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
Exterior shot of the Helio-Flyer in transit to Sol – in this shot the sun is behind us and Mercury is a large white dot in the background.
Caption: The key to Helio-flying is speed.
Caption: Shielding has its limits so you want to get in and out quickly.
Panel 2
Another exterior shot – the Helio-Flyer is flying in a sunward arc, Sol looms large and very bright.
Caption: For the shortest possible transit time, accelerate sunward at 15 gravs for about a day, transiting into a polar sub-orbit
Panel 3
In the cockpit, Nicole is asleep in her suit.
Caption: Nicole's bio-suit attends to all of her biological needs for the duration, which includes scheduling sleep time.
Panel 4
Another exterior shot, now the Flyer is turned around and thrusting in an angle away from Sol, which now fills 1/3 of the panel
Caption: At 20 million km from Sol, the flyer is decelerating along its trajectory, which will slow it to 250kps at 4 million km from the sun's southern pole.
