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
Otto is taking a break in a staff break-room. He looks a bit worn out. A young woman, Sarah, in medical smock comes up, holding a pair of drinks in tall cups.
Caption: Médico break room:
Sarah: Otto, you look beat. Want some Cintilar?
Otto: Oh, hola, Sarah. And yes, thanks.
Panel 2
They're sitting together at a small table, across from a wall with a viewscreen. Sarah is putting a finger to her temple.
Otto (softly, mostly to himself): Haven't eaten in five hours … should prolly get a snack.
Sarah: Mind if I put a news stream on? I like to keep up.
Otto: Sure, go ahead.
Panel 3
Looking past Sarah and Otto at the viewscreen. On it we see Jerome Falstaff holding forth. A stock image of Ambassador Mordecai Montanha-Flores appears over his shoulder.
Falstaff: … may be re-considering the Intergalactic Council's offer, but so far we don't have any official confirmation.
Falstaff: Eight days ago their ambassador paid a visit with an unspecified offer and seemed to go away disappointed.

Panel 4
Flip back to face Otto and Sarah, watching the viewscreen.
Otto: Huh. Do you think that dude can be trusted?
Sarah: Oh yeah, Jerome Falstaff is so-o-o dreamy.
Otto: No, I mean the Ambassador.
Sarah: Oh, who the hell knows? He looks creepy.
