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 1734
Panel 1Diana is at the green grocers, an extra bag in one hand while she keys her payment into the shopkeeper's console. But she is also wincing in reaction to her phone buzzing.
Caption: The zucchini and summer squash at Kelsey's were first-rate, and such a good deal that I was only mildly annoyed by Juan's telcall.
Caption: It was my day off, dammit, and I didn't want to have to deal with whatever problem Juan had that couldn't wait until Primias.
Panel 2
Medium close-up of Diana holding her palm alongside her face.
Caption: Naturally, Juan wanted me to meet him at some bar right away.
Caption: About something urgent that he didn't want to discuss in a telcall.
Caption: At first I figured he was just looking for a partner in a nooner.
Panel 3
Laden with grocery bags and her flycar/briefcase, Diana strides towards a booth marked, 'Instatrans Deslocar Servicios.'
Caption: Still, something in Juan's voice told me that this was not just a lame attempt at a booty call.
Caption: Also, he insisted that I meet him via Displacer, rather than use my car.
Caption: I hate using those things. They give me headaches. And he knows this.
Panel 4
Diana, still laden with her grocery bags, is standing near a booth in a low-lit, elegant establishment. Seated at the booth are Juan, on the left, and Alyss Roaz, on the right.
Caption: If I'd known who was waiting to meet me I might have gone home and put my groceries away first.
Caption: Because I knew that any caper involving Alyss Roaz – yes, THAT Alyss Roaz – was going send me down some damn rabbit hole.
