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
Seamus and Nicole are in the Four Wings restaurant, sitting at a table in the corner. They are dining.
Seamus: We're going to be on Mercury five days, so you'll see quite a few West Terrans here.
Nicole: Gensaxwal employees mostly, right?
Panel 2
Seamus and Nicole. Nicole eats heartily as Seamus lectures.
Seamus: All West Terrans are, one way or another.
Seamus: The same transhuman technologies we L-5ers use to transform our bodies into fanciful configurations, the Terrans use to divide themselves into social classes.
Panel 3
Seamus and Nicole, Nicole still putting it away.
Seamus: You saw two of them a short while ago.
Seamus: The Excecutives, who give the orders, and the Associates, who carry them out.
Panel 4
Nicole and Seamus.
Seamus: There are other classes – Managers, Geeks, Artisans, and you want to avoid the Checkers. Large, insanely strong, and completely humorless.
Seamus: But Associates are most common, both in the population and status.
