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
Nicole is walking several meters out from the star cruiser, carrying a large bag that’s almost too large for her to manage. Bri follows along, carrying a much smaller bag.
Nicole: Hmf! I think this is far enough.
Bri: Are we going camping now?
Panel 2
Nicole has set the bag down, and is pulling part of a large cloth out of it.
Nicole: Right now we’re setting up a tent.
Nicole: Set that bag down and help me anchor this corner.
Panel 3
They have laid out the large layered cloth in a 5-sided shape roughly 3x4 meter square.
Nicole: Okay, after I hammer this anchor into the ground, you stand on it here, hold it down while I pull the others taut.
Panel 4
Now all 4 corners of the cloth are anchored down, Nicole is holding a device that had been in the (now opened) small bag.
Caption: A few more minutes later:
Nicole: Now, stand back while I activate this thing.
Panel 5
The tent ‘pops’ into its full configuration
SFX POOFF!
Panel 6
Bri stands admiring the new erection. Nicole holds open a door flap, so as to enter the tent.
Bri: Well, that’s that.
Nicole: Not quite. We have to erect the partitions, set up the lights, and plug in the local power source for the perimeter web.
