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 42
Panel 1View of Mars (aka Huǒxīng) from space. It is largely terra-formed, with an ocean spanning much of the northern hemisphere and the mighty Valles Marineris spread just south of the equator, and itself partially filled with water. There are water clouds but only about a fourth as much coverage as on Terra.
Caption: Huǒxīng, aka Mars.
Caption (Seamus): 'We have the Helio-Flyer reserved and I have an assistant now who will pilot the craft, since I will be unable to perform that task.'
Panel 2
Low-aerial view of a mansion, which has a broad balcony extending outward from its third storey. At this distance we can just make out an elderly man in something that looks like an overstuffed Barcalounger, facing the low Martian Sun.
Seamus: 'You'll get to meet her when we get up to your neighborhood. You'll like her – she's very bùqūbùnáo.'
Panel 3
Medium full-shot of the man, our Po Xu-ke, listening to Seamus on his own Screen device. Po looks ancient, bald-headed, is wrapped in saffron robes in his mobile barcalounger.
Seamus: 'I will of course inform you when Stage 1 is successfully completed. Until then, I remain your friend, Seamus Ó Murchadha .'
Panel 4
A beautiful femiform android, walks up next to Po. He looks ahead wistfully through sightless eyes.
Android: A message from a friend, Master Po?
Po: One of the few I have left anymore, I'm afraid.
