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 1840
Panel 1The four of them are seated in the flyer (same positions as before but Dong is riding shotgun). Diana is expressing startled annoyance.
Caption: We'd been flying for just a few moments when:
Wook: That's a dash jacket, if I may say. Where did ...
Diana: What the flaming fuck!
Areum: Wook! Don't be rude!
Panel 2
Diana apologizes to Wook.
Diana: No no, I'm sorry, Wook, I wasn't responding to you.
Diana: I have a sub-agent running auto in my implant which routinely accesses the Rejes, and ...
Diana: … suddenly it can't, and now I can't get any other sort of response from the network.
Panel 3
Dong explains it all.
Dong: It is my 'masking thingamajigee,' of course.
Dong: All transmissions going out are blocked. We can only receive.
Diana: Too bad your device can't be more selective.
Dong: It is selective in that it permits visible light.
Panel 4
Exterior shot of the flyer approaching a Junction Matrix.
Dong: Otherwise we would be a very conspicuous black spheroid, Senhora Martelli.
Diana: Please call me 'Diana.' It's more direct.
Dong: Then you should also call me, 'Gyeon-Hoon.'
Diana: Well, that sounds better than 'Master Dong' – in my native language.
