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.

Transcript For Strip 11
Panel 1Nicole is cleaning her flat – dumping a box full of beer cans into a recycler chute, a broom and a few more beer cans near her feet, when her Screen beeps and flashes. Her hair is tied back again and she appears to be wearing loose-fitting, knocking-around-the-home type clothing (actually it's her Anysuit as we'll see shortly).
SFX: B-deep! B-deep! B-deep!
Panel 2
Nicole looks at her screen, we see it from over her shoulder. A message reads:
Screen text: Re: 3287206
Dr. Seamus O Murchadha wishes to interview you for the position. Please arrive at Port 724 promptly at 0800 on 05.03.566
Panel 3
Medium shot of Nicole looking both excited and a bit alarmed.
Nicole (thought): That's tomorrow morning! And I don't have job-interview clothes!
Panel 4
Turning back to her Screen, Nicole touches some virtual buttons to bring up a clothing catalog.
Nicole (thought): What to wear what to wear what to wear.
Panel 5A
Split panel. On the left, a model in a severely 'corporate' suit of clothes.
Nicole: Er, no.
Panel 5B
Split panel. On the right, a model in a frilly, feminine ensemble.
Nicole: Egads.
Panel 6A
Another split panel. On the left, a model in a hyper-stylized, tres-chic tunic and puffy-trousers with floating sleeves.
Nicole: Not really.
Panel 6B
Another split panel. On the right, a model in an attractive assemblage of vest, blouse, and full-length slacks gathered at the ankles. Nicole presses a button labeled 'Purchase.'
Nicole: That'll work.
Panel 7
Full-length shot – instantly, Nicole's clothing transforms into the clothing she just purchased. She looks down at herself, smiling.
Nicole: Not bad!
Panel 8
Suddenly, her Anysuit shorts out, revealing its true form as a high-tech leotard-and-leggings.
Nicole: Aw, crat!
SFX: Pop! fizzle-fizzle
