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.
Project Complete! [ Oct 31, 2023 ]
We made it! We exceeded our target goal and we're wrapping up the loose ends. Big thanks to our project backers. We're your biggest fans for supporting our project to create the Omnibus hard bound edition of Quantum Vibe: The Murphy Drive>, a collection of the first three volumes of the Quantum Vibe saga.
Over the next week or so, Scott will be assembling the book pages for printing. We expect to have the printed books and other items on hand and ready for ship in December 2023. The E-book edition of the Omnibus should be available for download from DriveThruComics to those backers who selected that award. Vouchers will be sent via email.
Panel 1
A fairly featureless corridor, at the end of which is a desk with a bored security guard, next to a heavy door.
Caption: Bubbleopolis doesn't really do jails, or prisons.
Caption: Most lock-ups are ad-hoc arrangements, only intended for temporary use.
Panel 2
Closer-in on the guard at a desk. Now the guard is getting zapped by a zinger coming from POV.
Caption: So they don't really have a conception of 'high security' beyond enclosing the place in an Oresme Shield to prevent unauthorized Murph-ing.
SFX: ZIING
Panel 3
Looking down an inner corridor where there's a room with a doorway that is open but a glowing doorjamb indicates an invisible barrier.
Caption: Ah, an EM-screen rather than metal bars. At least they're not completely primitive.
Panel 4
Now looking straight through the doorway, we see Alex Stern laying in his bunk, looking up in surprise.
POV: Hello, Alex. Keeping busy?
