Hu Iz Alyss Roaz?
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 1284
Panel 1Alyss and Hayami stroll through the corridors, conversing via thoughtsending.
Hayami: She's quite the handful, isn't she?
Alyss: Actually, she reminds me a bit of myself at her age.
Alyss: But I need to know what happened with you on Zytemonde.
Panel 2
Medium c/u on Hayami:
Hayami: Like I said, they hit us hard and fast. One of my charges chose to play 'hero' and blow up the safe-house with himself inside. He and the coding wiz known as 'Razor' are missing and I presume they're dead.
Hayami: I grabbed Zander and we met up with the rest at the rendezvous point but were ambushed by Corbots. I don't know how they knew where to find us.
Hayami: That's also where Zander disappeared, and I'd like to know how he ended up with you.
Panel 3
Flashback panel showing Zander running like mad towards Alyss in the sewer. Cameos of both Alyss and Hayami in the present. Alyss looks a bit sheepish.
Alyss: Ah, my bad. I came across Zander running through the sewer like his ass was on fire.
Alyss: He was somewhat incoherent, and well, I underestimated your ability to handle the ambush. So we took off.
Hayami: Oh ye of little faith.
