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
Wook, Diana, Dominic and Alyss are back in the lab with the CP model. Dominic is looking at the model intently, his 'eyes' telescoping out.
Caption: Dominic downed three shots of Glenlivet and we returned to Monty's lab without me killing him.
Dominic: Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Dominic: And that monkey will be as surprised as I am.
Panel 2
Dominic touches something on the console and parts of the CP model glow.
Dominic: It uses holography to 'fake' two extra spatial dimensions.
Dominic: Do you notice that if you look at this thing for long enough, you get a headache?
Panel 3
Three-shot of Diana, Alyss and Dominic.
Diana: Not really.
Alyss: Actually yes, now that you mention it.
Dominic: Ah, the advantage of youthful neuro-plasticity.
Dominic: Your young brain can more easily adjust to the illusion.
Panel 4
Diana looks at Dominic darkly.
Caption: It occurred to me that my 'young brain' had still not adjusted to using Displacers. But instead I said:
Diana: But this is holographic fakery. Is there a way someone can actually build something in six-dimensional spacetime?
Dominic: Sure, all you need is a six-dimensional fabber. Such a silly question.
