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 2457
Page 078Panel 1
Sergio sets his glass down on the small table
Sergio: So, what do you think of the wine?
Macron: It’s … creditable. You Novo Paolans do know how to live the grand life.
Panel 2
Sergio leans forward, establishing dominance over Macron
Sergio: Okay, let’s get down to business.
Sergio: Why are you defecting? And what do you have to offer us?
Macron: I’m defecting because the woman currently in charge of this project has gone insane.
Panel 3
Sergio and Macron
Sergio: Go on.
Macron: Her seconds are too cowardly to stop her from completely wrecking the Council’s support among the vassal states. You might consider them ‘franchisees.’
Sergio: I understand how your system is structured.
Panel 4
Focus on Macron
Macron: She refuses to admit that without our ‘Rainbow bridge’ affording us egress into the city, we cannot win here.
Macron: She refuses to negotiate a withdrawal. This business of attacking hospitals, for gourd’s sake. It’s madness.
Macron: She has removed the velvet glove revealing the iron fist – except the ‘iron fist’ is remarkably brittle without its covering.
Panel 5
Sergio and Macron
Sergio: ‘Rainbow bridge,’ eh? Your people can certainly wax poetic.
Macron: I don’t understand the technology. Only that it is no longer available to us.
Macron: But as for what I have to offer you ...
Panel 6
Sergio and Macron
Macron: I know where our field headquarters is, where to find Amelia Orme-Colbert.
Macron: If you send in a squad to kill her, the others will stand down.
Macron: I only need the Pillars’ word that we will be permitted to depart.
