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 839

Panel 1
Amos, Murphy and Mitch stand before a large machine.
Amos: This is the pockrocket fabber.
Murphy: 'Pockrocket?'
Mitch: Short for 'pocket rocket.'

Panel 2
Amos refers to a monitor screen displaying an image of a 'Pockrocket.'
Amos: A compact, automated one-shot delivery vehicle, capable of transporting up to 250 kilograms from here to anywhere in the Solar System.
Murphy: 'One-shot?'

Panel 3
Amos and Murphy. Murphy is looking at the monitor intently.
Amos: It's basically a propulsion system with electronic guidance pushing a small chamber shielded against radiation – to protect the electronics, and the payload.
Amos: At the other end, the pockrocket is converted back to its component materials and can be re-fabbed for return or used for whatever else is desired.

Panel 4
Amos crosses his arms and smiles. Mitch is grinning and shrugging.
Amos: It's expensive, but there's a niche market for this kind of speedy delivery service.
Amos: What did you want to send to Saturn?
Murphy: Just myself.
