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 28
Panel 1Wayne's limo (a very sleek, ground-effect hovercar) roars through the streets of Brussels. The streets are drab and thick with humanity but otherwise clean. The people are stoop-shouldered, like the Arsociate in the previous strip.
Wayne (in limo): This is Wayne Bobinardi.. Yes, the Exec with GENSAXWAL. What is the departure time for the Mercury Rising?
Panel 2
Inside the limo, Wayne is focused on his tele-convo and not paying attention to the street scene passing by.
Wayne: I need the departure held for an hour.
Wayne: I was unavoidably delayed in Brussels.
Panel 3
Truck the camera forward so we see the limmo driver, this one an android. Wayne can be seen in silhouette through the glass separating the driver section from the passenger section.
Wayne: Tell the captain I do not care about his launch window, I cannot possibly reach the Beanstalk Summit before 1700 local time.
Panel 4
Another exterior shot of the limo continuing its mad dash down the drab street.
Wayne: Tell him GENSAXWAL will cover the extra fuel cost, and I will personally make it worth his while.
