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.
Referral Contest Update [ Jun 17, 2021 ]
UPDATE: Art in progress
We could use your help getting more people to contribute to our campaign. So, we're launching a referral contest. The campaign backer whose referrals raise the most money for our campaign, will win a one-of-a-kind ink-on-paper drawing of Alyss, Hugo and Murphy, drawn and water-colored by QUANTUM VIBE creator Scott Bieser!
At right is a "study" (in the art biz, a sort of practice run on the final drawing) of what you might win: Alyss, Hugo and Murphy enjoying a rare vacation on Nuveau Mo'orea. Scott is still working on it while he's not making the strip, and we plan to reveal works in progress very soon. It will be a unique creation a real QUANTUM VIBE fan would love to have.
You must have an IndieGogo account to participate. Go to this page for more info on how to participate.
Get started now. The campaign ends, July 5th, 2021.
Transcript For Strip 2163
Panel 1Bok is reporting the news on a livestream.
Bok: This just in: Mere moments after the first explosion, a SECOND blast has destroyed the Miguel Morrison Convention Center in Aroeira Sphere.
Bok: The Center was a mere 250 meters from Clínica do Renascimento, which also sustained some damage.
Panel 2
Bok speaks from an inset while the main panel shows medical workers scrambling over patients in a triage/first aid scene. We should be able to spot Otto among the workers.
Bok: Nonetheless, the Clínica is serving as a triage center for bombing victims, as medical teams work feverishly to save lives.
Panel 3
Bok continues, a stock 5-shot of the Five Pillars filling the background behind him.
Bok: Meanwhile negotiations with the Galactic Council continue in pursuit of a Security Treaty, as they're calling it.
Bok: I am told an agreement is coming 'very soon,' which might help us identify the shadowy group behind the attacks.
Panel 4
Closer on Bok, giving a wry grin.
Bok: What remains to be seen is, what will the cost of the Council's assistance come to?
Bok: Some sources suggest the I.C. Wants 'qualified immunity' for its employees working here, and suspending some privacy protections.
Bok: As if even the Pillars could enforce such changes.
