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.)
Panel 1
Medium shot of Alex at the table, looking cornered but still insistent.
Sten (aloud): No. I did not give Zondra the codes. I did not give anyone the codes.
Stern: So far as I know, someone could have hacked into the system, someone inside could have ...
Glass (OP): No, Senhor Stern ...
Panel 2
Glass stares down at Stern icily.
Glass: We have triple-checked our information systems. There has been no hack or leak.
Glass: And there is no evidence at all someone ‶inside″ would have given them away ...
Glass: … except for you.
Panel 3
Glass and Stern:
Glass: Senhor Stern, I KNOW you are hiding something. I can smell it on you.
Glass: You were a well-regarded member of the team. I don't know why you would stoop to treachery like this.
Glass: You may have a few more cycles to think things over.
Panel 4
Glass and Campos turn to exit the room. Leaving Stern to look helplessly after them.
Glass: You're protecting someone, and unless you can show us a more responsible party …
Glass: All of your property will be taken from you. Your friends will abandon you. Your family will disown you.
Glass: The name 'Alex Stern' will become synonymous with 'traitor.'
