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 575
Panel 1Cathy, Nicole, and Seamus at the counter. Cathy has her screen out, set to notepad-size. Nicole is holding the Witness rather ineptly, pointing it up away from the people around her.
Cathy: Since you're new to firearms we strongly recommend you sign up for a handgun safety course, which is offered at the shooting range next door.
Nicole: Uh-huh.
Panel 2
Cathy, Nicole and Seamus. Nicole has removed the magazine (empty) and is looking at it curiously.
Nicole: Is there a way I can try before I buy?
Cathy: Of course. We can send a fab order to the range and they'll have a copy ready for you. No obligation beyond the course fees.
Panel 3
Same scene, Nicole lays the display gun down on the counter, now Seamus speaks up.
Nicole: I've already trained to use a zinger. Not sure why I need ...
Seamus: Oh, you really should take the course. There are differences between zinger and firearm that will surprise you.
Panel 4
Cathy smiles as she taps the order into her Screen. Nicole still isn't sure she isn't being snookered.
Nicole: All right.
Nicole: Kind of a convenient arrangement you have with that range, huh.
Cathy: No one told us we couldn't do it.
