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.

Transcript For Strip 2398

Panel 1
Lee's ship approaches planet Roussimov.

William: The planet... Roussimov?

Lee: Colonized by some Russian families almost 300 years ago.

Panel 2
Inside Lee's ship.

Lee: The colonists chose a relatively low-tech lifestyle, so the population now is not quite one million persons, clustered into two dozen towns and almost a hundred tiny hamlets.

Panel 3
Lee's ship entering the planet's upper atmosphere

William: Strange place for our quarry to go to ground.

Lee: Maybe not. Most folks here don't do cortical implants, or any other physical enhancements.

Lee: Here especially, she's super-human.

Panel 4
Lee's ship lands.

William: The space-port looks a bit... primitive.

Lee: Not much traffic here. This world is basically self-sufficient, but has little to offer for inter-galactic trade.

Panel 5
William now in disquise, he and Lee pay the landing fee.

Williams: How far do we have to go overland?

Lee: Not far. Less than 200 klicks.

Panel 6
William and Lee begin driving off in a car.

William: When you said these folks like a low-tech lifestyle, you weren't kidding.

Lee: If you'd prefer, I could get us a horse-drawn wagon.

William: No, this is fine.
