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 1150

Panel 1
In Mr. Foot's classroom, Bok, carrying an electronic tablet, is walking forward to take his place beside the instructor.
Foot: You actually have your essay prepared on time?
Bok: Don't I always?
Foot: No, but now I'm intrigued. Please begin.

Panel 2
As Bok speaks, reading from his tablet, the hologram behind him shows the planet Windemere, with a diagram indicating its protective magnetic 'Van Allen' field. Windemere is a blue-green-white marble, resembling Terra.
Bok: 'Windemere was one of the first-wave colonies, established early in the First Great Expansion on a T1-class planet with natural magnetic fields.
Bok: 'Rich in resources and with attractive climates, it quickly developed into a wealthy and highly-populated world, settled by Terrans, Lunans, and Huoxingese alike.'

Panel 3
Bok continues. Dialog fills most of the panel.
Bok: 'Over the next two centuries the settlers from the various old worlds established their own cities and territories, under the auspices of the old Mercantile Corporations: GENSAXWAL, OmegaTek, and HuoJinGong.
Bok: 'While social friction developed from the outset among the diverse cultures, peace was maintained by extending the trade agreements established by their respective founding Mercorps in the Home System.
Bok: 'Also, by widespread distribution of Dynalube at the block parties.'
SFX: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
