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 2490
Panel 1A door on the side of the container has been opened, Li is carrying some large parts of machinery as Warren looks on.
Li: What we have here is the tools we will use to build a farm.
Li: Help me bring this stuff out.
Panel 2
Li and Warren are building a machine of some sort, on a frame about 3x3 meters.
Li: Okay, I need a couple of those rods marked, ‘P’
Warren: Got ‘em.
Panel 3
What they’ve assembled looks something like a tank crossed with a harvester.
Li: Now, in this configuration, the Combine will mow the tall grass and collect it into hay bales we’ll need for later.
Panel 4
Li is fiddling with a control panel.
Warren: Why don’t we get some Level 3s to do this work?
Li: To firmly establish ownership, we must mix our labor with the land.
Panel 5
The Combine trundles off across the field, mowing the grass and collecting it.
Warren: Pretty cool. Mixing our labor with the land isn’t so hard.
Li: This is just the beginning, son. There’s lots more to do before sundown.
Panel 6
Warren looks skyward, shielding his eyes from the sunglare,
Warren: Sundown. Yeah, I hear they have those here.
Li: You’ll have to get used to the natural rhythms here. Sunrise, sundown, rainstorms, meteor showers, volcanic eruptions …
Warren: You … you’re joking, right?
