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 84
Panel 1Exterior, the Helio-Flyer arcing away from the Sun, which is still almost large enough to fill the frame.
Caption: Accelerating hard against the Sun's gravity, the Helio-Flyer pulls away from that nuclear furnace and towards its rendezvous with Mercury.
Panel 2
In the cockpit, Nicole stares straight ahead through glowing eyes. Take in enough that we can still see the wires coming out of her suit's fore-arm and plugged into the side panel.
Caption: With the ship's control systems off-line, Nicole must control the craft via her cortical implant.
Panel 3
Closer shot on Nicole, we can see the strain in her face.
Caption: The implant has no 'auto-pilot' function, so she must stay awake and alert for the next 29.5 hours.
Caption: Nicole commands her bio-suit to pump her full of stimulants.
Panel 4
Exterior shot, the Helio-Fllyer zooms away into space. Mercury is one of the brighter dots in the distance.
Nicole (thought): Next time I do something like this, I want a bio-suit stocked with whiskey.
