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 80
Panel 1Overhead shot of the Helio-Flyer streaking across the Photosphere.
Caption: The Helio-Flyer can only survive the Corona where it thins out at the poles, giving it two narrow escape windows.
Panel 2
In the cock-put, white-eyed Nicole looking like she's concentrating hard.
Caption: Escape requires a 100-grav boost for 14 minutes.
Caption: Unfortunately, the ship's dampeners can only cut that back to 50 gravs in the cockpit.
Panel 3
Exterior shot, now the wing and stabilizer nacelles are firing.
Caption: Even though Nicole has lived most of her life in 3 gravs, modern medicine enables her to survive much harder acceleration.
Panel 4
In the cock-pit, we see Nicole's head pushed back against the back of her helmet, her cheeks sunken and eyelids peeled back by the acceleration.
Caption: Ordinarily, if she were to have a momentary black-out, the ship could continue the boost sequence automatically.
Caption: But since her Implant is controlling the ship, whether a black-out would matter is … unknown.
