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 1428
Panel 1Still in the corridor, Eithne fesses up.
Eithne: Oh, all right, I confess: I want to go with you guys!
Eithne: I want to explore strange, new galaxies! Seek out ...
Hugo: Out of the question.
Panel 2
Eithne starts tearing up, Hugo rolls his eyes, as Murphy smiles knowingly.
Hugo: Oh, very well, You may accompany us on our shake-down cruise.
Hugo: But when we depart for Galaxy S257163185, you can take the transport you arrived in and return to Gabriola.
Hugo: Please extend our regards to your grandmother.
Panel 3
They continue along a corridor.
Eithne: But, why can't I go to Galaxy, uh, S257163185?
Murphy: It's dangerous. Hugo and I have survived, collectively, 1500 years of wars, adventure, and disasters.
Hugh: Until very recently, apparently.
Panel 4
Murphy gently places her palms along the sides of Eithne's face. Eithne is having none of it.
Murphy: We're experienced adventurers, honey.
Murphy: Even though you are quite brilliant, you're inexperienced, and as a bio-person, all too vulnerable.
Eithne: Don't baby me.
Panel 5
They enter the room with the hatch in the floor.
Eithne: You have no idea what happened to your former selves!
Eithne: You'll make the same mistakes you made last time, and get killed again!
Hugh: We'll be more cautious this time, and you won't be at risk.
Panel 6
The three descend in the gravity-lift, Eithne pouting, Murphy looking sad, Hugh resolute.
Eithne: Hmp. All this work for nothing.
Hugo: You will be properly compensated for your time and skill.
Murphy: And we'll be back in a year, and then you can come with us on our next mission, okay?
