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 860
Panel 1In the cargo bay – the capsule containing Nicole has been opened, and she is being lifted from it by a man we can only see from behind. She has a breathing mask on her face and appears unconscious. He is not wearing the same clothing as Baines. Bobinardi is looking on and he is not happy.
Caption: A bit more than three hours later:
Wayne: That's not O'Murchadha!
Man: Oh, you noticed.
Panel 2
Swing the view around so we get a good three shot with 'the Man,' a jowly-faced fellow with a 5 o'clock shadow, Mr. Tombs, who is still carrying an unconscious Nicole.
Tombs: The primary target was able to evade me, so I took the secondary target.
Wayne: Mr. Tombs, you promise more than you deliver.
Panel 3
Tombs lays Nicole on a platform. Bobinardi looks on.
Tombs: I thought you wanted the information that O'Murchadha has.
Tombs: He can trade it for his granddaughter here.
Panel 4
Bobinardi sees the light. Tombs removes the breather mask from Nicole
Wayne: His granddaughter? Really?
Tombs: In a manner of speaking. He cares about her and we can use that to crowbar what you want out of him.
