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
Diana is standing at the far end of a target lane, Monty next to her (his head just clears the counter before her, we'll see in another view he's standing on a box. She is aiming her zingerband with her fist oriented palm downward towards a paper target we can see in the far right foreground.
Monty: Now, to charge the weapon, press the top stud on the band.
Diana: Like so?
Monty: Correct. Now, to fire, clench your fist hard. The band will sense your tendons tensing and fire the weapon.
Panel 2
Closer 2-shot on Monty and Diana. Diana fires the weapon, her face screwed up in an anticipatory flinch.
SFX: ZRINGG!!!
Diana: Guh!
Panel 3
Looking downrange from Diana's POV. The target, about 5 meters distant, is unscathed.
Diana: I missed??
Monty: You flinched. It is only natural for a beginner.
Monty: Do not be afraid of your weapon. Control your breathing, and keep trying until you get the hang of it.
