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
In the alleyway with the toughs and the dead guy. Paramedics are putting the toughs on stretchers, while an ME examines Ma-Bo Nu. Observing it all is the trench-coated Chief Inspector Ho Rai-Chiu. Another investigator, Lu Richang, stands with him.
Lu: Looks pretty clear to me, Chief Ho.
Ho: Tell me what you think, Richang.
Panel 2
Two-shot, Lu and Ho
Lu: Larceny has had those three on their radar for months. Suspected android-theft ring.
Ho: And the deceased?
Lu: I've had my people ask around ...
Panel 3
Looking up from Ma-Bo still on the ground, to Lu and Ho looking down at him.
Lu: Ma-Bo Nu comes ... came here from Xin Xiang every few weeks, to frequent the brothels ...
Lu: … the ones with android doxies.
Ho: So, he had a thing for fake flesh, huh. Occupation?
Panel 4
Another two-shot of Lu and Ho.
Lu: Apparently he's a trust-fund baby. Nephew of the late Po Xu-ke.
Lu: Likely had his dalliances here to avoid embarrassing the family back home.
Ho: Looks like his uncle will be scolding him in the after-life now.
