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 115

Stone: I think I know what you're feeling.
Stone: Our agent training also emphasizes avoiding violence, using words and other non-violent tactics whenever possible.
Panel 2
Two-shot, Stone and Nicole. Both sitting in the same position, leaning forward with elbows on knees. A bonding moment.
Stone: But in my third year on this job, I did have to kill someone, to protect an innocent.
Stone: For weeks afterward, I second-guessed everything I did.
Stone: But I eventually I realized the problem with practical pacifism.
Panel 3
Medium close-up on Stone.
Stone: There's only one way to avoid ever getting into dangerous situations ...
Stone: And that's to avoid any kind of situation. Lock yourself away from the world.
Panel 4
Full 2-shot of Stone and Nicole. Stone is standing, placing a reassuring hand on Nicole's shoulder.
Stone: In other words, don't ever do anything interesting. Don't grow. Don't change.
Stone: And what sort of life is that?
