Dark plans fall like thunderbolts.
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 2040
Panel 1Glass gets in Stern's face.
Glass: Once we determined the trajectory of the impactor I popped out to PS-187 myself.
Glass: It didn't take long to spot where it had been sabotaged.
Stern: S-sabotaged? H-how?
Panel 2
Glass and Stern as Campos looks on, thoughtfully.
Glass: At 13:50 on this day you accessed the station and switched the UHF decoder bus to a looped multiplexor, effectively blinding the ...
Stern: N-no, sir! I never left the City today!
Glass: The station log shows your code was used to open the access hatch, Stern.
Panel 3
Split panel, in the first half, Stern expresses shock at the accusation.
Glass: Did you give that code to anyone else?
Stern: Of course not!
In the second half, Stern looks completely bewildered.
Glass: Then how do you explain that it was your code that was used?
Stern: I … I can't … sir.
Panel 4
Glass puts a finger to his temple as Glass lays a controlling hand on Stern's shoulder. Stern looks like he's living in a nightmare.
Glass: Senhor Stern, per your contract with the militia, you are charged with sabotage and will be detained in a secure location pending a full investigation.
Glass: You may contact your advogado but your communications will be monitored.
Glass: Capitã Campos, take charge of the detainee.
