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
Seamus, Jesús, Nicole and Murphy enter a rocky tunnel from an airlock door. They are very nearly floating, having to move themselves along via hand-grips embedded in the walls.
Murphy: No electro-grav? The natural gravity here is less than .02 gravs ...
Hernandez: The conditions here are spartan, yes. Of necessity.
Panel 2
The four pull themselves through the tunnel.
Hernandez: We must keep our power consumption here minimized to avoid detection.
Hernandez: Besides, we rarely get visitors here.
Nicole: You never told me were 'here' is?
Panel 3
More moving through the tunnel.
Hernandez: Sorry. It's not that I don't trust you but we operate under strict need-to-know ...
Murphy: Judging by the composition of the regolith and the surface gravity, it's most likely either Pasiphaë or Carme. I would bet on the latter.
Panel 4
Hernandez looks disconcerted, Nicole annoyed. Seamus grins. Murphy looks pleased with herself.
Hernandez: Er … well, I'm not saying, but I hope you'll keep your speculations to yourself.
Seamus: I trust Murphy with my life, if that helps.
