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.

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Panel 1
Scene change. In a darkened office, a silhouetted figure removes a vial from a small package.
Caption: Meanwhile, somewhere in Bubbleopolis:
Figure (thinking): Damn. It had to be the Cytomax.
Figure: Cheap bastards couldn't send me something softer.
Panel 2
The figure, whose identity remains hidden, loads the vial into a hypo-injector.
Figure: Bad enough this goes against every reason I went into this business.
Figure: But if I'm found out, I'll be lucky if I'm only indentured for a century.
Panel 3
The silhouetted figure exits the office. We can see she's female.
Figure: But … what other choice do I have?
Figure: I signed Trudeau's contracts and now that fink has me over a barrel.
Panel 4
The silhouetted figure now approaches the bed in the sanatório where patient Jane Doe 1782 lay comatose. The lighting is subdued.
Figure: I mean, this poor thing, whoever she is, can't be anyone important.
Figure: But she must be, somehow, otherwise why would anyone want her dead?
