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
We are not back in Nicole and Seamus' cabin aboard the Spanish Wells, Nicole and Seamus are just as we left them. Nicole looks disgusted.

Seamus: So, you finished that docu? What did you think?
Nicole: Bleagh.
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Nicole:
Nicole: First of all, loonie-speak doesn't get any less annoying after listening to it for an hour.
Nicole: Second, I can't believe how paranoid and bigoted loonie society is.
Panel 3
Nicole is shrinking her Screen down to smart-phone size, for storage, as she glances over at Seamus.
Nicole: Say, aren't you from Luna? What happened to your accent?
Seamus: I left Luna a long time ago, before that patois developed.
Panel 4
Medium close-up on Seamus, looking sad.
Seamus: Alas, poor Luna.
