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.

Eithne pauses before entering the doorway, looking worriedly at the lights in the jamb. AP indicates the tablet she's holding.

AP: Until we reach our destination, it will activate only if you move more than four mezzes from me.
Panel 4
AP leads Eithne up the corridor, with the big security guard following. AP is looking at the tablet.
Eithne: How far is four mezzes?
