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
Medium c/u of Murphy sitting on the bed next to Eithne. Eithne is leaning towards her a bit.
Murphy: Hugo found a … pattern in the 'indeterminate' gravity wells.
Murphy: He's taking a closer look at the raw data now, to figure out the cause.
Eithne: So it's … not my fault?
Panel 2
Eithne rests her head on Murphy's shoulder.
Murphy: No, it's not your fault.
Murphy: I guess I should have expected we'd find something strange about this galaxy, under the circumstances.
Eithne: Will Hugo figure out what it is?
Panel 3
Closer two-shot. Now Eithne's head is resting on Murphy's 'collar-bone,' her arm on Murphy's opposite shoulder.
Murphy: Well, I suppose if anyone can, it's Hugo.
Murphy: Even after he became a 'Tin Man,' he retained his human curiosity, and intuitive insight.
Murphy: I guess he's still more 'human' than I'll ever ...
Panel 4
Pulling back a bit, we see that Eithne has pulled Murphy's opposing shoulder-sleve down, exposing the shoulder, and is nuzzling on it.
Murphy: Um, Eithne … what are you doing?
Eithne: You're so warm, Murphy. How long has it been, since ...
Panel 5
Eithne has now pulled the right shoulder-sleeve down enough to expose Murphy's right breast, and is suckling on it. Murphy is unsure what to do, but isn't pulling away.
Murphy: Eithne, p-please, I ...
Murphy: … I don't ...
Panel 6
They both fall backward on the bed, Eithne still latched onto Murphy's breast, Murphy embracing Eithne, starting to get into it.
Murphy: {sigh} … I don't see why not ...
