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.

Comfortable-looking chairs along with convenience-tables, arranged in an inward-facing circle, have emerged from the floor. Adileh, Seamus and Murphy begin to seat themsevles.

Murphy: I was beginning to think I was back on Huoxing.
Panel 4
The attendants bring drinks and hors d'ouvres on trays. Adileh is relaxed, laughing.

Adileh: And you have every right to, my dear, every right.
