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!
Panel 1
Shlack leads Hugo and Murphy through another passageway, with Shransh and Prenk following.
Shlack: How about taking a look at our warp drive?
Murphy (thoughtsend): You think our predecessors' Murphy Drives failed here, too?
Hugo (thoughtsend): I now consider it the most likely reason they didn't return.
Panel 2
They enter the Engine Control Room. Full of monitors and crisscrossed with conduits. Two more crewmembers here. Hugo and Murphy continue their silent conversation.
Shlack: This is our Engine Control Room. Most of our power core's output gets directed here.
Murphy (thoughtsend): Do you think we could find them?
Hugo (thoughtsend): Not by ourselves. But maybe the locals can help.
Panel 3
Shlack, Murphy, Hugo. Shlack gestures at the monitors while Hugo peers intently at them.
Shlack: So, please look it over and tell me whether our systems can be converted to this transwarp conduit technology of yours.
Hugo: This will take a little more time.
Shlack: How much is 'a little more time'?
