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
Again, Seamus in the lower left. In the background, another spaceship rockets through space.
Seamus: Shortly before Enterprise disappeared, a third vessel, the Brahmaputra, launched with a live crew – it was a 'generation' ship, with the idea that the original crew's children and grandchildren would arrive at its destination.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Nicole and Seamus, on the bed. They have gotten more comfortable about their situation.
Nicole: Right. It was headed towards the Sirius system, after a Terran-like world was detected orbiting Sirius B.
Seamus: And a bit more than 4 light-years out, it was pulled far off-course by a large gravitational mass ...
Panel 3
Another two-shot of Nichole and Seamus.
Nicole: Of dark matter!
Seamus: As was surmised later. They attempted a course correction but were thwarted again when they flew too close to yet another large dark-matter mass.
Panel 4
Seamus continues his story. Nicole has an ironic expression.
Seamus: Explorations of the Oort Cloud have since confirmed that the Enterprise and Brahmaputra were doomed from the start ...
Nicole: Because, as they say, 'Deep space is full of shit.'
