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 2007
Panel 1Bok in full panel again:
Bok: In some other legal systems, an outburst like that would get someone grabbed and thrown in a dank dungeon. Maybe executed.
Bok: Here, the event is simply holo-recorded and spliced in with other sequences then broadcast to make the perp look like a complete idiot.
Bok: Also, his written testimony is thrown out as unreliable.
Panel 2
Now Bok narrates from a cameo. In the main panel, Kimberly Madeiras answers questions.
Bok: The other witnesses called by the artbiters were generally more forthcoming:
Caption: Kimberly Madeiras, the doll-house maven:
Kimberly: Yes, Hayami did call it, 'Le Château Périlleux,' but we thought it was some sort of dark humor.
Kimberly: No, she didn't talk much about her work, just that it was in the security business.
Panel 3
Miller enters the panel, to question Kimberly
Miller: Didn't you find it odd that someone researching for a docu would offer, what, 250 Moebits for a doll-house?
Kimberly: Not a 'doll-house.' A miniature.
Kimberly: And yes, I did think it odd, but some people do take this hobby very seriously.
Panel 4
Miller presses on. Kimberly refuses to be intimidated.
Miller: That 'miniature' was obviously evidence in Hayami's murder! Why didn't you turn it over to investigators?
Kimberly: I offered it to Smith & Holder but they weren't interested. I sold it to the first 'investigator' who showed an interest.
Kimberly: Don't go blaming me for your clients' screw-ups.
