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.

Panel 1
Nicole looks towards her companions, drifting a few meters away. Murphy is still unconscious, but the Beltapes are clinging to one another.
Nicole (thought): Murphy's still unconscious – what's wrong with her?
.
Panel 2
Angle to show the Beltapes in the foreground. Their thick brows have descended to cover their eyes, and their outer ears have drawn into their heads.
Nicole (thought): Buford and Nigel are Beltapes ..
Nicole (thought): They can survive a half-hour in vacuum, but not much more.
Panel 3
Nicole looks back towards Vesta.
Nicole (thought): My implant says we're moving away from Vesta at 280 meters per second.
Nicole (thought): We're close to escape velocity but not quite.
Panel 4
Medium close-up on Nicole looking alarmed (we see her nostrils look a bit frost-bitten).
Nicole (thought): So when we fall back down, we'll hit at close to 370 meters per second!
Nicole (thought): Not even Murphy could survive that.
