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.

Nicole: My work here is going into a war effort, however well-intended. Blood will be on my hands.
Panel 3
Nicole is not happy with Murphy's remark.
Murphy: But you have already taken lives, have you not?

Nicole: I don't go looking for trouble.
Panel 4
Moe sits down on the bench next to Nicole.
Moe: I have no passion for killing, either. At heart I'm a builder, not a destroyer.
Moe: If only you could understand what it is we're fighting to end.
Moe: Let me tell you a story ...
