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 279
Panel 1Re-establish the scene in the hotel lobby. Nicole and Rando seated, angled-facing each other. Nicole is looking serious as a heart attack.
Nicole: Come clean, Greene. Your interest in me is professional, isn't it?
Rando: I – professional?
Panel 2
Medium c/u on Nicole, looking sideways in Rando's direction.
Nicole: I looked you up on Who Dat.
Nicole: You are in the publicity business, Greene.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Nicole and Greene. Green looks, strangely, relieved.
Nicole: Since my Sun-dive my mailbox is full of entreaties from publicists.
Nicole: Well, you should know I already have a very good publicist, and don't need a second one.
Panel 4
Nicole poses what she thinks is a challenge. Greene simply smiles back at her.
Nicole: So. Do you still want to spend time showing me around Aldrinopolis, knowing that you're not going to make a gram off of me?
Panel 5
Medium c/u of Greene, head bowed like the kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Greene: I … well, you have me dead to rights.
Greene: I saw you leaving the Bully Goat, recognized you, and followed you to the Offworld Lounge.
Panel 6
Two-shot of Green and Nicole. Green is a smoothie.
Greene: And I have to admit I'm disappointed there won't be a business deal here.
Greene: But I'd be even more disappointed if this means I won't get to spend time with you during your all-too brief stay in my town.
Panel 7
Nicole gives Greene the hairy eye-ball. Greene rolls his eyes.
Greene: And yeah, I'll still hope that some where down the road you'll need a new publicist, and call me.
Panel 8
Nicole stands.
Nicole: OK, so long as you're straight with me, we can be friends.
Nicole: Let's go.
