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
Alyss is massaging her temples with her fingers.
Alyss: All right, let's assume for a moment that someone has figured out how to work in those extra dimensions.
Alyss: How would something like this be used to circumvent an Oresme Shield?
Dominic: I suppose it could be used as a gateway, like one of our Junction Matrices.
Panel 2
Alyss: And how large would such a gateway need to be?
Dominic: That depends on what you'd want to send through it.
Dominic: If you want to send micro-missiles, the size of a golf ball. If you want to send warships, 100 kilometers across.
Panel 3
Diana, Alyss and Dominic
Alyss: Assume someone is sending a battalion of armored warriors, or ninjas, or mafiosi.
Dominic: In that case, anywhere from 30 to 100 meters, depending on whether it needs to function open or folded-up.
Panel 4
Diana: That still gives us Thousands of possible hiding places here.
Alyss: Is there some way to rig up a device that detects activity in one or more of those extra dimensions?
Dominic: You want me to invent a gadget that can detect the impossible? I could more easily do a belly-flop on a black hole.
