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
Bok appears on his Las Noticías Indelicadas newscast set.
Bok: So far I’ve received reports of this so-called ‘Freedom Legion’ invading 128 of the 153 spheres in Bubbleopolis.
Bok: Hundreds of citizens have been critically injured in confrontations with these ‘Libérateurs.’
Panel 2
Jerome Falstaff on his own Noticías Inacreditável newscast set.
Jerome: After numerous brief skirmishes the public seems to have mostly gone to ground ...
Jerome: Remaining in their homes and shuttered businesses and awaiting word from the Pillars, the security companies, or even Resposta Ciudadana, who all seem to have been blind-sided by these events.
Panel 3
Back to Bok, over his shoulder we see Eva Jeanne in battle with snappers near the Shield Hall building.
Bok: The invaders seem focused on key locations, especially Shield Hall, where the control center for the city’s Oresme Shield is heretofore ‘secretly’ located.
Bok: Deslocação Dinámico has put out an S.o.s. to all parties capable of coming to their aid.
Panel 4
Split panel: On the left is Jerome, on the right, Bok.
Jerome: For the moment, the forces seem equally matched, but more invaders and assault craft are appearing each minute.
Bok: The invaders control the intra-city displacer matrix. Private portals seem secure, but security forces are hobbled in their movements.
Jerome and Bok: Whether the city remains free or falls to the invaders, will be determined in the next few days.
