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.

Panel 1
Bok standing on his Las Noticías Indelicadas virtual set, streaming a newscast:
Bok: The citynet is howling with complaints and pleas for help and information.
Bok: Notably quiet has been the Intergalactic Council Legation.
Bok: But Legation Director Mordecai Montanha-Flores did issue a statement late yesterday:
Panel 2
Cut to potato-boxed image of Mordy, looking preturbed from behind his desk, making his statement:
Mordy: We categorically and emphatically deny any involvement of the Intergalactic Council with this ‘Universal Freedom Legion’ or it’s so-called ‘Liberateurs.’
Mordy: As clearly the city’s leaders are failing to protect the citizens, we are closing the Legation to all visitors until further notice.
Caption: Recorded yesterday.
Panel 3
Cut to the SchildHaus under assault by Snappers. Bok narrates from an inset.
Bok: Another focus of combat is the venerated SchildHaus, an exclusive steak-and-brew eatery.
Bok: Whether the rumors that this building also houses the city’s external shield controls are true, the invaders seem to believe it.
Panel 4
Cut to Jerome, with his Noticícias Increditável set.
Jerome: Apparently the Pillars’ idea that the Shield House could hide in plain view has not proved-out.
Jerome: Perhaps the city’s heavy reliance on Deslocação Dinámico’s shielding technology may not save Bubbleopolis in this crisis.
Jerome: Many voices are demanding the Pillars request assistance from the Intergalactic Council, and denouncing those who would suggest the IGC is involved in these attacks.
Panel 5
Jerome narrates as in the background, Eva Jeanne roars past the SchildHaus, guns blazing.
Jerome: So far defence has seemed completely haphazard, disorganized, with the big guns jumping from one battle to the next.
Jerome: Where are Kāng Min-Chèng and his militia, Demônios de Combate?
Panel 6
Cut to Kāng, looking out a window with high-tech binoculars. A lieutenant is nearby behind him.
Kāng: Any sign we’ve been detected?
Lieutenant: None so far, sir.
Kāng: The element of surprise will be crucial. There must be no mis-steps here.
