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
Establishing shot of Drusilla and Max in their vid studio.
Drusilla: So today we have reached a turning point in the Kornbluth & Company saga.
Max: Kornbluth has cooperated with our investigators, although not by opening their books as we asked ...
Panel 2
Two-shot of Drusilla and Max.
Drusilla: … instead Kornbluth himself invited us to tour the testing facilities ourselves.
Max: I wasn't able to attend, but I understand it was quite an eye-opener, eh, Dru?
Drusilla: You can say that again, Max.
Panel 3
Video clip of Drusilla being shown around an industrial plant by Kornbluth, a nerdy-looking fellow.
Drusilla (voice-over): He showed us the process by which werpolitzi are tested, and records of the results showing no change in quality of the materials.
Drusilla: What's more, an anonymous source has forwarded records of secret communiques among the six largest buyers ...
Panel 4
Medium close-up on Drusilla.
Drusilla: Indicating they had been in collusion, in a plot to degrade the reputation of the four major werpolitzi suppliers!
Drusilla: Some are speculating that these buyers wanted to force the suppliers to re-negotiate their contracts to get lower prices for their goods.
Drusilla: Kornbluth and Company were an obstacle to that plan, which is why the same six schemers launched a smear campaign against Kornbluth!
Panel 5
Diana sits looking at the monitor screen, her arms crossed.
Diana (thought): A smear campaign you clowns happily went along with, at least at first.
Diana: I wonder if all their reporting is like this?
Diana: These stories were from 10 days ago. I wonder what they're up to currently?
Panel 6
Looking over Diana's shoulder at the monitor, which is showing a news page with a headline, 'Drusilla and Max Program Suspended' and underneath, 'Producers ponder how to proceed after the death of Max Marrón.' Include a stock photo of Max and a grieving Drusilla. Some body copy which is illegible.
Diana: Puta merda!
