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 ]

Transcript For Strip 1855
Panel 1The four enter an elevator car, which looks a bit peculiar in that the two walls on either side are bowed outward.
Diana: What, are we using a hopper? I'd kinda rather not ...
Areum: It's not a hopper. It's an old-style tram, adapted for perpendicular gravity fields.
Panel 2
Simplified diagram of the Baxter Building, highlighting the tram shafts running through the six-winged structure.
Caption: A tram is something like a 'lift,' or elevator, but it can rotate or re-align itself to shafts running in different directions.
Caption: Or, in a micro-grav environment, different directions of 'down.'
Panel 3
Inside the car, everyone suddenly lurches to stage right, as the car re-aligns to a new shaft. Diana accidentally bumps against Wook, who blushes a bit.
Diana: Well, this isn't so ba – uff!
Dong: Those abrupt turns are one drawback to this venerable technology.
Panel 4
The four emerge from the tram landing into an interior space which is clean but still has low lighting.
Diana: Are we almost wherever we're going? I need to use the little girls' room.
Areum: What are you intending to do with little girls?
Diana: With …? I need to use a toilet, you doofus.
Areum: I do not wish to hear any further details.
