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.

Panel 1
The Crisis Committee, as they now call themselves, re-convenes in a meeting room with a big round table.
Caption: The Crisis Committee, as they now call themselves, re-convenes in a different chamber.
Lorelei: Perhaps we should not have dismissed the ambassador so cavalierly?
Lorelei: We might have learned something.
Panel 2
Angle to include Sergio responding to Lorelei. And Sheldon chiding him in turn
Sergio: We learned that they want to spy on us and disarm us.
Sheldon: As if we didn't know that already.
Sheldon: But we didn't learn anything about this 'Society For Justice' outfit.
Panel 3
Montoya and Kang
Kang: I doubt he really had anything useful to us.
Montoya: I will speak with my contacts about these other purported terror attacks.
Achal: I believe he called them 'deadly chaos' events. Could mean anything.
Panel 4
Focus on Alyss, flanked by Lorelei and Enrique
Alyss: This was anything but a sincere offer of help.
Alyss: He went straight to 'We want to be in charge now.'
Alyss: Clearly he was testing our resolve, to learn if we could be frightened into giving up our liberty.
Strip 056
Panel 1
Kofi,
Kofi: Would we trade our essential liberty for some temporary safety? CAN we?
Kofi: That's the 64,000-Moebit question, isn't it? And I don't mean just for we assembled here.
Kofi: How easily can our people generally be terrorized into surrendering to oppression?
Panel 2
Sheldon pontificates
Sheldon: To the extent we have nurtured a culture of resilience, we have a bit of breathing room.
Sheldon: But that can evaporate quickly if we are shown to be incapable of defending the city.
Sheldon: What's our defensive status now?
