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
Li is standing with Nigel and Buford, who are now back on their two legs. The Beltapes are each wearing a high-tech-looking version of the back-support girdles commonly worn by warehouse workers.
Li: Since Beltapes were engineered for working in low-gravity environments, and we don't have time for extensive surgery, these braces will help you stay upright on Terra.
Panel 2
Nicole approaches Li, who is still addressing the two Beltapes
Li: They will restrict your movement a bit, but that can't be helped.
Nicole: Uh, this gravity isn't doing my back much good, either.
Nicole: Can I get one of those back-braces?
Panel 3
Li pats Nicole on the cheek. She does not look happy.
Li: Sorry, sweetie, but the best thing for you is to let those steroids and nannites I gave you earlier do their work.
Li: Your body evolved in 9.8 gravs, after all. You'll be fine.
Panel 4
Pan the frame to include Murphy, who is looking impatient.
Murphy: Enough gabbing. We have a mad scientist to rescue.
Li: First, we have four days of intensive training, or we're the ones who will need rescuing.
