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.

Murphy: Oh, no! {chuckle}

Adileh: Or who invented Master Miyaki.
Panel 2
Seamus, Adileh and Murphy.
Seamus: Thank the odd gods for small favors. You did better with your project.
Adileh: Yes, well, I only re-invented money. Or at least, money suitable for interplanetary trade.
Panel 3-
Murphy, Seamus and Adileh.
Murphy: How do you mean?
Adileh: I developed a practical way to marry a secure electronic payments system to physical bullion stores.
Adileh: Whether they're called augrams and silgrams or jinkč and yinkč, it's all based on my mathematical schema. It's unbreakable.
Panel 4
Seamus and Adileh trade challenging looks.
Seamus: Unbreakable? Only so far.
Adileh: So far for 265 years.
Adileh: You're just jealous because I thought to name the smallest currency units 'satrapi.'
