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 1443
Panel 1Eithne and Spike are moving through a doorway, firing and ducking shots. Eithne has a shield on her left arm. Spike shoots blasts from his ears, and crouches low to avoid return fire.
SFX: ZARK!! ZARK!! ZARK!!
SFX: ZOWW!! ZOWW!! ZOWW!!
Eithne: This is no good, Spike, we're getting bogged down!
Spike: Rime ror rrezuka?
Panel 2
Eithne is now holding a bazooka over her shoulder.
Eithne: I thought you'd never ask.
Eithne: Fire in the hole!
Panel 3
Reverse view as Eithne fires. A huge blast emits from Spike's butt, causing an explosion at the target with shrapnel and enemy body-parts flying in all directions..
SFX (near Spike): Fwash!
SFX (across wall where Spike's butt is pointed): Ba-WOOOM!!

Eithne: Gaaa!
Murphy: You are needed in the control room. We're jumping in two minutes.
Panel 5
A blaster shot from Eithne's two o'clock catches her square in the chest.
SFX: ZOWW!!
Eithne: Aauugh!
Panel 6
As Murphy turns to walk away, she starts to vanish, proving that she's just an image in this scene. Eithne is laying in a heap on the ground, as Spike crouches beside her, anguished.

Murphy: That airstrike you called in killed the hostages, anyway.
Spike: {Whi-i-i-ine!}
Eithne (weakly): Cunt.
