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
A door on the side of the container has been opened, Li is carrying some large parts of machinery as Warren looks on.
Li: What we have here is the tools we will use to build a farm.
Li: Help me bring this stuff out.
Panel 2
Li and Warren are building a machine of some sort, on a frame about 3x3 meters.
Li: Okay, I need a couple of those rods marked, ‘P’
Warren: Got ‘em.
Panel 3
What they’ve assembled looks something like a tank crossed with a harvester.
Li: Now, in this configuration, the Combine will mow the tall grass and collect it into hay bales we’ll need for later.
Panel 4
Li is fiddling with a control panel.
Warren: Why don’t we get some Level 3s to do this work?
Li: To firmly establish ownership, we must mix our labor with the land.
Panel 5
The Combine trundles off across the field, mowing the grass and collecting it.
Warren: Pretty cool. Mixing our labor with the land isn’t so hard.
Li: This is just the beginning, son. There’s lots more to do before sundown.
Panel 6
Warren looks skyward, shielding his eyes from the sunglare,
Warren: Sundown. Yeah, I hear they have those here.
Li: You’ll have to get used to the natural rhythms here. Sunrise, sundown, rainstorms, meteor showers, volcanic eruptions …
Warren: You … you’re joking, right?
