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
Alyss, Sergio and Brittany. Alyss has a hand to her ear, making a telecall. The latter two are stunned, staring at the monitor.
Alyss: Hugo! You reckless asshole!
Sergio: Nothing could have survived that.
Panel 2
Hugo pops-in. Sergio and Brittany are startled again, but Alyss is still fuming.
SFX: Pop!
Hugo: You rang?
Panel 3
Alyss rants at Hugo. Sergio turns to add his remark
Alyss: You promised to coordinate your actions with Sergio!
Sergio: If you’d pulled this stunt five seconds later you would have killed 45 of our best fighters!
Panel 4
Hugo stands with arms crossed and eyes rolling as Alyss continues ranting. (Brittany adds her two satoshis)
Alyss: As it is, you’ve made hundreds of citizens homeless!
Brittany: Not to mention, a lot of those residents kept pets!
Alyss: Sergio’s people were standing ready to take out the invaders the hard way, saving pets and other property!
Panel 5
Hugo foomps away (his words come from the silouette of his exit)
Hugo: I’m sorry, I thought you were fighting a war here.
Hugo: If that’s the way you feel, I’ll go someplace I’m more appreciated.
SFX: FOOMP!
Panel 6
Alyss surprised and saddened. Sergio counsels her.
Alyss: Hugo, wait! I didn’t mean to … {sigh}
Sergio: Your friend really is a loose canon, isn’t he?
