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 ]

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Panel 1
Medium c/u on Heidelberg, looking particularly sour
Heidelberg: As I recall in his last project he spent a third of the budget furnishing his own office. Much of which mysteriously disappeared after he left the project.
Heidelberg: So who, then, is supervising Mordy?
Panel 2
Two-shot of Trudeau and Heidelberg
Trudeau: Er … I suppose I am.
Heidelberg: That's right. And you'd better watch him closely.
Trudeau: This time there will be no skimming and especially no screw-ups. Do you understand me?
Panel 3
Trudeau stands 'at attention' as Heidelberg gives him his marching orders.
Trudeau: Yes, Minister
Heidelberg: You will travel to Novo Paolo – discretely – make contact with Montanha-Flores personally, let him know he's being watched.
Trudeau: Yes, Minister
Panel 4
Heidelberg turns her attention towards a screen on her desk as Trudeau hurries away.
Heidelberg: Good. Now, go and don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.
Trudeau: Yes, Minister
Trudeau (thought): You insufferable €#ñŧ.
