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
Montoya in the left foreground, the deCastries table in the right background, where that group is making an effort to not look guilty.
Montoya: There are others involved who cannot testify at this hearing.
Montoya: Senhor Juan Gómez was kidnapped from his home and savagely tortured and beaten. He is expected to survive but his recovery will be a long and difficult ordeal.
Panel 2
Looking at the Roaz table, focusing on Diana, who is smouldering as she and Roaz side-eyes towards their opponents.
Montoya: At the same time Gómez was taken, Senhora Martelli's apartment was ransacked.
Montoya: Fortunately she wasn't home at the time, or else she might have suffered the same fate as her employer.
Panel 3
At this point the arbiters question Montoya.
Arb Andrews: Have you identified the party or parties who assaulted Gómez and hit Martelli's apartment?
Montoya: No … for reasons unknown, the security systems at both their residences failed, and so the intruders remain anonymous.
Panel 4
The arbiters seem surprised.
Arb Andrews: Security failed at both residences? They didn't even live in the same building.
Montoya: Quite a coincidence, is it not? And, Smith & Holder had the contract for both of those buildings.
Arb Santini: I would hate to be in charge of marketing for that outfit these days.
