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.

Transcript For Strip 2148
Panel 1View of Alyss' booth from the aisle. We can see Alyss' usual bodyguards standing on duty, discreetly out of sight of the occupants. Angled so we can see Diana most clearly.
Diana: Well, imagine being stranded on an alien planet with no access to your bank account or even your friends' telecodes.
Alyss: That sounds rather nightmarish. What did you do?
Panel 2
Focus on Diana. Gesturing as she talks like a good Italian.
Diana: Fortunately I was spotted by a couple of fans I didn't know I had.
Diana: Do you remember that Byron Tchaikovski vidstream that Lorelei deCleyre put me on, five years ago?
Diana: When I was dressed-up like some bumpkin from the Planet Nowhere?

Panel 3
Alyss is looking a bit more relaxed, dropping her guard.
Alyss: {Giggle} Yeah, I always wondered what kind of hack stylist did your makeup?
Diana: Some flunky of Tchaikovsky's, I think. No matter.
Diana: Anyway, Gus and Emily Tayler saw the vid and later on the docu that I made with Bolivar Clark.
Panel 4
Flashback scene of Diana at a dinner table with the kindly Gus and Emily. Diana speaks from cameos, one per line.
Diana: When I explained my situation they took me under their wing, fed an sheltered me, and were setting me up with passage back home when …
