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.

Transcript For Strip 1702
Panel 1Looking past Theo at Hugo, Murphy and Eithne: Eithne is clasping her hands and squealing like a 9-year-old girl.
Hugo: Well, Theo, as it happen...
Eithne: SQUEEEEE!!!!
Eithne: Are you Theophilus Farnsworth FOR REALZ?!
Panel 2
Like a little-girl on a sugar-binge, Eithne dances frenetically around Theo, who is befuddled by the spectacle.
Theo: Young lady, I …
Eithne: This is SO EXCITING!
Eithne: When I tell my friends back home about meeting you, they'll DIE of envy!
Eithne: Did you really know Sam Harris?
Panel 3
Eithne moves in closer, still dancing but also caressing Theo's shoulders, back, and upper torso.
Eithne: To actually have a conversation with the man who did more to change the course of humanity than Thomas Edison, even! Or Genghis Kahn!
Theo: If I may say ...
Eithne: Well, you're a tin man now but that's okay!
Eithne: You're still the same you as you were when you were ...
Panel 4
Eithne quickly moves in close and bites Theo on the nose.
SFX: Chomp!
Panel 5
Theo suddenly stiffens and topples over, insensate. Eithne catches him. Hugo and Murphy are astounded.
Hugo: What in Bog's name …?
Eithne: I told ya, I'm an expert roboticist.
Eithne: And, well, there are ways to put androids in 'sleep' mode that aren't discussed often.
Panel 6
Eithne and Murphy each are holding the unconscious Theo by a shoulder, pulling him across the deck on his heels. Hugo is contemplating his own nose.
Hugo: I can't say I'm thrilled to learn about this vulnerability.
Eithne: We don't have much time. I need help getting him over into this alcove.
