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
Alyss is leaning on the console, recovering from the head-rush. The others are gathered around.
Alyss: I'm fine, Lorelei, but their database protocols are about a century out-of-date.
Alyss: And that was a lot of data.
Enrique: But is any of it useful to us?
Panel 2
Alyss has pulled the crystal from her ear-hole. Alyss regards it somewhat ruefully.
Alyss: I guess … maybe. It's an embarrassment of riches.
Kofi: Or an embarrassment of distractions. Or misinformation.
Panel 3
Alyss places the crystal in a small case.
Alyss: Could be either. That's why I want to take this to Sergio, unless any of you has a better idea.
Lorelei: Are you going to stick that thing in his ear?
Panel 4
Alyss walks towards one of the rear security portals, smiling back at Lorelei and the group.
Alyss: Why, do you think it would turn him on?
Alyss: Most likely he'll stick it in his mainbrain.
Alyss: He may be remarkable but he's not into kink.
