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
The ship is zooming a few thousand kilometers above a star's photosphere (in a sort of repeat of Nicole's helio-flight in Volume 1).
Hugo (from ship): Hull temperature holding steady at 3,057 Kelvin.
Hugo: Electro-grav field fluctuations nominal.
Murphy: I kind of wish Nicole could be along for this ride. She'd appreciate it.
Panel 2
Now the ship is skirting the event horizon of a black hole. It looks a bit stretched sideways.
Hugo: Captain Murphy, I do believe we've reached the ship's tolerance of tidal forces.
Murphy: Very well, break orbit. I don't want to lose any more time than we need to.
Panel 3
Looking at our heroes in the command room. Murphy almost looks bored, Hugo is glancing at Eithne, who is curled up in a fetal position, her eyes very wide.
Murphy: That's enough shake-down, Mr. Galvéz. Let's go back to the barn.
Hugo: I suspect our boson would agree with you, if she could squeak a word out.
