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.

Transcript For Strip 229

Panel 1
Seamus and Nicole are walking again, their luggage following, towards another gateway marked, 'Port of Entry.' There is a queue of about a dozen people visible through the gateway.
Nicole: Okay, now what's this?
Seamus: In the vernacular, it's called, 'customs.' I think of it as 'formal frisking.'
Panel 2
Seamus and Nicole join the queue, their luggage gathers around their feet.
Seamus: The Lunar government wants to know all about everyone who comes to Luna, and what they're bringing with them.
Nicole: Such paranoia. Or is this some kind of game?

Panel 3
Closer two-shot of Seamus and Nicole, waiting in the queue. Nicole is looking annoyed.
Seamus: I suppose it is a game, one with serious consequences if you mess it up.
Seamus: My advice to the novice is, play it safe.

Panel 4
The queue has moved up to the first customs official, a charmless but not threatening fellow who is going through a formality. Nicole, who is standing between the c.o. and Seamus, is smiling at him and giving him the Vulcan Salute.
Customs official: Names and documents, please.
Nicole: We come in peace. Take us to your larder.
