Sci-Fi Adventure Monday & Thursday.
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 971
Panel 1Nicole and Murphy sitting together on the bed in their stateroom, conversing via thoughtsend. Their projected clothing is different, indicating a new day.
Murphy: All right, you've set up your accounts as I suggested, right? You'll be out of contact for quite some time.
Nicole: Yes, I did. I don't understand why all this cloak-and-dagger stuff, though.
Panel 2
Closer on Murphy and Nicole.
Murphy: No dagger, just cloak.
Murphy: And it's for operational security. You should understand that by now.
Nicole: But wouldn't Johanna already know about, you know, the secret stash?
Panel 3
Cut to a view of the room from the corridor, their door closed.
Murphy (OP): Remember we're talking about Lord Paranoid here. Seamus didn't even tell Johanna everything.
Murphy (OP): And it's a good thing, too. He's the one who found the monitoring device in that smart-suit Johanna gave you.
Nicole (voiced): WHAT!!!
Panel 4
Back inside the room, Nicole is shocked, Murphy is chuckling.
Murphy (thoughtsend): Relax. He disabled it at dinner the first night.
Murphy (thoughtsend): This might be why he paid you your fee a couple of days early.
