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.

Seamus: I didn't say that!
Panel 2

Seamus: I regret very much if anyone, human or android, gets hurt or killed.
Seamus: But we were in an emergency self-defense situation.
Panel 3

Seamus: Don't forget, they fired on us first.
Seamus: And if they are who I think they are, they would not have spared any of us had they captured us.
Panel 4
