Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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.
Project Complete! [ Oct 31, 2023 ]
We made it! We exceeded our target goal and we're wrapping up the loose ends. Big thanks to our project backers. We're your biggest fans for supporting our project to create the Omnibus hard bound edition of Quantum Vibe: The Murphy Drive, a collection of the first three volumes of the Quantum Vibe saga.
Over the next week or so, Scott will be assembling the book pages for printing. We expect to have the printed books and other items on hand and ready for ship in December 2023. The E-book edition of the Omnibus should be available for download from DriveThruComics to those backers who selected that award. Vouchers will be sent via email.
Transcript For Strip 2442
Panel 1Jerome Falstaff, looking very worried, broadcasting on his Noticícias Increditável channel.
Falstaff: We have received a … most disturbing communique from the executive in charge of the Libérateurs.
Falstaff: I present it to you here in the interest of informing my viewers, but without endorsement.
Panel 2
Cut to a scene with Amelia Orme-Colbert in front, behind her is poor Dexter, tied to a chair and flanked by two Libérateurs.
AOC: This is Amelia Orme-Colbert, Senior Executive in charge of the Libérateur forces.
AOC: Despite our entreaties, you Novo Paoloans continue to resist our attempts to Liberate you from the oligarchs who rule this city.
Panel 3
AOC continues:
AOC: Hours ago, a strike force from your so-called ‘Pillars’ invaded the Cedar Park Villas, where dozens of citizens were kept under our protection, kidnapped them, and murdered several of our Libérateurs.
AOC: We cannot allow this sort of behavior to continue. We will fulfill our mission to bring this city into the family of universal humanity, no matter the difficulties.
Panel 4
AOC gestures towards Dexter and his guards.
AOC: Fortunately, we were able to capture one of the insurrectionists, which you see here.
AOC: It seems there is only one way to convince you people that resistance to our assistance is futile:
Panel 5
One of the guards pulls out a blaster and blows Dexter’s brains out.
SFX: ZANG!
Panel 6
AOC fills the panel.
AOC: We would very much prefer not to resort to such measures.
