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.
Updates delayed by Thundersnow [ Feb 21, 2021 ]
Scott's home and studio were without electric power for three days after the freak winter ice/snow storm hit Texas last week. That plus needing a day to recover and recuperate has eaten up his buffer of strips and put him a week behind schedule. We regret that a one-week pause in uploads is unfortunately necessary.
QUANTUM VIBE will resume uploads on March 1, 2021
Transcript For Strip 1848
Strip 118Panel 1
Diana is sitting in a chair with a raised arm-rest (like what phlebotomists use), Diana has her right arm on the rest and The Assistant is strapping it down. Dong and The Mechanic are looking on.
Caption: Soon afterward:
Assistant: This shouldn't take long.
Diana: Is it really necessary to strap my arm down like this?
Panel 2
The Assistant is scanning Diana's arm with some new device.
Assistant: It is important that you not move during the procedure. Less pain that way.
Diana: I'm all in favor of less pain. But, what are you doing now?
Panel 3
The Assistant is making a small mark on Diana's arm with a pen.
Assistant: Scanning your arm. It's important to know the exact location and position of the tracker we want to remove.
Diana: Okay, that makes sense.
Panel 4
The Assiatant is swabbing the middle of Diana's forearm with an antibiotic (iodine) solution. Diana's eyes go wide in response to what The Assistant is telling her.
Assistant: Also, it's possible the tracker is booby-trapped.
Assistant: It might explode or release a toxic cloud when I try to remove it.
Assistant: Good to know in advance.
