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 1498

Panel 1
CP, Hugo and the entourage proceed through another, smaller room full of bulky equipment.
CP: You are being too modest, Doctor Hugo.
Hugo: I am?
CP: Your own star-drive must be many times faster than ours.
Hugo: Er … why do you think so?
Panel 2
CP and Hugo, who is looking a bit discomfited.
CP: For one thing, you must have either come from the far side of our galaxy, which we have not yet explored ...
CP: … Or even from another galaxy. We could not make the shorter journey in less than 40 years, or the longer in less than 450.
Hugo: How would you know how long we've been traveling?
Panel 3
CP stops and takes a confrontational stance towards Hugo, who is looking cornered.
CP: We may be less advanced than you, but we are not primitives.
CP: We scanned your ship, your life-form, and you especially during trans-mat.
CP: Your living crew-member cannot be more than 25 years old, and you and your ship appear to have been manufactured much more recently.
