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 Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]

Panel 1
Exterior view of Murphy's Pockrocket, blazing along.
Murphy (thoughtsend, from inside rocket): I'm in a pockrocket you should be able to see on the ship's radar.
Murphy: I'm on a faster track but right now I'm close enough we can converse.
Panel 2
Cutaway view of the rocket to show Murphy standing in the interior of the shield-cone. There's a rucksack and an overnight bag at her feet.
Murphy (thoughtsend): Although I can change course and rendezvous with Cissonius, with the Captain's permission.
Murphy: And yours, of course.
Panel 3
Cut to Seamus in the Control Deck. He's now sitting on the rear bulkhead, his feet dangling in the hatchway. Bill is looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Seamus (thoughtsend): Murphy, listen carefully: Nicole has been kidnapped!
Seamus: A Pinocchio has taken her to a freighter passing about 5 gigameters abeam.
Panel 4
Medium close-up on Murphy, her jaw set, her eyes narrowed and glowing red.
Murphy (thoughtsend): A Pinocchio?
Murphy: I'd like the position and vector for that freighter, please.
