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.

Diana: Oui.
Panel 2
They approach a pair of displacement hoppers.
Diana: Uh … can't we take the grav-lifts back down instead?
Areum: The hoppers are safer, but I understand your issue with headaches.
Diana: My headaches are fine, the issue is the hoppers.
Panel 3
Inside a 'grav-lift' which is an open shaft within which gravity fields substitute for elevator cars. The trio is gliding down. Wook is enjoying herself. Areum is refusing to enjoy herself.

Areum: He messaged me. He's waiting in the lobby.
Panel 4
In the lobby, Dong Gyeon-Hoon greets Diana and the bodyguards. He's carrying a large satchel.

Dong: The means for greater enlightenment, naturally.
