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
Satrapi's office. Looks like a throne room at once both high-tech and decadent, with Adilieh reposed on an elevated sofa, and two servants (one human, one android, both beautiful) attending. We see her from Seamus' POV.
Adileh: Seamus O'Murchadha! Did you bring me the heart of Snow White?
Panel 2
Switch view to Seamus presenting Murphy.
Seamus: I only have the heart your broke yourself, many years ago.
Seamus: May I present Murphy, heir to Po Xu-ke, and owner de jure of twelve million shares in Project X.
Panel 3
Murphy steps forward to shake hands with Adileh (because her sofa is on a platform she doesn't have to stand to be eye-level with the gynoid).
Adileh: A pleasure to finally meet you.
Adileh: Seamus' description of you was, shall we say, tantalizingly minimalist.
Adileh: But where is your other companion? The famous sun-diver?
Panel 4
Adileh, Murphy, and Seamus. Adileh is trying to complement Murphy but Murphy is cool to it.
Seamus: I'm afraid our travails enroute here were a bit much for her, and she's recuperating at Áine's Spa.
Adileh: I heard about your pirate encounter. Nice rescue work, Murphy.
Murphy: It was nothing. Really.
