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 Chan's office. Chan lounges in his executive chair as a stone-faced Peng-Bo speaks through the tele-screen on Chan's desk.
Peng-Bo: Chan, in the first place, I don't believe this theory. If Tong did plot the death of Ma, there are at least a dozen less ... spectacular ways he might have accomplished it.
Peng-Bo: And without the risk of involving off-world celebrities.
Panel 2
Medium shot of Chan, examining his fingernails as Peng-Bo continues OP from the telescreen.
Peng-Bo: Furthermore, the complications this could create would not serve either of us.
Peng-Bo: Accusing O'Murchadha would create an inter-world incident during the delicate negotions regarding the Ionian matter.
Panel 3
In Peng-Bo's office, two-shot of Peng-Bo and Chan on the telescreen.
Chan: I rather think you would be more inconvenienced than I.
Chan: However, I would be willing to suspend the investigation ... as a favor.
Panel 4
Medium chot of Peng-Bo, looking unhappy.
Peng-Bo: A favor. Of course.
Peng-Bo: Be careful granting favors, Chan. When accounts become too unbalanced, the scales will not usually tip in your favor.
