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 reached our goal and then some. We want to thank all of our backers for helping us reach and surpass our goal. 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.
Because we set this up as a flexible campaign, anyone wanting to back this campaign and get a perk can do so through this Friday. For those of you still interested in backing our campaign, click on this link or on the picture to visit our campaign!
Panel 1
Back over near the monitors, Seamus (with Nicole and Murphy) speaks with Hernandez.
Hernandez: A virus?
Nicole: More like a spy-rus.
Seamus: Yes, an unexpectedly clever tactic on the part of our adversaries.
Panel 2
Hernandez and Seamus.
Seamus: When the ship sends out an S.O.S., the virus is activated, but remains dormant – and nigh-undetectable – for two hours.
Seamus: Then it causes the ship's comm system to broadcast our location and vector on specific frequencies which space-faring ships rarely use.
Panel 3
Hernandez and Seamus. Hernandez is alarmed, but Seamus calms him.
Hernandez: It's a trap deliberately set for us?!
Seamus: Or someone like us. Now aren't you glad you took my advice NOT to hack Argosy's systems from your ship?
Panel 4
Hernandez face-palms as he realizes the ramifications of the situation.
Hernandez: The Jalopy would've led the enemy right to our doorstep!
Seamus: Fortunately the EM-shield has protected us here …
Nicole: Like a giant condom!
