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
Exterior view of Li’s ship entering the thin atmosphere of the planet Azmodo
William (from ship): Gravity-Drive landing? Why not just ‘Pop’ down to the spaceport?
Li: Folks here consider that rude, and this place has Oresme Shields out the yin-yang.
Panel 2
William is gazing at the approaching rocky landscape in a monitor.
William: So you haven’t explained why these contacts of yours might help us find our target.
Li: Okay, so you’ve heard of ‘Society For Justice?’
Panel 3
William and Li
William: Yeah they’re some kind of bogey-man the Galactic Council has cooked up to blame their for their murders.
Li: Heh. That’s half-right. It started as a psy-op to keep the Council distracted, and to weed out the moles and idiots. Then they found it useful to blame our front group for their own shenannigans.
Panel 4
William and Li
William: Ah … I have two questions.
William: Who are ‘we’ in this situation?
William: And two: keep the Council distracted from what exactly?
Panel 5
Focus on Li, the EPCL logo appears over his shoulder.
Li: This is all confidential, understand?
Li: We call ourselves ‘El Projeto Cosmos Libre’
Li: We’re a network of free colonies scattered across 23 galaxies, operating independently but also pooling information and resources for mutual gain.
Panel 6
Exterior of ship approaching a domed, well, hamlet, with some likewise-domed industrial plant at the horizon.
William (from ship): ‘The Free Cosmos Project,’ eh? That sounds corny enough it just might work.
Li: I hope it does, because otherwise we are screwed.
