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.
Goal Reached! [ Dec 11, 2024 ]

Panel 1
Alyss gets professorial again.
Alyss: Overcoming obstacles and challenges while growing up stimulates brain growth.
Alyss: It increases the connections between neurons.
Alyss: If the challenges become too stressful, of course, that can have adverse effects as well.
Alyss: But on Zytemonde, everything is handed to you on a platter. Any challenges are trivial.
Panel 2
Three-shot of Sargon, Alyss, Bok.
Sargon: So, your aim was to make us smarter? Why?
Alyss: It was part of my development plan.
Alyss: I needed you to be smart enough to understand what your system was doing to you, and why it needs to change.
Panel 3
Sargon, Alyss, Bok. Alyss looks embarrassed.
Sargon: Well, considering how things went, maybe you should have eaten some 'Tartar Sauce' yourself.
Alyss: Well, I … I can't deny I messed things up.
Alyss: But even the smartest people can fall victim to hubris.
Bok: Not to mention thinking you're smarter than you really are.
