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 492
Panel 1Nicole walks over to where her holo-beret is laying on the ground, picks it up. We can see Buford and Ventura in the background.
Nicole: Another question I have is ...
Nicole: How the hell did Ma-Bo Nu know where to find us?
Nicole: Ventura,do you have some kind of tracker on you?
Panel 2
Two-shot of Nicole and Ventura. Nicole is placing the beret on her head. The medium-length curls re-appear.
Ventura: My owner has one in me, in case a rental customer fails to return me.
Nicole: That doesn't explain how Ma-Bo was able to find us.
Nicole: Can you do a self-scan, and see if you have a second tracking device?
Panel 3
Nicole is picking up the two shopping bags that had been dropped in the fight earlier. Ventura is in the foreground, with a sort of glazed look in her eyes (she's looking inward).
Ventura: Uhm ... huh. Yes, there's a second beacon.
Nicole: Can you turn it off? Or remove it?
Panel 4
Close 3-shot of Buford, Nicole and Ventura. Ventura looks a bit embarrassed.
Ventura: I can't deactivate it, and I'll need some help to remove it.
Ventura: It's located in -- a rather inconvenient place.
