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 over near the monitor screens, Nicole and Murphy talk with Seamus (Jesús and Moe can be seen in the background watching the monitor screens).
Seamus: A virus?
Nicole: A sophisticated one. Got by Murphy's defenses.
Panel 2
Seamus looks thoughtful as Nicole continues speaking.
Murphy: I'm pretty sure I picked it up when I hacked Argosy's comm system.
Nicole: You're at risk, too, since you also hacked into Argosy's systems.
Panel 3
Now Seamus looks worried.
Seamus: Oh, dear.
Murphy: You won't find it unless you run a Level 2 diagnostic on your implant.
Nicole: What's worse is, we don't know what the purpose of that thing is.
Panel 4
Seamus begins herding Nicole and Murphy away from the monitor screens.
Seamus: Yes, a virus that sophisticated is not likely a prank. It must have a purpose.
Seamus: Please come with me ladies, I'll need your help.
