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
Seated behind a massive desk is Cornelius Barnhill himself.
Caption (Li): ‘I wasn’t expecting to find myself in the lion’s den.
Caption: ‘Barnhill exuded a kind of commanding energy that was at once both charismatic, and terrifying.’
Panel 2
In a darkened room, Barnhill gestures toward a spherical diagram representing a tactical view of the war at that point.
Caption: ‘But he was not at all bellicose in his manner.
Caption: ‘In a matter-of-fact tone, he outlined the tactical situation our city faced.
Caption: ‘And it looked very bad for us.’
Panel 3
Li is looking grimly at the display as Barnhill looks at Li.
Barnhill: As you can see, we can continue choking off your supply chains, star system by star system.
Barnhill: Eventually you must surrender, or starve.
Panel 4
Focus on Li.
Li: While we’re sharing I’ll just get to the real heart of the matter:
Li: We know your stated causus belli is a giant bag of guano.
Li: What the flaming hell do you people want from us, anyway?
