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
Bok is having a restaurant lunch with Zander, and also Lupin and Sargon (from Volume 4: Venus 23) as Elric hurries in to join them.
Bok: Elric! Glad you could join us after all.
Elric: Sorry I'm late, I've been unbelievably busy these days.
Panel 2
Elric takes a seat between Lupin and Sargon.
Lupin: Busy? I hear a lot of businesses are struggling to stay open, with all this uncertainty.
Elric: Funny thing is, Lupin, when you destroy thousands of buildings, people want to replace them.
Panel 3
More chatter
Sargon: Replace the buildings? The destroyed borvonite spheres are still being re-grown.
Bok: Sargon, I would imagine most owners want the replacements to be beefed-up, stronger, heat-resistant, etc.
Bok: That means new designs.
Panel 4
More chatter
Elric: Exactly so, Bok. Not everyone is a pessimist.
Elric: I only made journeyman architect a few cycles ago and Senhor Mackelmor has dumped a hundred projects on me.
Lupin: So, Elric old chum, since you're prospering I don't suppose you'll be picking up the tab for this lunch?
