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
Jump to a bit later, Diana is on her feet, her arm healed. She's projecting casual clothing. Lorelei is gesturing towards a comm station on the other wall in the room, which also has some other bedroom furniture. At one point we can see a door to an adjacent washroom.
Caption: Lorelei set me up with a workstation and account on the house network.
Caption: This way I could continue my explorations in the Redes, in relative safety.
Panel 2
Diana is at the workstation, but looking distracted.
Caption: Of course I knew that deClayre could be monitoring my research, here.
Caption: The only thing I could do about that was use a two-pronged approach.
Caption: I'd do my more general searching on the workstation but then follow links directly with my implant.
Panel 3
Different angle on Diana. A separate holoscreen is visible in front and a bit off to one side. It includes an image of Sergio Fritch.
Caption: It was klunky and tedious going, but I did find a few things out.
Caption: Most importantly, that Sergio Fritch was also a former member of Républicains Pour La Démocratie, at about the same time Hayami was.
Panel 4
Close-up on Diana, looking worried.
Caption: Along with some other Gianturco Garantia employees.
Caption: That means the two biggest security companies in Bubbleopolis have likely been compromised.
Caption: I wasn’t at all comfortable being in shit this deep. I wanted more than a shovel. A back-hoe, or maybe a nutron drill.
