The Horror Under Glass, pg 10 If you're confused about whether Rin is tangible or not from moment to moment, so often are we. For some reason, light from our universe still reflects off her normally. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

The Horror Under Glass, pg 9 Rin tells me it goes *PTIF!* when she phase shifts because of "atmospheric cavitation" and it goes *PTOF!* when she re-enters realspace because, quote, "the opposite I guess" #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

This is the dawn of the post-factual age, the time of hyperreality, the dissociation of sign from signifier. We don't have to like it, but we might as well go along for the ride, with clear eyes and militant compassion. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

You've seen it, on the margins of credibility, between the deepfakes and the live leaks and the slop. Something so uniquely strange that you stop and think, "why WOULD someone make this up?" You never know. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Now you know the Transhumanauts! team. And none too soon! What I'm calling the "Mana Advent" is sweeping the globe, injecting a volatile dose of the supernatural into our lovely pre-existing hyper-capitalist techno-hell. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

As a field agent, the living skeleton is even more durable than Davarius and has adult human strength in a body that weighs as much as a child. And there are many other handy traits of skeletude. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

The skeleton's reconciliation to modernity is ongoing. The human it once was may be long gone, but a thoughtful, soulful, earnest, fearless person yet remains, fighting to protect the future of flesh and bone alike. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Luckily for anthropologist and field researcher Dr. Rozsi Rákóczi and her grad students, she knew one insanely open-minded colleague: me. I magically imbued the skeleton with basic knowledge from the missing centuries. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

That skeleton then began to move. Eyewitnesses say it first surged with such energy that it seemed nearly feral, only to assert its higher self and calm the eldritch flames. Then it started speaking. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Meanwhile, across the globe on a Hungarian hillside, a different accident revealed an archeological find when loggers felled a tree and found a medieval human skeleton engulfed in centuries of old-growth verdure. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Thanks to luck, pluck, and nous, Rin left the underworld and became a lab tech at the KEK High Energy Accelerator in Tsukuba, only to experience a dimensional accident. (Transhumanauts! concept art by Guy Warley!) #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Rin is Okinawan, born to an American serviceman and a Japanese mother. Trapped between two worlds, then as now, she didn't fit in and nearly became a career criminal. She left that path, but the skills remain. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Her power makes her a perfect infiltrator and precision striker. She, like the rest of us, made mistakes and suffered hardships in her past that left her with a unique set of hard-earned skills. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

A burst of trans-dimensional radiation entangled her particles with higher-order universe(s). A biological computer implant stabilized her and enables shifts. Momentum from our universe is conserved. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Let's start with Rin Tangible (HER idea of a nom de guerre, not mine), if only because I've more background on her. Top-level summary: At-will full intangibility, permanently intangible head and arm. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

To this strategic and tactical core, we added two serendipitous arrivals, or refugees perhaps, to the world of the weird (that we're aware of). One is super-scientific in origin, the other...the opposite. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Racism, class war, the military-industrial complex—Cruff, a Baltimorean, got the full American brunt. It pushed him to physical, mental, and moral extremes. So, to everyone's benefit, he went rogue. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Wrecking a tank with one punch is great, but the equal and opposite force on the puncher's body is severe. So they gave him accelerated healing: he breaks your bones and his own, then mends in moments. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Davarius Cruff is the bleeding edge. Superhuman strength and speed, augmented heart, lungs, and muscles. He was called "Project Bonebreaker," for a reason...but not exactly the reason you'd expect. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Next we needed a tactician and field leader, someone with combat experience willing to combat horrors beyond imagining. We found him on SaawDat posting in s/lonegunmen. He was a government cyborg. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

As for Alton's fate, well, suffice to say for now that our bond is still fierce but our relationship has become long-distance. He's giving radical new meaning to the old saying "terminally online." #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

In short, I combined my talent for poetry with an abruptly-newfound love of bargaining with unfathomable entities. I emerged a witch of rhyme, with a Muse severe, short on time and long on fear. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

The eldritch world was awakening and the more we beheld, the more looked back at us. Survival demanded more power, more knowledge. So I and my partner Alton Rinkledge took drastic steps to obtain both. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

I continued in academia, teaching folklore and literature. I even found love. Then we found some very strange things waiting in the margins of history and math and the occult. A Pandora's box... #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing #scifi #horror #cyberpunk

Where even to start with me? I had "gifted kid syndrome" like mad, I mean I graduated from Cambridge at age 15...with a literature degree, but still, a lot of pressure. And then you find out your "gifts" aren't a golden ticket. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing

Okay, enough teasers, let's get to it. Transhumanauts!: What is it? Well, we're a team. So, who? I'm your host, Artemis Kaine, aka Arkaine the sorceress. Poet and podcaster. Pact magician. Surfing the crest of the Mana Advent. #TranshumanautsComic #indiecomics #selfpublishing
