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 1026
Panel 1Nicole, dressed in a robe, is sitting at a workstation, tapping an input pad with one hand and touching the holoscreen before her with the other. She has a very intense expression. Murphy, dressed in her tank-top and yoga pants, is behind her, looking on.
Murphy: You've been up for hours. What are you doing?
Nicole: Uh-huh.
Panel 2
Medium 2-shot. Murphy lays a hand on Nicole's shoulder, startling Nicole out of her intense focus.
Murphy: Uh-huh what?
Nicole: What? Oh! I'm sorry, I was intensely focused.
Nicole: I had an inspiration.
Panel 3
Pulling back a bit, Nicole gestures at the screen as she explains.
Nicole: I had studied a bit about electric-universe theory some time back, as a goof, really.
Nicole: But then I realized a symmetry between some of Seamus' proofs and Kravinoor
Awashina's equations, see?
Panel 4
Murphy rolls her eyes as she turns to leave. Nicole starts to re-focus on her holoscreen.
Murphy: Everyone needs a hobby, I suppose. Let me know when you're ready to get back to work.
Nicole: Thanks. Hey, would you make me a sandwich?
