Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
To boldly go where no manic pixie dream girl has gone before.
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 1561
Panel 1Eithne, Agent Ppppbbthshpt, and the guard are walking down a corridor filled with wide doorways looking into small prison cells. Sleeping bench, toilet, a few shelves. The doorways have protruding jambs each of which has a broad, glowing strip. In most of these cells there are prisoners (various non-Glutean species) looking at the procession. These prisoners are all wearing 'safety collars.'
Eithne: Are we going to the silk stocking district?
AP: Stockings are not allowed here.
Panel 2
The procession pauses in front of an empty cell. The doorjambs here are glowing a different color.
Eithne: But my legs are getting cold!
AP: You will be issued new clothing shortly.
AP: For now, please step through here.
Panel 3
Eithne has stepped through and now turned to face AP and the Guard still in the corridor. The doorjamb is now lit like the other cells.
AP: When the doorway is lit like this, do not leave your room or your safety collar will activate.
AP: A facilitator will be here before long for your orientation.
Eithne: Ditching me already? I thought we were getting along famously.
