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
Eva Jeanne zooms around the Segundo Azul, past the wreckage of some snappers she just blasted.
Michael (from EJ): Another wave popping-in, 10 bogeys 400 meters at 128-mark-31.
Alyss: (from EJ): This is getting tiresome, Michael.
Panel 2
Aboard the Eva Jeanne, Alyss is on the bridge, which has been reconfigured a bit since Venus 23. Michael is represented by a holographic head floating next to her.
Alyss: The enemy keeps sending more and more troops and light fighters.
Michael: The fact they haven’t sent larger craft supports your theory that they’ve set up a gateway inside the city.
Panel 3
Another angle on Alyss and Michael.
Alyss: So far, an un-confirmed theory. As well as my theory of where that gateway is.
Michael: The Intergalactic Council legation. You could just blow it to smithereens with your proton cannon.
Panel 4
Cut to exterior. EJ is blasting some more Snappers.
Alyss (from EJ): Not without a writ from a highly-placed Arbiter.
Alyss: Last time I went out guns a-blazing it cost me a large chunk of money, and would have been a much bigger chunk if I’d turned out to be wrong about De Castries.
Panel 5
Some more ships the size of EJ pop into the area. Michael, Allys and Mitch Stauder (from one of the newcoming cruisers.
Michael (from EJ): There … no, four new friendlies have joined us.
Stauder: Parr-Tay! Parr-Tay!
Allys: Great! Now I can go ...
Panel 6
Cut to the EJ bridge, Allys and Michael.
Michael: SchildHaus has just sent a new S.O.S.
Alyss: {sigh} I guess I can just go back to defending the Shield House.
