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.
Referral Contest Update [ Jun 17, 2021 ]
UPDATE: Art in progress
We could use your help getting more people to contribute to our campaign. So, we're launching a referral contest. The campaign backer whose referrals raise the most money for our campaign, will win a one-of-a-kind ink-on-paper drawing of Alyss, Hugo and Murphy, drawn and water-colored by QUANTUM VIBE creator Scott Bieser!
At right is a "study" (in the art biz, a sort of practice run on the final drawing) of what you might win: Alyss, Hugo and Murphy enjoying a rare vacation on Nuveau Mo'orea. Scott is still working on it while he's not making the strip, and we plan to reveal works in progress very soon. It will be a unique creation a real QUANTUM VIBE fan would love to have.
You must have an IndieGogo account to participate. Go to this page for more info on how to participate.
Get started now. The campaign ends, July 5th, 2021.
Transcript For Strip 961
Panel 1Now Seamus stands at the head table. Antigony remains seated, Johanna remains standing. We see the back of Murphy, and a bit of Nicole as she lays hands on Murphy's arm and shoulder.
Seamus: Be still, my dear Murphy. I know what I'm doing.
Seamus: Yes, I was Theophilus Farnsworth. And Benedito Fernandes, and Stanley Freeman.
Panel 2
Seamus from behind, speaking to the assembly who listen raptly.
Seamus: At 533 Terran years, I am also the oldest living person.
Seamus: And 462 years ago, in my madness, I unleashed an ungodly Hell on humankind.
Seamus: An act for which I've been quite rightly despised, and condemned.
Panel 3
Medium close-up on Seamus, looking tired.
Seamus: In the centuries since I have worked to the best of my abilities to make amends.
Seamus: I have given mankind technologies to help rebuild Terra and colonize new worlds.
Seamus: I have helped to liberate Luna, and the Belt, and establish the L-5 Station as a free and thriving space-city.
Panel 4
Seamus looks over at Johanna, who only stares back at him.
Seamus: But I suppose that despite all my works, I must at last face my victims – or at least their descendants and heirs.
Seamus: For considering what I've done, and why, I cannot gainsay anyone else's demand for retribution.
