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 1
Ralf is at the refreshment station, filling cups of guovett.
Ralf: We'll come in at 35 kalikams/second, and answer a coded hail.
Ralf: Then proceed to Campeche Rock under continual deceleration.
Eithne: That will take … another 212 kiloseconds!
Panel 2
Ralf returns to the control console, hands Eithne a mug as he regains his own seat.
Ralf: Can't be helped. We don't want to attract undue attention.
Eithne: Agreed, but … just how paranoid are these people?
Ralf: As paranoid as they need to be, under the circumstances.
Panel 3
Eithne sips her Guovett as Ralf explains.
Ralf: This is a den of outlaws.
Ralf: The Community knows of it but pretends not to. For the time being.
Ralf: You'll find some of the worst people here, and also some of the best.
