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 ]

Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3) 30 day Indiegogo campaign.

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.

Transcript For Strip 2134

Panel 1
In the control room, Murphy and Hugo are still being squeezed into their crash couches.
Murphy: Errnnh … 5000 seconds … how much longer --?
Hugo: Oh, I think 5 million kilometers is far enough, we should be past the shield.
Panel 2
The crushing acceleration has ended, Murphy and Hugo relax a bit but the crash-couches remain as they stand in their diases.
Murphy: Whuff! That's a relief.
Hugo: Now let's hope there aren't any more layers of shields.
Panel 3
Polyphemus pops into a new region, a bit above the plane of the rings.
Murphy (cameo): Okay, we're now 12.38 gigameters from where we were attacked.
Hugo (cameo): We must now bleed off most of our excess speed before we get there.
Panel 4
In the control room, Murphy and Hugo are again squeezed into their crash-couches.
Murphy: Nrf … High-delta deceleration is no more fun than acceleration.
Hugo: Be glad that I thought to turn the whole ship rather than just invert the thrusters.
