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.

Panel 1
Medium shot of Diana at the computer terminal, fingering the keypad with one hand while she rests her chin on the other hand.
Diana (thought): I didn't realize there was so much background information to take in, but ...
Diana: Kornbluth is one of four outfits in the business of reviewing and quality-rating a variety of goods used in manufacturing all kinds of products.
Diana: I don't know why they need four organizations. Isn't one enough?
Panel 2
Diana at the terminal.
Diana (thought): It looks like most functions are duplicated here. Seems wasteful.
Diana: Although I suppose, if one of them fails to perform, it's good to have alternative sources.
Diana: Anyway, this 'werpolitzi' stuff is an silicon nano-fiber module that gets used and consumed in the process of making lots of things, from 'bubbs,' whatever those are, to 'anysuits' like the one I'm wearing.
Panel 3
Diana leans back in her chair, stretching.
Diana (thought): So, I guess low-quality werpolitzi is a pretty big deal.
Diana: But I don't understand … if buyers are noticing that the quality is falling, why don't they just turn to other suppliers?
Diana: There's so much more I need to learn about this crazy place.
