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
The girls standing before the monitor, trying to solve the riddle before them.
Murphy: What about radio transmissions? Can you hear the Network?
Nicole: That's another thing. All it recorded was static.
Panel 2
Close two-shot of the girls, looking horrified.
Murphy: Static! But that would mean.
Nicole: In this universe, there's no civilization.
Murphy: But why? It only went 200 delta-hamids out! There was a thriving civilization two hundred T-years ago!
Panel 3
A different two-shot of the girls, Nicole is moving her hands across the control board.
Nicole: I don't know – maybe it was one of the Mercorp wars, or maybe a nearby supernova hit us with a beta-beam ...
Murphy: Did you record broad-spectrum? Try to digitally enhance the longer-wave bands.
Panel 4
Close two-shot of the girls, Nicole's eyes wide, Murphy looking incredulous.
Nicole: Wait … I got something …
Nicole: It's the time-code broadcast from L-5 City!
Nicole: The time is … 17:21 hours, 19 March … this can't be right ...
Murphy: … Five fifty-six? That's almost twelve years ago!
