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.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]

Transcript For Strip 686
Panel 1Nicole is embarrassed by her own outburst, as Ed and Chelsea regard her scornfully. Speaks to Seamus.
Antigone: Dr. O'Murchadha, if you'll give me the location and vector data I'll forward that to my people on Ceres.
Nicole (to Ed and Chelsea): That is … I mean … we found the danger?
Seamus (to Antigone): Yes, of course.
Panel 2
Looking past Antigone at Seamus.
Seamus: I'm also forwarding the data to Skywatch Services.
Antigone: The prospector network? Do you plan to stake a claim?
Panel 3
Ed and Chelsea looking at Seamus with expressions of surprised gratitude.
Seamus: In Ed and Chelsea's names, of course.
Seamus: My wedding gift to you – whoever gets to that rock first and diverts it will by Beltlaw have to share 10 percent of its wealth with whoever located it.
Panel 4
Now Chelsea looks a bit troubled. Seamus looks back at her ruefully.
Chelsea: Wait, what about the rock-wrangler who got to it first?
Seamus: Assuming he's still alive, I should think his aiming it at Ceres should negate any claim he'd have, don't you?
