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 1286
Panel 1Alyss and Hayami in the workshop. Hayami is standing/leaning against a slightly reclined board. Alyss is accessing a panel on Hayami's belly.
Hayami: Anyway, we went to the secondary shelter and I expected the hopper to have come there for us, but no such luck.
Alyss: The medi-bot put me in an induced coma while it tended my injuries. I couldn't send the hopper back.
Panel 2
Alyss has extended a cable from a nearby console and is plugging it into Hayami's belly.
Hayami: Why didn't you come back for us before returning to Oz?
Hayami: I spent a whole day in a cave with my charges wondering if we'd be rescued.
Alyss: I … I thought you'd been captured by the Zytemonde Central Intelligence.
Panel 3
Hayami and Alyss. Alyss looks contrite but Hayami is smiling.
Alyss: I was planning a more intensive rescue mission and sent Michael back with the cruiser to reconnoiter.
Hayami: Yeah, he found us in the cave.
Alyss: I … I'm sorry I didn't come for you right away.
Hayami: I'll forgive you if you fork over some hazardous-duty pay.
