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.

Murphy: I know, I was there for most of it.

Hugo: The data set I built while Dryhaven harvested materials is more complicated but I can manage it better now as a 'tin man.'
Panel 3

Hugo: And I noticed several anomalies, which all need more study, but one that jumped out at me …
