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 female guest turns to address Nicole, who is a bit startled.
Female guest: Is it true, young lady, that you are not merely an escort, but the famous Sun-Diving Girl we've heard so much about lately?
Nicole: Er--yes ma'am, I am Nicole Oresme, science assistant and part-time stunt pilot.
Panel 2
Now all eyes are on Nicole.
Female guest: I read that your ship was partially disabled during the dive, and you flew it all the way back to Mercury using your 'Plant?
Nicole: Yes ma'am, I ...
Female guest: Amazing! It must have been a horrendous experience.
Panel 3
Close-up on Nicole, thinking about where she was rather than where she is.
Nicole: Yeah, it was difficult, but easier than getting dressed-up as eye-candy for a bunch of swells ...
Panel 4
Pull back to see the guests, and Seamus. The male guest is suppressing laughter, the female guest looks offended, and Seamus looks mortified. Nicole holds a hand over her mouth.
Nicole: Oh, crat! Did I say that out loud?
