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
Cut back to Alyss' living room with Alyss, Hugo, Murphy. Hugo is looking a bit embarrassed.
Alyss: So, you figured it all out, eh?
Hugo: Well, at that point I thought I had, but I was … well ...
Murphy: He was wrong. Although, not completely.
Panel 2
Looking past Alyss at Hugo.
Hugo: {sigh} … I thought we were in a virtual space of some sort. Our minds trapped in a false reality and made to act out a contrived scenario.
Hugo: So, since all these 'aliens' weren't real, there'd be nothing wrong with 'assimilating' them or even killing them if they got in our way.
Panel 3
Alyss smiles wryly. Hugo crosses his arms in an assertive manner.
Alyss: Oh, you mean like you killed those two Gluteans aboard Causa Sui?
Hugo: They shot Murphy. In the back. Legitimate defense and retribution.
Alyss: With prejudice, I'd say.
