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 196
Panel 1In the encounter room at Dalliances, Seamus and Nicole continue their ultra-private conference.
Nicole: This new formulation … such a small change … but a huge difference.
Seamus: Yes, the implications are mind-boggling.
Panel 2
Looking past Nicole at Seamus.
Seamus: You can work out all the other implications later if you like, but right now our focus is on the one:
Seamus: That matter can be moved from one quantum reality to another, if one can change its quantum vibratory frequencies.
Panel 3
Looking past Seamus at Nicole.
Nicole: And you think you have a means of doing so?
Seamus: I do. The key is finding the Quantum Vibratory Constant, down to the 23rdth significant digit.
Panel 4
Now Nicole's eyes brighten with understanding.
Nicole: That's why you needed to set off those nukes on the Sun!
Seamus: And take precise measurements of the event at varying distances, yes. The results will yield the data I need.
Panel 5
Seamus and Nicole.
Nicole: Okay, if you were anyone but you, I'd be sure I was being scammed.
Seamus: No doubt.
Panel 6
Close-up on Nicole, looking thoughtful.
Nicole: But you are the famous Seamus O Murchadha, whose past inventions have transformed human civilization.
Nicole: And this would top them all.
Panel 7
Looking past Nicole at Seamus, who is looking rather impatient.
Nicole: And besides all that, Mom gives you her endorsement.
Seamus: Vanessa is too kind. So, are you in, or aren't you?
Panel 8
Medium close-up on Nicole, looking back on Seamus levelly, with a slight smile.
Nicole: I'm in. Come what may.
