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
Same scene, Seamus is lecturing the girls.
Seamus: It may well be that Ma Bo-Nu deserved his fate.
Seamus: And in L-5 City, or in the Belt, you might have a good case.
Seamus: But this is Huoxing and Buford's rash action has placed us all in jeopardy.
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Seamus.
Seamus: So our focus now must be on getting off Huoxing -- as quietly as possible.
Seamus: Once we're at the Stickney Spaceport on Phobos, we should be out of danger.
Seamus: But until we get there, I want no more screw-ups, understand?
Panel 3
Looking past Seamus at the girls. Nicole, still inebriated, is giving Seamus a mock-salute. Buford is more subdued, and Ventura looks apprehensive.
Nicole: Roger wilco, bossaroonie!
Buford: Understood, sir. I'll do my job.
Ventura: But, what is to become of me? Nicole said ...
Panel 4
Two-shot of Seamus and Ventura (we'll also see Nicole in the frame), Seamus looks at the android tenderly.
Seamus: Veronica, I promise that I will do my best to honor Po Xu-ke's wishes for you.
Seamus: At the very least, I'll get you off-world.
Seamus: But, you'll have to trust me.
