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 Now Return You To Your Regularly Scheduled Program. [ Mar 1, 2021 ]
Texas has returned to more normal winter weather conditions, power is back on and Internet connections are working. Which means Scott has new Quantum Vibe strips ready to go this week. We appreciate everyone's understanding and patience as we emerged from hibernation.
And if you haven't already, please help us keep the lights on by buying Quantum Vibe books (in print or digital) along with any of Big Head Press's other thoughtful stories.
Transcript For Strip 2079
Panel 1In space, an external view of a perimeter station, beyond which we can see something streaking past.
Caption: Perimeter Station 273 detected a high-speed object appearing at coordinates 18:57:102 and moving toward the City. It reported the event via q-wave.
Caption: Spectral analysis indicated it was made of iron and moving at .915C
Panel 2
In the distance, the City. In the left foreground, we see the missile streaking towards it.
Caption: More reports from tracking stations inward verify the sighting and automated systems quickly refine the object's projected track.
Caption: By the time the track is solved to within 10 meters, the object is 20 seconds from impact with the City.
Panel 3
The city is noticably closer now, but a large green hexagon has appeared in the missile's path.
Caption: Deslocação Dinámico has had the ability to project Dislocator Portals at a distance for a few decades, now.
Caption: But no one has ever projected one at such a distance and been able to target it so precisely.
Panel 4
Panel split horizontally. In the upper half, we see the missile enter the portal. In the lower one, we see it streaking away towards a new destination: a double black-hole.
Caption: And this is how you stop an unstoppable force from smacking you in the face.
