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
Diana is walking down an office corridor. She has a satchel slung over her shoulder.
Caption: Juan didn't give me my full pay but enough to pay rent this cycle.
Caption: The kinds of cases we were doing didn't pay that well, and he has a lot of accounts receivable.
Caption: But collections are definitely not in my skill-set.
Panel 2
Standing out on a broad, open platform, Diana tosses the satchel in front of her.
Caption: I really don't like personal confrontations. I'd rather just comb through info.
Caption: Juan can deal with the strong-arm stuff.
Panel 3
The satchel transforms into Diana's flycar.
Caption: Once I paid rent I could afford a few groceries, anyway.
Caption: The next day was the 10th of Primary, 1070, as the calendar runs here.
Caption: It was my day off, but I couldn't afford to go shopping, or partying.
Panel 4
Diana flies in her flycar through the city. Background shows buildings, other traffic. Signage abounds, including a billboard for Républicains Por La Démocratie. She's looking sullen.
Caption: Wasn't much else to do but … do some more case-law reading.
Caption: At least that was more productive than hanging out on Mídia Hoj and arguing with anonymous strangers.
