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 2068
Panel 1Stern, alone in the room, broods.
Stern (thought bubbles throughout): I mean, it couldn't have been Zondra, could it?
Stern: She's just a bimbo. A cute but kind of weird and pudding-brained play-toy.
Stern: A play-toy who … was pudding-brained enough to record our … sessions.
Stern: And then black-mail me.
Panel 2
Stern, pondering
Stern: How would I help them find her, anyway?
Stern: All I have is the number of a bank account I'm supposed to transmit my payments to.
Stern: I could find out where that is, but if it's chartered in the City, then would secrecy laws shield the account owner?
Panel 3
Stern, looking despondent.
Stern: If I tell the Coronel about the black-mail, my name will become synonymous with ‶sexual deviant idiot.″
Stern: My friends will just laugh at me, and my family might disown me anyway.
Stern: And to think I joined Relógio Céu so that my family and friends would be proud of me.
Panel 4
Stern looking even more despondent.
Stern: But what if … I talk in my sleep, or something?
Stern: Or she might have stolen the codes from me, somehow?
Stern: Then, I'm partly to blame for all those deaths, because I failed in my job.
Stern: I might as well be a traitor.
