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
Cut to the Boneheads, who are now standing. Bonehead 1 is walking forward.
Bonehead 1: Since the only people who can get into this room unannounced, are former Boneheads themselves ...
Bonehead 1: I don't think there can be any doubt as to your, shall we say, providence.
Panel 2
Bonehead 1 is shaking hands with Hugh, as Nicole embraces Murphy and Harry looks on.
Harry: As I understand L-5 City case law …
Harry: Seamus O'Murchadha died on Terra. Hugh is a self-owning entity, and heir to O'Murchadha's estate.
Panel 3
Murphy, Nicole, Hugh, Harry, and Bonehead 1. Hugh and Harry are smiling at Nicole, who's eyes are wide-open in surprise.
Hugh: Ah, but not the sole heir.
Harry: Before he left Hyperion, O'Murchadha amended his will. Half of his shares in Project X go to his, ah, 'niece-granddaughter.'
Nicole: WHAT
Panel 4
Murphy, Nicole and Hugh.
Murphy: It was my idea, but Seamus readily agreed. We worked it out while I was consulting with him for the hearing.
Murphy: We shall both become very wealthy.
Nicole: Maybe, unless we both become very dead.
