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 1161
Panel 1Cut to: Aunt Dorothy's bedroom. Dorothy is placing items in a suitcase laid open on the bed. Bok is standing next to her.
Bok: We're moving?
Dorothy: Accommodations has assigned us a larger apartment, so we have room for your father, and the things he needs.
Bok: So, get your things together. We're going to the new place this evening.
Panel 2
Dorothy is closing the lid to her suitcase. She looks quite contented. Bok looks troubled.
Bok: New place? Where?
Dorothy: Oh, not far. It's in this tower, but in a different section.
Dorothy: It was recently renovated, I'm told. It should be quite nice once we're in.
Panel 3
Dorothy lays another, smaller suitcase atop the one she just closed. Bok is looking annoyed.
Bok: So now we have to move. What a pain in the ass.
Dorothy: Bolivar, when you're older, you'll understand how lucky we are.
Dorothy: Our society cares for us, takes care of our needs.
Panel 4
Bok has his arms crossed in defiance. Now Dorothy, putting more stuff in the smaller suitcase, is getting agitated.
Bok: Oh, sure, after it steals our brains.
Dorothy: Hush, child! What happened to your father …
Dorothy: … must have been necessary to maintain the social order.
Dorothy: Do you think Corrections does these things to be evil?
Panel 5
Bok begins to walk away, speaking through gritted teeth. Now Dorothy is getting angry – or is it fearful? She grabs his arm.
Bok: Corrections can get stuffed. The 'social order' can get stuffed.
Dorothy: Grow up, Bolivar! Do you want to go back to the old ways? The dog-eat-dog days when everyone competed for dominance over everyone else? When billions of people were sick and starving while a lucky few lived in luxury?
Panel 6
Bok pulls free of Dorothy's grasp.
Bok: Of course not. Do you think I'm stupid?
Bok: There has to be a better way than this. I don't know what it is, yet.
Bok: But I'm going to figure it out.
