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
Now the citizen coming from the left is confronting the plain woman and another citizen is trotting-in from the right. At this point we can see both citizens are wearing little gold badges, but they are not otherwise uniformly dressed. Bok and Jerome continue walking away.
Bok: Maybe I can get Kāng to talk to me.
Jerome: Maybe you can, but would you report what he tells you?
Bok: Depends, you know that. We don’t burn our sources.
Panel 2
In the foreground, the plain woman slugs the first citizen with a right hook. The second citizen has his own zringer out, charging up. The commotion alerts Bok and Jerome, who have nearly disappeared into the distance.
SFX (not large): Chok
Second Citizen: Merde!.
Jerome: So long as they don’t … eh?
Panel 3
The second citizen stuns the woman with his zringer, as the first citizen recovers from the right hook. Bok and Jerome start trotting back toward them.
SFX: ZING!!
Bok: The hell – ?
Panel 4
In the foreground, the two citizens are half-supporting, half-grappling with the stunned woman as Bok and Jerome close in. A few others in the background have emerged and are looking on.
Bok: I can’t believe this … an open mugging?
Jerome: Should we intervene?
