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 830
Strip 135Panel 1
Exterior shot of the Cissonius, showing off her lines.
Caption: Cissonius is a custom-built space-yacht of the Strasbourg design, carrying many of the latest advances in luxury space-faring.
Panel 2
A cutaway view of the Cissonius showing her decks and sections.
Caption: Her systems can carry a full complement of 15 standard bionts for a voyage of up to 150 days, at an average continuous acceleration of 0.17 gravs.
Panel 3
View of a typical passenger cabin – not large but space is very efficiently managed.
Caption: The passenger cabins are not large but they are well-appointed and efficiently arranged for comfort.
Panel 4
Wide view of the lounge, with some of the passengers.
Caption: The design includes a spacious lounge where passengers can stretch their legs and socialize – or ponder the cosmos through the polarized viewports.
Panel 5
View of a very sleek-looking futuristic restaurant kitchen.
Caption: The galley is of course very state-of-the-art, with Higgswave thermalizers, omniview heat sensors, and 2-litre proprocessors.
Caption: Not to mention an ample larder and a mini fas-grow section for fresh vegetables.
Panel 6
Another diagrammatic view of Cissonius, highlighting the shield-generator grid and power plant.
Caption: Her shielding is rated to 500 kilojoules per second, and tied to an absorption system that can convert much of that energy into stored electrical energy for the plasma engines, extending the craft's speed and range.
Panel 7
View inside the engineering/drive section of the boat, with conduits and pipes running everywhere among large vessels.
Caption: The engineering/drive section is very complex and generally off-limits to curious passengers.
Panel 8
Nicole is with Hugh Howard, the crew's mechanic, both of them hip-deep in hardware. Hugh is an android.
Caption: But exceptions are sometimes made.
Nicole: What does this do –?
Hugh: DON'T TOUCH THAT!
