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 4
Murphy sits up in the bed, not exactly happy to be hearing this.

Hugo: Only such few as are absolutely necessary.
Hugo: Unless you think they'll tell us where Eithne is being held if we just ask them nicely.
Panel 5
Murphy has stood up, and is re-projecting her holographic clothing. Hugo is sitting up in the bed.
Murphy: I … I'm not sure how this squares with our ethics, Hugo.
Murphy: Granted, the Community is predatory, but is every individual member at fault?
Hugo: I don't think that's a real concern here.
Panel 6
