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
Exterior of the shuttle still docked to the Staisiún.
Pilot (from inside the shuttle): We are ready to un-dock.
Seamus (from inside shutttle): Pilot, please hold.
Seamus: Nicole, you should now have an integrated visual interface
Panel 2
Inside the shuttle, looking over Nicole's shoulder at 'Watson.' The display screen shows something like an astrogational display, with a central reticle and various icons. It has a 3-D effect so that the display appears a bit in front of Watson's surface.
Nicole: Yeah, I've got a nav display screen going, not too different from the Helio-Flyer's.
Seamus: Good, good. Now, expand the range out to 100 megameters.
Panel 3
Looking through the 3-D display effect at Nicole peering back into it. A large sphere filling about a third of the space represents Venus. There are tiny icons and arcing lines all about.
Nicole: Geez! Venus has a lot of traffic!
Seamus (OP): Now lay in our course to Ishtar Station and see if any of those vectors intersect.
Panel 4
Side-shot of Nicole on the left looking at her display, and Seamus on the right looking puzzled.
Nicole: Not a one. We're clear all the way to Ishtar.
Seamus: Strange. I was sure I'd find them at this point.
