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
Nicole and Gary in bed, spooning/sleeping in post-coital glow, covers pulled up to armpits. Nicole has that just-ate-ice-cream expression.
No dialog.

Same shot. Gary has shifted position a bit and begun snoring; Nicole is awake an annoyed.
Gary: Sssnnrrrrrrrrk
Nicole: ...
Panel 3
Nicole is out of bed, zipping up her anysuit. Gary is still asleep, snoring.
Nicole (thought): You're a nice lay, Gary, but I need some sleep.
Gary: Sssnnrrrrrr ….
Panel 4
Nicole, with the boxed Sun-Shooter suit under one arm and Enry's rose bouqet in the other, treads down a residential corridor.
Nicole (thought): Sleep is sounding really good. But maybe a shower first.
Panel 5
Nicole in the shower. Lots of steam and soapy lather.
Nicole (thought): I wonder who invented showers. Damn brilliant idea.
Panel 6
Out of the shower, standing next to her bed, one towel wrapped around her head, the other around her body. She's looking at her Screen.
Nicole: Six hours until I have to get up and pack for Venus. Awesome.
Panel 7
Nicole sprawled face-down across her bed, asleep. The bedclothes only partially cover her, we can see she's only wearing panties.
Nicole: Sssnnnrrrrrrk ...
Panel 8
Nicole is jolted awake, she bolts up, instinctively clutching some bedclothes to her chest.
Filtered Voice: NICOLE!
