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
Hugo and Murphy are walking up a broad concourse, on a pathway through various large machines and connecting conduits.
Caption: Three hours later:
Hugo: … fortunate that you transmitted a personal log update shortly after I departed the Causa Sui, before, ah …
Murphy: Before I was destroyed, I know.
Panel 2
The pair enter a room with several monitor screens and a pair of podia facing the largest one.
Hugo: So we know where to look for my remains.
Murphy: First, a brief shake-down cruise, ok?
Hugo: At least let me give our new ship a name.
Panel 3
They take their places on the twin podia.
Murphy: So long as it's not something ridiculous.
Hugo: Then I christen this ship, Polyphemus.
Murphy: Poly … the mythical cyclops? Why?
Panel 4
Reveal of the ship in space, twin suns in the distance. The ship is clearly much larger than Causa Sui, perhaps half a kilometer stem to stern and 2/3 of that abeam. It looks powerful. The large dish on the bow is presented, bringing the joke home.
Hugo: (from inside): Are you kidding?
