Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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.
Updates delayed by Thundersnow [ Feb 21, 2021 ]
Scott's home and studio were without electric power for three days after the freak winter ice/snow storm hit Texas last week.

QUANTUM VIBE will resume uploads on March 1, 2021

Otto: Uh … never?
Caption: As it happens, lights are not the only thing in the city that requires power. There's also ...

The light comes back on, but so does the gravity. The people, chairs and drinks suddenly fall to the floor.
