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.
Quantum Vibe: Château Périlleux Now On Sale! [ Oct 31, 2019 ]
How does a society without a formal government deal with crime and criminal conspiracies? In the far-future space-city known as Bubbleopolis, they do it with a mixture of wit, grit, and a culture based on rolling up one's sleeves and doing what must be done. Diana Martelli, a recent arrival, likes to call it compassionate individualism.
Big Head Press announces the release of the latest graphic novel in the QUANTUM VIBE series: Château Périlleux, in which young Diana is tasked with finding out who killed a supposedly un-killable android -- and uncovers a conspiracy which shakes the very foundations of the city and its culture.
Available now direct from Big Head Press.
The Transcript For This Page
Panel 1Diana has now stepped up and is directly between Lorelei and Byron. Diana's guards have closed ranks a bit. Cooper is speaking with Diana, flanked by his lieutenants and three other Agents (the other six having moved away).
Caption: He asked me about my whereabouts the evening Juan was taken.
Caption: So I told him about stopping by the mall, the RPLC event ('just looking out of curiosity'), and getting followed and eluding the follower; the trashed apartment ...
Cooper: But why didn't you contact us immediately about your apartment?
Panel 2
Diana gesticulates as she talks.
Caption: In order to explain that I'd have to reveal details of our investigation. So, I fibbed.
Diana: I … I thought the building gerente would take care of that.
Diana: I panicked, okay? And I fled, and kept trying to contact Juan but he didn't answer.
Panel 3
Cooper is looking intensely at Diana, making up his mind. We can see one of Byron's cameras in the frame.
Caption: Then, he paused. I was worried he'd ask me about the dive I fled to, or the hotel I stayed in.
Caption: (I preferred to keep those hiding places a secret. Just in case.)
Caption: Or, that he might decide to make a grab for me after all.
Panel 4
Cooper is displaying a holographic business card, floating at his raised fingertip. The others in the frame look more relaxed.
Caption: However …
Cooper: Thank you, Senhora Martelli, that's all I have to ask you, now.
Cooper: If you have anything to add later, please contact me directly.
Caption: I might have felt relieved, but this was a bit too easy.
