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.

Transcript For Strip 471

Panel 1
Now the girls are in an electronics shop. Nicole is looking at a display of some screens. Ventura is looking thoughtful.
Nicole: Hmm. I wonder if Buford would like to have a Screen of her own?
Ventura: ... persons with rights ... what about Beltapes?
Panel 2
Nicole turns to look at Ventura, somewhat annoyed by the distraction.
Nicole: What about Beltapes?
Nicole: Oh. Yeah, Beltapes, furries, porpoises, anthrofish ... the rule is anyone who can understand what rights are and can both respect and demand them, has them.

Panel 3
Nicole is examining one of the Screens from the display. Ventura stands by.
Nicole: Ooo! A plasmodic orthochrome display! Sixty-four teraquad processor!
Nicole: Maybe I'll get one for Buford and one for me.
Nicole: Hey, Ventura, would you like one, too?

Panel 4
Nicole is turned to look at Ventura, a bit embarrassed by her faux pas. Ventura is demure.
Ventura: I would but ... I'm afraid I can't really own anything. I'm property.
Ventura: Anything I bring back to the shop is taken by my owner.
