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 3
Looking past Diana at a holo-image on Zander in front of her. He's looking cocky.

Caption: But now he's caught on to how things work in Bubbleopolis, and the value of his skill.
Panel 4
Otto comes up behind Diana as she is still engaged with Zander, startling her.
Caption: We were negotiating his fee, when ...
Otto: Senhora Martelli! They've found your boss, Sr. Gómez!
