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 1306
Panel 1Medium 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.
