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.
Goal Reached! [ Dec 11, 2024 ]
We reached our goal and then some. We want to thank all of our backers for helping us reach and surpass our goal. We also want to take this time to thank everyone who has contributed to supporting our strip by buying our books and reading the strip regularly so we can earn a little advertising revenue.
Because we set this up as a flexible campaign, anyone wanting to back this campaign and get a perk can do so through this Friday. For those of you still interested in backing our campaign, click on this link or on the picture to visit our campaign!
Panel 1
A pair of silhouetted heads are reviewing a video recording of the previous scene. One head has close-cropped black hair, the other is bald.
Caption: Not long afterward:
Bald guy: Did the woman identify who supplied the bomb?
Black hair guy: No. She was just a mule, didn’t know anything useful.
Panel 2
Reverse angle, now we can see that Bald Guy is Kāng and Black Hair Guy is Sergio Cooper.
Sergio: Ro-Jo named a source and we’re checking that out, but ...
Sergio: … we don’t yet have enough information to get a warrant from an arb.
Kāng: And yet Stouder’s crew were able to get wind of the plot and intercept the package.
Panel 3
Kāng and Cooper
Cooper: We have to stand by the Charter or there’s not much point defending this city. Still, we’re closing in on the hubs of this terrorist network and have already made some arrests.
Cooper: So, how is the combat-support group shaping up?
Kāng: {Sigh} Not as well as I’d hoped.
Panel 4
Kāng and Cooper
Kāng: Half the volunteers are raw, in dire need of the most basic training.
Kāng: The other half are veterans of several different outfits and we have to un-train all their bad habits.
Kāng: But the LARPers, they’re the worst.
Cooper: Tell me about it.
