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
Back in cyberspace – Murphy continues gliding through an increasingly thick tangle of data lines.
Nicole (OP thoughtsend): Getting close?
Murphy (thoughtsend): Hush.
Panel 2
Murphy approaches something that looks like a medieval fortress made of Legos, beyond several other smaller structures.
Murphy (thought): Well, this looks promising.
Murphy (thought): Also, scary.
Panel 3
Murphy approaches a fortress wall at a low level, then skims cautiously up the side.
Murphy (thought): How do I get into this thing without being noticed?
Panel 4
Murphy peers through a crenel, at a guard/avatar (appearing slightly incongruously as a 21st-Century riot cop) walking away along the rampart.
Murphy (thought): Hmmmm.
Panel 5
Murphy steps through the crenel onto the rampart, simultaneously disguising herself as a guard.
Murphy (thought): This should work.
Panel 6
Murphy cautiously walks down an interior flight of steps.
Murphy (thought): So far so good.
Panel 7
Murphy walks through a room with a double-row of photographs on a wall labeled, 'Problems.' Some of them have red Xs stamped over them. One with an X is Nina Levin. Two more without an X are Nigel, Murphy, and Mike the asteroid wrangler (barely visible).
Murphy (thoughtsend): Uh-oh.
Panel 8
Murphy blunders into a room full of guards standing around. Several of them are turning to look at her.
Murphy: Uh … hi! Stomped on any good faces lately?
