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
Cut to: A private office. Tong Xie-Po is behind the desk, and Ma Bo-Nu is in front. Tong angrily slams a tablet down on the desk, while Ma looks perplexed.
Caption: Meanwhile, in Tong Xie-Po's private office:
Tong: Dammit, Bo-Nu, you've got to stop your over-spending!
Ma: But Xie-Po, you said we would be rich now.
Panel 2
Two-shot of Tong and Ma
Tong: Most of Uncle Po's assets are tied up in real estate and other investments.
Tong: I had to use most of the liquid cash to pay off that damned lawyer.
Panel 3
Ma pleads with Tong, who can only face-palm.
Ma: But what's the point of being rich if we can't live it up?
Ma: You said once Uncle Po died I could have anything I want!
Panel 4
Tong braces himself with both hands on his desk and looks at Ma levelly.
Tong: You must only be patient a while longer, Bo-Nu.
Tong: Soon I will be liquidating one investment and then you can live it up as much as you want.
