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.
Goal Reached! [ Dec 11, 2024 ]

We also want to take this time to thank everyone who has contributed to supporting our strip by buying our books and reading the strip regularly so we can earn a little advertising revenue.

Panel 3
Nicole Avatar strides up the corridor, like she knows where she's going.
Nicole: Ventura, I am in you.
Ventura (Disembodied): That was old before Dr. O'Murchadha was born.
Nicole: Old, but pithy. Now, how about a path to your motor sequencing matrix?
Panel 4
The corridor abruptly ends, open to a large space of light-lines arrayed in all directions. In front of where the corridor floor ends is a floating platform with half-railing and a console.
Ventura: Path established.
Ventura: I'm still not sure this is a good idea.
Nicole: Think of it as an upgrade. Don't worry, I'm a professional.
