?
Belbenoit: At the RPLD meeting in Mercado Desoto on the 11th of Octiary, where I was providing security for Zépherine Aziz, per my official duties.
Panel 2
On Belbenoit, angled so we can see Diana at her table behind him. She is staring daggers at him.
Arbiter (OP): Why did you confront Martelli in the parking lot at La Porte Gardens six days later?
Belbenoit: In an official capacity, to question her about the incident with other Smith & Holder agents at her office a few days earlier.
Arbiter (OP): And why did you assault her there?
Panel 3
Belbenoit looks troubled. Angle so we can see Arb Feingold. Miller in extreme right of panel
Belbenoit: I … ah … she spoke a secret passphrase known only to RPLD members.
Belbenoit: It shocked me, and I wanted to learn how she knew of it.
Arb Feingold (OP): Are you still an RPLD member?
Miller: Objection! Irrelevant to the situation.
Panel 4
Looking past an unhappy Miller at the arbiters. In an inset, we can see de Castries face-palming.
Arb Andrews: Objection overruled. This is very relevant.
Arb Andrews: You know that any false testimony here would completely end a witness' protection under our laws, voiding all contracts. Answer the question, Senhor Belbenoit.
Belbenoit: I … I'm still a member.
