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.

Now Otto is kneeling, leaning back on one arm on his bed, looking shocked and with a big red mark on his cheek. Lorelei is telling him how the cow ate the cabbage.
Lorelei: You think you've suffered a loss? You still have a home! A family! Your health!
Lorelei: There is a multitude of people here who have lost EVERYTHING.
Lorelei: You want some meaning, get off your whiny butt and go help them!
