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
Diana and Lester at the table looking not conspiratorial at all.
(all soto voce)
Lester: As I mentioned, there is a secret gateway to the city's instant-transport network, where records of all uses are stored in a coded block-chain.
Diana: Wow, really? All those transits are supposed to be confidential.
Panel 2
Lester is holding forth his index finger.
Lester: They're supposed to be, but for safety purposes records must be kept.
Lester: If something goes wrong – someone gets misplaced, or just disappears, Deslocação Dinámico needs to track what happened.
Lester: Here, take this key.
Panel 3
Diana touches her finger to his, and a small glow results.
Lester: We use this back door from time to time, in secret.
Lester: We can't use what we learn from this in court, but we can learn where to look for stuff we can use. It's a real time-saver.
Panel 4
Diana is looking at her finger like it's brand new. Lester picks up another rib and prepares to eat it.
Lester: There's a secret address, and a temporary password that will get you in within the next 40 hours.
Lester: Don't use the company's gear. Go home and use your private node. Be discreet.
