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.
Kickstarter Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]

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.
