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 1851
Panel 1Diana (arm still in sling) looks on as The Mechanic and a couple of her underlings work on the Super-flyer, which is suspended above the floor on a simple lift-rack. Dong is also standing by, watching.
Caption: After that, I was treated warmly, as if by letting them cut my arm open I passed some sort of initiation.
Caption: The Mechanic and her helpers scoured the Super-flyer, removing bits and adding other bits in, as Gyeon-Hoon ordered.
Panel 2
In a workman's-type lounge, Diana is in a happily animated conversation with one of the characters that was pointing weapons at her previously.
Caption: Turns out one of her security guys … called himself 'Grendel' … was also a fan of The Screaming Bosons, one of my favorite dance bands.
Caption: Grendel said he was a roady for them once, years ago. He told some hilarious stories of their wacky hijinks.
Panel 3
The Super-flyer is back on its wheels again. One of the flunkies is pointing out something something on the dashboard to Areum. Diana is getting a farewell hug from The Mechanic.
Caption: Finally, all the modifications were complete.
Caption: My arm was still healing, but we needed to be on our way.
Panel 4
Diana is in her usual seat in the Super-flyer as it rises from the garage floor. Angled view so we see Diana in the flyer and also The Mechanic, her Assistant, and Grendel, and the two flunkies standing on the floor and waving good-bye.
Caption: What strange, wonderful people, living in the dark underbelly of the City.
Caption: I didn't know when I'd see any of them again, but I had a gut feeling that I would, someday.
