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
Another view of Nicole confronting the trio of street-toughs (one of them larger than the others). Tough 1 (not the larger one) is in the center, Tough 2 (the bigger one) on Tough 1's right, Tough 3 on Tough 1's left..
Nicole: Look, just let my, uh, companion go and no one will get hurt.
Tough 1: Ha! For'n devil thinks she can give orders? Make threats?
Panel 2A
Nicole extends her right fist forward, activating her zringer (one of the shopping bags hangs from her elbow).
Nicole: I'm not kidding, arsehole.
Nicole: Now, step aside, or ...
Panel 2B
Same shot, but the zringer is fizzling out.
Nicole: What the shuck?
SFX: Fizz-pop!
Panel 3
One of the toughs, with an evil grin, holds forth a small device, with a flashing light on it.
Tough 1: We don' like zingers on our turf, for'n devil.
Tough 1: Tha's why we have this gizmodic -- issa zinger zapper-crapper.
Panel 4
The toughs advance on Nicole.
Tough 1: What say we teach this for'n devil some manners, eh?
Tough 2: Yeah.
