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
Eithne is lounging in her own quarters, sipping a drink and gazing at a holographic screen being projected on the wall next to her bed. In the center we see a blue-green-white, Terra-like world. Two small moons also in the frame. All are in quarter-phase.
Eithne (thought): Might as well spend the time looking around this star-system.
Eithne: Hmmm. That's the planet those transmissions are coming from.
Eithne: Looks a lot like Gabriola … or the way Terra used to.
Panel 2
Closer focus on the holoscreen, with Eithne visible in the lower left. The screen shows a diagram of the double-star system.
Eithne (thought): So, two class-G stars, orbiting not quite 300 gigameters apart.
Eithne: Two asteroid belts, one of them a 'figure-eight' like the Alpha Kentauri system's.
Eithne: One small, rocky world orbiting very close to the larger star ...
Panel 3
Medium shot of Eithne, looking bored already.
Eithne (thought): … Nine more planets orbiting both stars, from 720 gigs to 15.5 terameters out from the barycenter.
Eithne: The target planet is the innermost … the weather must be quite interesting.
Eithne: I wonder what that world's people call their home.
Eithne: Probably something like 'pbbt-pfft-plfft-ptdb.'
