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 1038
Panel 1The girls are standing at the 'whiteboard' where they assemble components for the probes..
Murphy: If' we're going to be doing extensive testing we really need to get a handle on that flash effect.
Nicole: OK, how about if we set an EM shield to automatically envelop the probe at a 10-meter radius just before and after each transit?
Panel 2
The girls are now at the workstation where Nicole had been doing her 'electric universe' calculations.
Caption: Four tendays later:
Murphy: What we've been calling 'delta-Hamids' seems to relate to displacement distance logarithmically.
Nicole: Uh-huh. And on a vector perpendicular-leftward of the main breach engine axis.
Murphy: Can we mount the engine on gimbals?
Panel 3
Girls are back on the sofa, resting after another recreation session.
Caption: Two more tendays later:
Murphy: All that's left is to start testing with a live passenger.
Nicole: Those rat embryos we thawed should be ready by now.
Nicole: Poor little mousies ...
Panel 4
Close two-shot of Nicole and Murphy. Nicole is looking a bit nauseated.
Murphy: Somehow I doubt the flash-transits will be uncomfortable for them.
Nicole: I'm not worried so much about the transits …
Nicole: I'm thinking about the vivisections we'll have to do after they come back.
