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
Polyphemus roars past a gas giant, its swirling, multicolored clouds filling the background.
Murphy (from ship): Fusion drives performing well within tolerances at 110 percent thrust.
Hugo (from ship): Radiation shields are holding steady.
Panel 2
Now the background is a starfield with another rubble pile, much larger than the one from before. Polyphemus' fusion engines are throttled back.
Hugo: Enemy rubble pile ahead 305 mark 27 degrees, one-fifty kilometers.
Murphy: Damned rubble! Hit it with the magna-cannon!
Panel 3
External view, a large, thick energy beam emerges rom the frontal dish and smacks the center of the rubble pile, sending the different boulders flying out in all directions.
Murphy: Now … target practice!
Panel 4
The multiple gun-ports open and particle-cannon fire in all directions, blasting the individual boulders.
Hugo: Now can we go find my remains?
Murphy: You missed nine of those boulders. Get to the next rubble pile and do this again.
