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.

Transcript For Strip 238
Panel 1Overhead view of the shuttle descending towards the lunar surface, a bit more than a thousand kilometers below. We can clearly see domed craters in the mountains and some airskin-covered stretches in the plains.
Pilot: Attention passengers, this is your pilot.
Pilot: We are on track for Aldrinopolis, estimated arrival time is 1 hour, 25 minutes.
Panel 2
In the passenger cabin, looking over a row of seat-backs, and some random passengers' heads, at the next row of seat-backs, which have monitors built into them. The monitors show a camera view from the bow of the shuttle, towards their destination.
Pilot: Passengers may view our progress on their seat-back monitors.
Pilot: Using your arm-rest controls you can switch views from nose-cam to schematic ...
Panel 3
A shot of the control cabin – there are no humans or even androids present – just machinery. The pilot's voice comes from one of the consoles.
Pilot: We have just passed the Sea of Vapors and will be crossing the Sea of Tranquility on our final approach.
Panel 4
Nicole and Seamus, sitting in their seats in the front row. Seamus is ignoring the pilot, doing something with his Screen. Nicole is intently watching the monitor, which is on the cabin bulkhead in front of her (OP).
Pilot: In approximately 10 minutes the monitor will mark the location of 'Tranquility Base,' where the first men landed on Luna, just four weeks shy of 511 years ago.
