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's flyer is moving past us toward a Junction Matrix, which allows egress from one giant bubble to another in Bubbleopolis. Other vessels of varying sizes (but no Bubbs) are entering and leaving various Matrix portals.
Caption: I lived and worked mostly in one of the central, older Bubbles in Bubbleopolis.
Caption: Getting considerably less benefit of the Five Suns' energy than the outer spheres, my home neighborhood abides in perpetual twilight.
Panel 2
Diana's flyer nears an appropriately-sized portal.
Caption: One travels among the spheres via the Junction Matrix, which works on a principle similar to the Displacement Drive.
Caption: Here, you could jump to the adjacent sphere, or entirely across the City. It's all in the code you send to the portal controller.
Panel 3
Diana's flyer emerges from another Matrix and zooms across the sky. Here the lighting is brighter, the colors more vivid.
Caption: My interview subject – Lorelei Wodenstar deClayre – lived in one of the outer spheres.
Caption: Where it was perpetually bright and sunny.
Caption: That shit always gives me a headache.
Panel 4
Diana's flyer arcs in towards a large floating, European-style palace, with considerable landscaping on a wide platform. A few other widely-spaced buildings of differenty styles can be seen floating in the distance.
Caption: deClayre was Hayami's first charge while working for Gianturco Garantia.
Caption: She's also as rich and influential as, well, Alyss Roaz. But definitely with a different taste in architecture.
