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
At Delosario Sanatório Diagnóstico, Otto is at a standing station, directing an orderly in charge of a cart full of supplies. He’s looking tired.
Otto: Okay, Jeffrey, get that load up to the fourth floor and then take your break.
Jeffrey: Afirmativo, Senor Sullivan.
Panel 2
Beckham, a stout, female beltape of apparent middle-age, comes up to Otto.
Beckham: When was your last break, Otto?
Otto: Four or five hours, I think. There’s just so much to do, Nurse Beckham.
Panel 3
Beckham directs Otto to take his break.
Beckham: Yes, but overtired co-ordinators make costly mistakes.

Beckham: And be back in 10 minutes.

In the staff lounge, Otto sits at a table next to a large with Paul, a co-worker and friend. Otto talks around mouthfuls of the sandwich he’s eating.

Otto: {munch} Too much going on right now. {chew}
Otto: When the {smack} invaders are gone I can {mffk} focus better ...
Panel 5
Suddenly the wall and the floor next to Paul and Otto disintegrate as something crashes into it.
SFX: KABASH!!!
Panel 6
Paul and Otto fall into the zero-g space outside the building. We see a pair of Snappers and a local fighter craft dog-fighting in the near background.
Paul: Man, you shouldn’t talk with your mouth full of food like that, it’s gross.
