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.

Texas has returned to more normal winter weather conditions, power is back on and Internet connections are working. Which means Scott has new Quantum Vibe strips ready to go this week. We appreciate everyone's understanding and patience as we emerged from hibernation.
And if you haven't already, please help us keep the lights on by buying Quantum Vibe books (in print or digital) along with any of Big Head Press's other thoughtful stories.
Transcript For Strip 1433
Panel 1Eithne still sitting in the chair, flanked by Hugo and Murphy.
Hugo: What do you mean, your starship?
Eithne: I combined my fees from my services of two years ago ...
Murphy: Two years?
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Eithne.
Eithne: You said you'd be back in a year. I gave you that plus 18 tendays.
Eithne: When you didn't show I started the process of fabbing your new bodies, downloading your stored memories – good thing you made back-ups right before you left.
Eithne: I'm now a fully-certified roboticist, by the way.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Hugo and Murphy. They know they've been out-maneuvered.
Eithne (OP): I also started building a new starship.
Eithne: But this time I've paid for all the materials, and my services restoring you this time should cover use of your facilities.
Eithne: So, it's my starship. Wanna go back to Galaxy S257163185 with me?
Panel 4
Hugo, Murphy and Eithne hash it out.
Hugo: All right, we can accept you as boson, but when we are underway I'm the captain.
Murphy: Actually we agreed I'd be captain on our next trip.
Eithne: No. I'm the captain.
Panel 5
Hugo turns abruptly to leave. Murphy starts to follow. Eithne is flummoxed.
Hugo: Out of the question. We'll build our own ship. Get this one out of my bay .
Murphy: Don't forget to gather up any of your belongings ashore.
Eithne: Whaaat?
Panel 6
Hugo and Murphy smile at each other knowingly as Eithne stands and sulks.
Eithne: All right, all right, I'll be the boson!
Eithne: Just promise you'll take me with you!
Hugo: What do you think, sweetie?
Murphy: I think I'm the captain.
