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
Jerome Falstaff, looking very worried, broadcasting on his Noticícias Increditável channel.
Falstaff: We have received a … most disturbing communique from the executive in charge of the Libérateurs.
Falstaff: I present it to you here in the interest of informing my viewers, but without endorsement.
Panel 2
Cut to a scene with Amelia Orme-Colbert in front, behind her is poor Dexter, tied to a chair and flanked by two Libérateurs.
AOC: This is Amelia Orme-Colbert, Senior Executive in charge of the Libérateur forces.
AOC: Despite our entreaties, you Novo Paoloans continue to resist our attempts to Liberate you from the oligarchs who rule this city.
Panel 3
AOC continues:
AOC: Hours ago, a strike force from your so-called ‘Pillars’ invaded the Cedar Park Villas, where dozens of citizens were kept under our protection, kidnapped them, and murdered several of our Libérateurs.
AOC: We cannot allow this sort of behavior to continue. We will fulfill our mission to bring this city into the family of universal humanity, no matter the difficulties.
Panel 4
AOC gestures towards Dexter and his guards.
AOC: Fortunately, we were able to capture one of the insurrectionists, which you see here.
AOC: It seems there is only one way to convince you people that resistance to our assistance is futile:
Panel 5
One of the guards pulls out a blaster and blows Dexter’s brains out.
SFX: ZANG!
Panel 6
AOC fills the panel.
AOC: We would very much prefer not to resort to such measures.
AOC: We implore the people of Novo Paolo: Stop fighting us. Forsake your oligarchs, and march with us into a brighter future.
