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 697
Panel 1Seamus is reclining in his bed, wearing his slacks and shirt, viewing something on his personal Screen.
From the screen: Dearest Seamus – things have been routine here but news of the Vesta Vista scandal did stir things up quite a bit.
Screen: Vivian Wells is an in-situ engineer on loan from VV and I'm afraid she caught a lot of flack from some of the staff.
Panel 2
We see what Seamus sees on his screen – in a window, Dr. Johanna Diamondi speaking, in a pre-recorded message. (Text on screen reads SENT: 16.10.566)
Johanna: I managed to calm things down by pointing out that Wells was just one of hundreds of VV employees who had nothing to do with the plot to smash Ceres.
Johanna: It helped that people here know that I'm engaged to you.
Panel 3
Seamus, looking bemused as the message continues.
Johanna (from Screen): Word of your involvement in foiling the plot has made you something of a celebrity here.
Johanna: Everyone is looking forward to meeting you when you arrive in December.
Panel 4
Cut to Murphy standing outside the door into Seamus' room, looking pensive.
Johanna (OP): Of course I'm looking forward to that too. Also, to when you're close enough that light-lag doesn't prevent us from chatting in real time.
Johanna: Love you, darling. Please respond soon.
