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's avatar kneels to face the doll.
Nicole: So what exactly are you, anyway? Are you Murphy's 'inner child?'
Doll: I don't know, I've always been here.
Panel 2
Hoisting the doll onto her hip, Nicole begins walking along the corridor.
Nicole: I guess the thing to do is find Murphy's adult avatar.
Doll: Avatar?
Panel 3
Murphy's avatar is standing atop a grassy hillock under an alien sky, in a standing yoga pose, looking very serene. We can see Nicole and the Doll as tiny figures in the distance.
Caption: 87,500 milli-seconds later:
Nicole: There you are.
Panel 4
Murphy relaxes into a normal standing position as Nicole walks up with the doll.
Murphy: No matter where I go, here I am.
Nicole: I found your Inner Child, here, in the motivator section, shorting out a pair of Čapek nodules.
Panel 5
Nicole hands the doll to Murphy.
Murphy: I see. Please give her to me.
Doll: Are you my mommy?
Panel 6
Murphy turns around holding the doll in extended arms over a well that has suddenly instantiated behind her. Nicole is flummoxed.
Murphy: No, I'm not.
Panel 7
Murphy drops the doll down the well. Nicole goggles.
Doll: AIEEEEEeeeeeee …..
Panel 8
Murphy calmly walks past Nicole, who is outraged.
Nicole: WHAT THE SHUCK?
Murphy: That was a virus.
Murphy: I don't have an 'inner child.'
