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
Cut scene to another room where DeCastries is being detained. He is laughing in Sergio's face. As Alyss is standing by looking grim. Opposite her is a handcuffed Belbenoit, looking defiant. Some of Sergio's men are there to discourage shenanigans.
Caption: Sergio located DeCastries but DeCastries could not be intimidated. Neither could Belbenoit. There seemed to be some folks missing but time was not on my rescuers' side.
Panel 2
With Alyss standing by, Sergio addresses a somewhat rag-tag assemblage. Some Cooper's Troopers, some pirates, Dong Gyeon-Hoon, the Siblings, and Otto.
Caption: So they assembled everyone who wasn't needed to maintain control of the building.
Sergio: Diana is being held in one of 4,096 rabbit-holes and we need to find her as quickly as possible. We have no idea what condition she is in.
Panel 3
Medium close-up on Sergio as he is holding up a clamshell-shaped device.
Sergio: Communication from within these holes requires these trans-D comms.
Sergio: They also allow you to open Displacer breaches into the rabbit-holes.
Sergio: Alyss will give each of you numbered sectors to examine.
Panel 4
Everyone has fanned out in a circle, facing outward, and are using their devices to open breaches. Some are stepping through already.
Caption: And so a group of 11 volunteers spent most of a day looking for me, not knowing what they'd find.
Caption: Turned out there were other captives, and a stash of back bacon, potatoes and cheese.
