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
A tense confrontation between Dong/Diana/Areum/Wook and The Mechanic and co.
Dong: If you intend to kill us, I would like to know the reason why.
Mechanic: That little friend of yours is carrying another tracker. My assistant scanned you all after you exited the flyer.
Panel 2
Diana is scandalized. Dong looks at her suspiciously. The Mechanic is adamant.
Diana: WHAT! No, that's ridiculous! I mean, I have defensive gadgets, but not ...
Mechanic: Hand over that coat. NOW.
Dong: I recommend you do as she says.
Panel 3
The Mechanic holds up the coat with one hand while her assistant scans it with her hand-held.
Caption: And so:
Assistant: It's not in the jacket. But I definitely got a ping on her.
Mechanic: Very well, then, scan her again, without the jacket.
Panel 4
Angle from above/behind the Assistant so we can see an image on her Screen that's an outline of Diana, as Diana herself appears in the middleground. We can see that her holo-projected shirt has bare arms. An icon appears over the outline's right forearm.
Assistant: Got it again. On her right forearm. About mid-way … wait.
Assistant: Filho da puta, it's inside her forearm!
Caption: I was too shocked to even say 'what!'
