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
Nicole, Veronica and Buford emerge from a portal marked "Gate 5". They are skipping along on tippy-toes, a nearby sign marked "GE1" indicates a 1-grav electro-gravity environment. Another reads "Welcome to Voltaire Station." Nicole is exultant.
