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 1749
Panel 1Diana is leaning over the desk, touching commands on the keyboard and looking at the holoscreen. Juan is seated to the side and behind, and is not looking at the holoscreen.
Diana: Hmmm... one of her hobbies is … building doll-houses?
Diana: There's a local club, something to check out.
Diana: But I already have a list of her previous addresses, her assurance policies, and credit rating.
Panel 2
Diana has turned around and is seated on the edge of the desk, facing Juan. Juan is looking away, annoyed with himself.
Juan: To think I put up with that horse's ass for so little compensation.
Diana: It's good to have confirmation, Juan.
Diana: But still … this was a 9-cycle investigation? I found out almost as much in four hours.
Panel 3
Juan and Diana.
Juan: There should be hundreds of pages of notes, photos, diagrams, recorded interviews, fecal samples ...
Diana: Say what?
Juan: Heh-heh. Joke. I'm saying a lengthy murder investigation should be a lot more exhaustive.
Panel 4
Diana stands up, preparing to go back to her desk, as Juan muses.
Juan: Paul Redoj was the original lead investigator on that case. He's a friend.
Juan: He quit after the first six months, retired under a bit of a cloud.
Diana: I'm sure he'll enjoy re-living old times with you.
