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
Present-Murphy in cameo segues us back to the story. In the main panel, Murphy is looking in on Hugo, who is sitting hunched over on the deck, surrounded by bits of machinery.
Murphy (cameo): While Eithne was getting settled-in at her jail, Hugo was nearly at wit's end trying to repair the Displacement Drive.
Murphy (in story): Hugo –?
Hugo: It's useless. I'm useless.
Panel 2
Murphy has stepped into the room, close to Hugo. He looks completely despondent.
Murphy: What do you mean?
Hugo: I have completely disassembled the Displacement Drive, and re-assembled it.
Hugo: Twice. It still doesn't work.
Murphy: That doesn't make sense.
Panel 3
Murphy looks worried.
Hugo: You know what also doesn't make sense? The drives in the Hoppers don't work now, either. Even Eithne's log-cocks and micro-hoppers are useless.
Murphy: So we can't even send word back home?
Hugo: Don't try to cheer me up.
