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
Cut to Alyss narrating the story to her grandkids
Alyss: To make a long story a bit shorter, we carefully scanned the results, ran another test, scanned again, did some tweaks, then ran a fourth test to make sure we could apply this technique safely.
Panel 2
Cut back to the story. Nicole and Li are speaking with Julius and Alexandra via videophone
Julius: So you and Nicole think they can use your Displacement tech to swap out our moldy walls with clean ones ?
Panel 3
Reverse view so show Nicole and Li on the Weinstein’s screen. Nicole is beaming (and blushing).
Li: I have enough confidence in Nicole that we’ll assume full liability if anything goes wrong.
Li: And there’s no charge for this. It will be a demonstration project of our latest advance.
Panel 4
Switch back to the Situs’ POV
Alexandra: Ah, would you be offended if we asked you to do the upper floor first?
Julius: If that goes well we could do the rest of the house?
Panel 5
Two-shot Li and Nicole. Li looks a bit miffed but Nicole is all charm
Li: Um, sure, but I don’t think …
Nicole: But, of course! We understand your concern and will be the epitome of caution.
Panel 6
Cut back to the ‘present,’ Alan and Roderigo ‘thoughtsend to each other.
Alan: Does that sound like the Abuela Alyss we know?
Roderigo: I think some roles were switched there.
