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
The court room. On the left, we see Judge Antonio Neopolitan on the bench screen (at a fairly severe angle), in the center, Nicole and George Ringo, on the right, the Prosecutor.
Neopolitan: Court finds sufficient evidence to hold defendant over for trial on the charge of possession of a controlled substance.
Neopolitan: Now, as for bail ...
Panel 2
In the foreground rignt, Medium shot of the Prosecutor, Ms. Shroeder. In the background left, Nicole and Ringo. Nicole casts an angry glance at Shroeder.
Shroeder: Your honor we believe that as an alien transient, defendant is a significant flight risk and recommend no bail be granted.
Panel 3
Two-shot of Nicole and Ringo. Nicole is still looking banged-up.
Ringo: Your honor my client is no transient -- she is under contract to a respected employer and is on Luna as part of her job.
Ringo: Furthermore she is bonded with Smith & Holder Associates, and has a good credit rating.
Panel 4
Closer 2-shot, Nicole looking at the judge with puppy eyes as Ringo continues talking.
Ringo: She also has no prior criminal record, and we can present excellent references.
Ringo: Defendant requests to be released on her own recognizance.
