Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 ]

Panel 1Tomás Lohman stands before Arb Rico. We can see Jenkins in the background

Lohman: I hereby tender my resignation as respondent’s avogado..

Jenkins stands to face Rico, who is also standing:
Jenkins: Can we engage you to assist in settling the distribution we come to?
Rico: I can examine it and give an opinion, for what that’s worth.
Panel 4
Jenkins faces the assembled spectators.
Jenkins: Folks, the good news is you are all going to become considerably wealthier.
Jenkins: The bad news is it’s up to us to sort out how to divide this, and this could be contentious.

Focus on Jenkins, but we see Situ Li-Liang looking on from the from row of the audience,
Jenkins: But the good news is that the Belter Compact, which we all agreed to when we signed on here, offers a solid framework for negotiation.
