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.
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
Lorelei is not amused.
Lorelei: Gourdammit, Marty, this is no joking matter.
Lorelei: Millions of lives are at stake here!
Lorelei: You should begin testing right away!
Dominic (OP): Sure thing, Senhora deCleyre ...
Panel 2
Dominic (Marty) explains, ticking off points on his fingers.
Dominic: All we need to do is:
Dominic: 1) Find a massive iron rock shaped like a missile.
Dominic: 2) Accelerate it up to 90 percent of lightspeed.
Dominic: 3) Get someone to shoot it at us without warning, to see if we can spot it in time.
Panel 3
Focus on Lorelei with Alyss, the latter looking at the former with amusement.
Lorelei: How long would that take to set up?
Dominic (OP): The second part will take at least a year, if nothing goes wrong and we use a smaller rock.
Lorelei: Oh. That's a problem.
Panel 4
Back to Dominic, looking darkly mischievous.
Dominic: Long before then, our mysterious 'friends' will likely take care of the third part for us.
Dominic: Every part of my system is functioning. The simulations all look good.
Dominic: But the real test … well, that will be the only one that counts.
