Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
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.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Transcript For Strip 1136
Panel 1Meanwhile, back in Boney's parlor, Boney and Bok discuss business.
Bok: My gadget guy is gonna need resources.
Boney: What resources?
Bok: I don't know exactly, I'll have to talk to him.
Panel 2
Boney leads Bok in rising to their feet. Boney is extending a fist, knuckles down. Bok responds with the classic 'fist-bump' gesture.
Boney: All right, come back to me with a list.
Bok: I better get back to my buggy-friend now – he tends to wilt at parties.
Panel 3
Now back to Zander with the girls Nikki and Jamin. Zander is still babbling tech-talk and the girls are completely zoning-out.
Zander: … The induced emfs are capable of driving currents around a conductive metal circuit, which can be the rotor body, the shaft, the bearing surfaces, the stator frame and enclosure. If the stationary parts of the bearings are not insulated from their housings then a low conductivity circuit is available for the induced currents ...
Panel 4
Bok walks up to Zander and the girls, who are still zoned out at this point.
Bok: Ah so! Glass-hoppa is learning the art.
Bok: That is, if you haven't slipped something into those girls' drinks.
Zander: Huh?
Panel 5
Nikki and Jamin snap out of their trances and then are surprised to see Bok standing there in front of them. Jamin is covering her mouth as she coughs.
Nikki: What? Who? Oh, Bok!
Jamin: Ohch – {cough!} Hey Bok, as you can see we've met your friend.
Jamin: He's been such a fascinating talker.
Panel 6
Zander smiles and looks a slightly-skeptical Bok right in the eye. The girls don't understand the significance of this. Jamin is taking a swig from her nearly empty drink glass.
Bok: Zander can be full of surprises.
Zander: What can I say? They've been here with me almost the whole time you were gone.
