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.

Panel 1
Abdi leads Nicole into a large room full of pipes, cylindrical tanks, and scattered control panels. We see another man (his back to us) attending one of the control panels. Now Nichole looks more interested.
Abdi: This is our main engineering section – or at least, as much as one can enter without protective gear.
Panel 2
Abdi and Nicole approach the man at the control panel. The man turns to greet Nicole – he is lanky and dark-skinned, black hair.
Abdi: This is Jayesh Patel, our senior engineer.
Jayesh: What? Oh, one of our passengers. Hello there.
Panel 3
Nicole looks more interested in the machinery than in the men.
Nicole: Wow, is this a two-stage singularity drive? I didn't know any were still in service.
Jayesh: Yeah, well, I've modified things quite a bit. Hardly factory standard.
Panel 4
Jayesh grins as he makes a joke, but Abdi and Nicole roll their eyes.
Jayesh: And she can make the Kessel Run in Twelve Parsecs.
Nicole: Oh, geez, that joke was old when my boss was in diapers.
