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
More chatter:
Jerome: To summarize:
Jerome: Anxiety levels are still higher than normal, but the success of Deslocação Dinámico in diverting the second missile has had a calming effect.
Jerome: So far there is little to no sentiment for changing the established order here, beyond the usual outliers.
Panel 2
Focus on the image of Jean-Luc on the flip-phone.
Jean-Luc: This was not unexpected. We will need to step up our game.
Jean-Luc: Based on your interviews, what would you recommend?
Jerome: Clearly assaults from outside are not very productive.
Panel 3
Focus on Jerome
Jerome: The city is well-hardened against external attacks, and they can adapt quickly, as we have seen.
Jerome: Not to mention, inasmuch as our sponsors also have valuable physical assets here, chewing up great chunks of the city is likely more costly than necessary.
Panel 4
A silhouetted figure is looking at a pair of monitors containing the images of both Jerome and Jean-Luc.
Jean-Luc: Agreed. So what then?
Jerome: The next attack needs to come from the inside.
Jerome: The city is more vulnerable internally, and a well-planned strike could divide the populace.
